“A thrilling record . . . Muti rouses his forces, solo and concerted, with all his old gifts for energizing rhythms and shaping a Verdian line. Studer is in ebullient form as Elena and Zancanaro is an impressive Monforte.” — Gramophone

I vespri siciliani tells the tragic love story of Elena and Arrigo, Sicilians unhappy with the French occupation whose wedding signals the death of those around them. Originally premiered in French and very much rooted in the French style, it was quickly translated into Italian following its premiere in 1855. A champion of Verdi’s works, Riccardo Muti leads this live recording from the Teatro alla Scala, Milan.
