Kraków Philharmonic Orchestra, Antonino Fogliani

Recorded during the 2022 Rossini in Wildbad festival, the soprano Serena Farnocchia stars as Ermione in a Rossini opera filled with captivating lyrical expressiveness and spectacular vocal acrobatics. Antonino Fogliani conducts this critically acclaimed performance.

"Fogliani holds the whole drama powerfully on course, as does the Ermione, Serena Farnocchia. Every inch the tigress at her first appearance, she, like Antonacci, sustains the role through the great 35-minute denouement." - Gramophone Magazine, August 2024
