...Fogliani provided the most passionate reading of this Donizetti’s masterpiece that I have ever heard...Antonino Fogliani gave a powerful reading of the score, choosing fast tempi for the most energetic passages like the first scene and chorus “ Percorriamo le spiagge vicine” or the second act concertante. This was contrasted with pesante tempi for such moments as “Soffriva nel pianto” or “Ardon gl’incensi,” bringing Donizetti’s music to life. It was dramatic and meaningful rather than a mere voice accompaniment.
