Youthful Verdi revealed: a lithe and impulsive I Lombardi from Heidenheim
[…] is a movement which takes these operas on their own terms, rather than back-projecting middle-to-late Verdi onto the early works. This is the third of Heidenheim's early Verdi series on Coviello Classics, Marcus Bosch conducts the Cappella Aquileia and Czech Philharmonic Choir Brno, with Leon de la Guardia as Arvino, Pavel Kudinov as Pagano, Anna Werle as Viclinda, Ania Jeruc as Giselda, Daniel Dropulja as Pirro, Christoph Wittmann as the Prior of Milan, Andrew Nolen as Acciano, Marian Talaba as Oronte, and Kate Allen as Sofia.The dramaturgy of I Lombardi is unsatisfactory because Verdi and his librettist Temistocle Solera seem to have been concerned to keep the story highly compressed.

[…] this year it was the turn of Nabucco and I Lombardi.We caught the second performance of Verdi's I Lombardi at the Heidenheim Congress Centre on 20 July 2018. Directed by Tobias Heyder with costumes by Janine Werthmann and lighting by Hartmut Litzinger, the cast featured Leon de la Guardia as Arvino, Pavel Kudinov as Pagano, Anna Werle as Viclinda, Ania Jeruc as Giselda, Daniel Dropulja as Pirro, Christoph Wittmann as the prior of Milan, Andrew Nolen as Acciano, Marian Talaba as Oronte, Kate Allen as Sofia and Klaus Peter Preussger as Folco.
