Description:

A live recording of the 2001 performance at the Vienna State Opera, which marked the premiere of Verdis (18131901) early masterpiece *Nabucco*. This performance garnered attention not only for the brilliant voice of Leo Nucci in the title role and the expressive singing of Gregina as Abigaille, but also for the passionate performances by Dvorskiy, Domashchenko, and others, as well as Fabio Luisis dynamic conducting. The symbolic staging, which transposes the biblical story to the modern era, is also worth noting. Of course, the chorusessuch as Fly, my thoughts, on golden wingsare highlights of the performance.Naxos Japan
