May Recording of the Month: Maria di Rohan
May 28, 2025
Our May Recording of the Month is now available in full on our YouTube channel.
Our recording of Donizetti’s Maria di Rohan is of the original two tenor version first heard in Vienna in June 1843. The album also includes some of the appendices from the revised version for Paris which premiered in November of that same year. The most significant change here was the fact that Donizetti changed the tenor role of Armando di Gondì to a mezzo-soprano.
As the late Donizetti expert William Ashbrook said, this is the composer’s tautest, most melodramatic opera.
Featuring Krassimira Stoyanova as Maria, José Bros as Riccardo, Christopher Purves as Enrico and Brindley Sherratt as Die Fieque.
