ENGLISH

Pergolesi: Adriano in Siria (OABD7098D) (2010)<br /> <br /> Marina Comparato (Adriano); Lucia Cirillo (Emirena); Annamaria Dell'Oste (Farnaspe); Nicole Heaston (Sabina); Accademia Bizantina; Ottavio Datone<br /> <br /> For the festivities marking the Pergolesi’s tercentenary in his native Jesi, Ignacio García created a new staging of the imperial drama Adriano in Siria. His staging in Jesi’s exquisite 18th-century Teatro Comunale Pergolesi includes the delightful comic intermezzo Livietta e Tracollo, thus following the precedent set at the premiere in 1734. A fine Italian cast and the distinguished Accademia Bizantina are led by the Accademia’s director, Ottavio Dantone.<br /> <br /> "Realised with vibrant, breathtaking musicanship." (BBC Music Magazine)<br /> <br /> "This is an exceptionally fine production that offers a great deal of integrity and fascination." (Gramophone)<br /> <br /> "This is the most impressive and engaging product of Pergolesi's anniversary year I've heard so far." (International Record Review)
