In 2012, Evelino Pidò received the much-coveted Bellini d’Oro prize for best interpreter of the music of Bellini. His discography includes a recording of French arias with tenor Vittorio Grigolo, L’elisir d’amore with the Orchestra and Choir of the Opéra de Lyon for Decca; a recording of Rossini overtures with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and La sonnambula with Natalie Dessay for EMI Virgin Classics, which won the Diapason d’or and is critically acknowledged as a benchmark recording of this opera.
