DON CARLO - Modena, Piacenza & Regio Emilia

03.11.2023
Don Carlo
"He (Michele Pertusi) and the Georgian bass Ramaz Chikviladze pulled out all the stops for their thrilling battle of the souls, their voices vying with each other for stentorian impact." 
Hugh Cunning, Operalogue 

"His (Michele Petrusi) ensuing encounter with the Grand Inquisitor, a rare Verdi scene for two basses, was gripping, not least because of Ramaz Chikviladze as the Inquisitor. This Inqiuisitor was inflexible, unmoved and immovable, the very embodiment of fixed ideas. The contrast to Pertusi’s emotional King was remarkable." 
Colin Clarke, Gramophone

"But since the devil is hidden in the details, here is The Grand Inquisitor by the Georgian bass Ramaz Chikviladze, a hard and frigid voice, with an oscillating intonation."
Gilbero Mion, Teatro it 


"In addition to the quintet of protagonists, it is worth mentioning the correct performance of Ramaz Chikviladze as the Grand Inquisitor (with perfectible diction)."
