IL TROVATORE
Total recording released at Arte Nova
‘Ivan Anguélov provokes burning "Verdi-flames" in a new production of 'Il Trovatore' at ARTE NOVA with his exceedingly speedy but yet rhythmically accentuated and never rushed musical conduction, he leads the Slovak Radio-Symphony-Orchestra to dazzling heights. The conductor possesses an unwavering feeling for the thrilling dramatic suspense of the opus and he produces a burning atmosphere just by his narrative orchestral sound. It’s gratifying that ARTE NOVA was able to gain this conductor for its low-budget- recording. The artistic quality of this recording matches any high price production.’
Orpheus
‘At the desk, we find Ivan ANGUÉLOV, a conductor, who never confounds dramatic art and passionate fire with pompous emphasis and cheap effects. First of all, he keeps the music flowing constantly with speedy tempos, then he constructs natural tensions allowing the strings to blossom warmly. ’
