"The story is about a father-son relation. The father is Doge of Venice and as such he is the upholder of law in Venice. His son Jacopo has returned from exile and is accused of murder ... Guanqun Yu sings with a good legato and expressive phrasing and is a brilliant Lucrezia. Veteran Leo Nucci as the Doge is fully acceptable, considering his age ... Ivan Magrì's Jacopo ... is nuanced and sensitive but basically he is over-parted by the role. He has a nice voice but shouldn't be singing such a heavy role ... The present recording has several good moments but in the last resort I advise readers to invest in the Philips recording with Carreras".

"If your impression of early Verdi is one of crudity, his sixth opera I due Foscari (1844) will make you think again. Almost unrelievedly sombre - something the composer later perceived as a weakness - the score is an appreciable achievement ... 76-year-old baritone Leo Nucci's ... voice sounds in good condition ... Tenor Ivan Magri brings an appealing lyrical charge, shaping the line with sensitivity ... Guanqun Yu brings a smallish voice and generally impressive facility to the part [of Lucrezia], though her diction is weak. The orchestra is more than presentable and the chorus confident, while the conductor Ivan Repusic captures the atmosphere of each and every scene".

"In der vorliegender Einspielung konzertanter Aufführungen von Verdis früher Oper "I due Foscari" ... überzeugt Nucci erneut ... Zwar klingt der 76-Jährige nicht mehr so vollmundig und flexibel wie früher, doch immer noch unverwechselbar in seiner konzentrierten Tongebung ... Solide die übrige, ungarisch dominierte Sängerriege ... Die Aufnahme überzeugt vor allem durch die farbintensiv-furiose Partiturinterpretation des Münchner Rundfunkorchesters unter seinem Chefdirigenten Ivan Repusic".

"I due Foscari bursts with all the energy and invention characteristic of early Verdi, and Ivan Repusic's conducting on this live recording ... is full of vim and vitality ... There's excellent playing from his rich, refined-sounding orchestra ... Nucci can still deliver in the title-role. He brings real dramatic authority and displays impressive residual heft in his baritone. There's no hiding the signs of age, though ... [Magrì] is an appealing singer with a bright tone and plenty of style. Guanqun Yu also makes a strong impression as Lucrezia, her soprano powerful and focused, with a nice Italianate colour to it. But I miss a bit of fire in the characterisation ... Despite the caveats, though, this is a modern set that is both dramatically engaging and enjoyable".
