Daniele Rustioni conducts Munich’s ‘clever’ new production of Aida
“…The great triumph of this Aida was in the pit. Daniele Rustioni showed us how subtle Verdi’s music is. The tempos were lively but never rushed, allowing the phrasing to develop and underline the architecture of Verdi’s musical line. Orchestra and chorus had colour, strength, and dynamics. Every premiere usually suffers from a few musical inaccuracies that disappear as the performances progress, but this was not the case here, as the quality was extremely high throughout.”
