Marina Rebeka sings a selection of the best opera arias of all time along the Wrocław Opera Orchestra under the baton of Marco Boemi.
BBC Music Review: “From the opening phrase of Puccini’s ‘Un bel di’ we know we are in safe hands. Latvian soprano Marina Rebeka’s latest recital album is so much more than a pat trawl through 13 operatic lollipops. On the whole, though, this is Rolls-Royce singing, the voice a finely tuned engine whose expressive powers go from zero to off-the-dial in seconds as an introspective pianissimo builds to an outburst of unleashed emotion in a single phrase…”
Arias of Puccini (Madama Butterfly, La Rondine, Tosca, La Bohème, and Gianni Schicchi), Boito (Mefistofele), Cilea (Adriana Lecouvreur), Tchaikovsky (Pique Dame), Giordano (La Mamma Morta), Leoncavallo (Pagliacci), Dvorak (Rusalka), and Catalani (La Wally).
An album to celebrate and enjoy opera at its best!
