Experience the scorching drama of Vivaldi’s late masterpiece Il Bajazet (Tamerlano), recorded live at Venice’s Teatro La Fenice with Federico Maria Sardelli conducting the orchestra in a vivid new critical edition. Renato Dolcini’s defiant Bajazet, Sonia Prina’s commanding Tamerlano, Raffaele Pe’s exquisitely sung Andronico, Loriana Castellano’s copper-bright Asteria, Lucia Cirillo’s explosive Irene, and Valeria La Grotta ignite this restored 1735 pasticcio, blending Vivaldi’s own blazing arias with Neapolitan gems and rediscovered numbers in period-perfect colours. Gramophone praises its theatrical vitality and hails Sonia Prina as “a magnetic performer.” Immerse yourself in Venetian baroque opera at its most thrilling – available now to stream or download worldwide.
