On his long-awaited debut album, Georgian baritone George Gagnidze – characterized by the American opera magazine Opera Now as a “gentle bear of a man” – presents celebrated and diverse opera characters such as Verdi’s murderous Count di Luna (Il trovatore), the vengeful Renato (Un ballo in maschera), the loyal friend Posa (Don Carlos), and the great king Nebuchadnezzar (Nabucco). Outside the Verdi canon, there is Andrea Chénier’s revolutionary colleague Gérard, Mozart’s notorious seducer Don Giovanni, and Wagner’s Wolfram (Tannhäuser), who pines for the love of Elisabeth.

Signed by the artist.
