Daniele GattiAbout
“…Once again underlining the exceptional condition of the Orchestra del Maggio, the male choir of the Florentine institution in this Oedipus rex rises to the level of protagonist. Beautiful voices merged into one, maximum tension throughout the performance up to the astonishing finale. And therefore the maestro Lorenzo Fratini, a very distinguished guide of the team, places himself on the same level as Daniele Gatti.
“Each element of the vocal cast – and what a cast, I add – made a remarkable contribution to the splendid performance, from the vocals of Ekaterina Semenchuck, estranged and tragic Giocasta, to the solid Creonte of Alex Esposito, to the younger and in any case well placed Adolfo Corrado (Tiresia), Luca Bernard, (Il Pastore), Sebastian Geyer (Il Messaggero). Massimo Popolizio declaimed the text of the narrator making it as close as possible to the demythologizing taste of our days. At the end a triumph for all with applause …Rightly deserved.”
