Description:

An opera that combines the energy of Verdis early works with the psychological depth of his later worksBosch brilliantly conducts *Attila*Premiered in 1846 at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, *Attila* is the ninth opera composed by Verdi at the age of 32. While it carries on the early style established in *Nabucco*, with its spectacular choral scenes, this significant work also reveals the first signs of the maturity that would characterize his later operas, such as *Rigoletto*, *Il Trovatore*, and *La Traviata*, in its psychological portrayal of the characters. Centered on Attila, king of the Huns, and Odabella, who seeks to avenge her fathers death, the drama unfolds as power, betrayal, love, and revenge intertwine. This recording brings together the Capella Aquileia, led by Markus Bosch, the Brno Czech Philharmonic Choir, and a cast of accomplished singers. It is a new, outstanding addition t
