Carlo Talks with Gramophone’s Martin Cullingford

July 8, 2025

The latest episode of Carlo Talks is available now on our YouTube channel. Recorded at London’s Creative Kin studios – where Lives in Song is also taped – we invited Gramophone magazine’s editor Martin Cullingford to take the driver’s seat and quiz our Artistic Director Carlo Rizzi for this special episode.

They talk about Opera Rara as Gramophone’s Label of the Year, how Carlo Rizzi first became aware of Opera Rara’s work and three recordings which according to him are an essential place to start discovering our back catalogue (and why!).

We hope you enjoy their conversation:
