The first issue in a series of new recordings for Brilliant Classics from the world famous Budapest National Opera, Hungarian operas in Hungarian.
Ferenc Erkel was one of the foremost romantic composers of Hungary, one might be tempted to call him the Hungarian Verdi. His operas were based on the rich, long and troublesome history of his home country, and are the first to be written in Hungarian. The plot centres around the hero Hunyadi László in his fight against to ruling Ottomans in the 13th century.
Excellent performances by Hungarian forces, the crème of the Budapest National Opera, with its long and famous tradition, in which also Gustav Mahler played his role (he was director of the Budapest Opera for several years).
Booklet contains detailed notes on the music and plot synopsis, libretto in original language downloadable from the Brilliant Classics website.
