Zaza Gagua from Georgia delivers a vivid portrayal of Oroveso, supported by a voice of the rich, resonant kind often associated with basses from the Eastern traditions.

Zaza Gagua as the unrelentingly brutal Ramfis, devoted to Amneris but unyielding to all others, stands expressively at the heart of the remarkable chorus work prepared by Guillaume Fauchère, whose uniform sound sometimes takes on the quality of Gregorian chants.
