Info for Berühmte Opernchöre

Famous choruses and instrumental pieces from Italian, German and Russian operas with the Bavarian Radio Chorus and the Munich Radio Orchestra under the direction of it’s chief conductor Ivan Repušić.

“Fuoco di gioia” – at the beginning of Verdi’s “Otello”, the compatriots of the victorious protagonist cheer his triumphant return to his home port with a vocal “fire of joy”. The opera quote is also the title of this new album recently recorded by the Bavarian Radio Chorus, together with the Münchner Rundfunkorchester under its chief conductor Ivan Repušić. The opera chorus from “Otello” begins this selection of famous choruses and instrumental pieces from stage works of Italian belcanto (Verdi), Italian verismo (Leoncavallo, Puccini, Mascagni), Russian opera (Borodin, Glinka, Tchaikovsky), and the romantic operas of Richard Wagner. In the past, some opera choruses even helped to write political history, one being the Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves from Verdi’s “Nabucco”. It went on to become the hymn of the Risorgimento – the Italian national unification movement at the end of the 19th century.
