Background: 'That recent useful reference work the Penguin Opera Guide calls Maria di Rohan Donizetti's 'tautest, most melodramatic opera', a judgement I thought exaggerated until listening to the new CD version brought out by Nightingale (NC0705672). This opera of love and tragedy set in seventeenth-century France requires a soprano adept at the bel-canto style and in Edita Gruberova, the conductor Elio Boncompagni has found the ideal Maria. She is well partnered by Octavio Arevalo. Their voices blend superbly, especially in great set pieces such as the Act Two duet 'Ecco l'ora'. This welcome recording, which has excellent sound quality, is based on a performance given recently in Vienna, the city where the opera had its premiere in 1843.' A Paterson in Contemporary Review.
