Verdi wanted to put a “grandiose and yet passionate libretto” into music. His first setting to a drama by Victor Hugo (Hernani ou l’honneur castillan), was composed in 1843, fascinated by the close integration of the formerly individual “numbers” into a structural unit and the further perfected depth of the figure drawing – including its relentless destruction at the end. However, Ernani is not one of the really big hits like Nabucco or La Traviata – like the other three early Verdi operas published by Marcus Bosch and the Cappella Aquileia in recent years. There is a method behind it: Bosch shows that even the supposedly somewhat weaker works by the great opera genius have their own special charms. In the case of Ernani, this is again extremely convincing: Marcus Bosch, the Czech Philharmonic Choir Brno and the Cappella Aquileia, together with a handpicked ensemble of singers, turn the first large piece of world-famous music by Verdi’s pen into an intense music-drama experience with proven precision.
