Engaging rarity: Verdi's Un giorno di Regno from Heidenheim
[…] youthful lyric baritone which suits the music admirably, though he hardly sounds too old for Giulietta. Leon de la Guardia plays his relatively small role of Ivea to the hiltand there is strong support from Daniel Dropulja as Delmonte. Verdi: Un giorno di regno - Heidenheim Opera Festival 2017 (Photo Oliver Vogel) I have to confess that if you want perfect singing then Lamberto Gardelli's recording on Philips (with Jessye Norman, Fiorenza Cossotto, Jose Carrera and Ingvar Wixell) takes some beating.

Aquella mañana se despertó y supo que 49 años dedicados a su único amor eran más que suficientes. Una sensación de soledad le invadió, sentía que la muerte le alcanzaba. No solo porque se le venía encima, sino porque al terminar con su Carrera, sus días dejarían de tener sentido. Preparó un baño bien caliente y pensó en los jóvenes que ocuparían su lugar. Ya nadie canta como antes, se dijo a sí mismo. Sabía que esa noche sería la última cita con su amor incondicional y sus amantes pasajeros, el público.
