Lamberto Gardelli

**Lamberto Gardelli** was an Italian conductor celebrated for his passionate interpretations of opera, particularly the works of Verdi and lesser-known verismo composers. Born in Venice in 1915, he studied at Bologna’s Liceo Musicale and built a career championing both iconic and underappreciated operas. Known for his crisp, dramatic style, Gardelli worked with major houses like the Royal Swedish Opera and Hungarian State Opera, while his prolific recordings with labels like Decca brought classics like *Macbeth* and *Requiem* to life with fiery intensity. He also had a knack for reviving quirky gems, like Wolf-Ferrari’s *Il segreto di Susanna*, and collaborated with legendary singers, including soprano Edita Gruberová. Gardelli’s legacy lives on through his vibrant studio and live recordings, which continue to reintroduce audiences to the richness of 19th and 20th-century opera. He passed away in 1998, leaving behind a discography that opera buffs still geek out over today.
