| |  | Great Operatic Arias 18 - Jennifer LarmoreSung in English
She presents her first operatic arias disc on Chandos Opera in English with a wide range of composers, performing works from Donizetti’s La favorita, Cilea’s Adriana Lecourvreur, Rossini’s Tancredi, Rienzi by Wagner, Romeo and Juliet by Gounod and Mozart’s Don Giovanni to name but a few! As well as solo arias she also performs a number of duets and is joined on the disc by Susan Patterson, Fflur Wyn and Colin Lee – all familiar names on the Chandos Opera in English label. “Track by track, Larmore's technical command and dramatic concentration are stunning. That Rienzi solo, for instance, is an immense undertaking, and everything - vocal range and expressive intensity for a start - is in the grand manner, indomitable and tireless.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2007 “Versatility is the key to mezzo Jennifer Larmore's success in this English-language programme, as it is in the opera house. …when one hears her in the waltz-song from Gounod's Romeo and Juliet, a coloratura soprano showpiece that goes too high for many sopranos' comfort, then one just has to take off one's hat.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2007 ****  BBC Music Magazine
