Guillaume Tell Overture
Guillaume Tell Overture
....Verdi's Rigoletto in the production of the Royal Opera House in London, Renato Balsadonna conducted a surprisingly vivid and full bodied performance with drive and dynamics that made a memorable night. Fantastic!"
...the orchestra under the direction of conductor Renato Balsadonna was superb and proved that one could understand the story by listening to the music alone.
...with powerful guidance from conductor Renato Balsadonna, whose direction was never less than idiomatic and drew beautiful playing from the orchestra, they managed to persuade me this time that the breaking-up-is-hard-to-do emotions of act three are really the most glorious part of the entire opera.
