‘..even the frequent breaks vibrate’
Without action on the surface to illustrate the action on stage linked so closely with the suggestive sound world of Verdi’s music. With an unparalleled sharpness, Teodor Currentzis colours the score with expressive accents and leaves finest piano glow, yes, even the frequent breaks vibrate before threatening voltage.
Shrill grotesque, abysmal blackness, dramatic culmination – Currentzis distinguished the music not only by sculpturing, he knows precisely bring these elements together. And the shiny predisposed Philharmonia Zurich follow him courageously.
