Unique for her dramatic flair, expert musicality, and interpretive powers, soprano Patricia Petibon indulges in her love of Luso-Iberian music. From zarzuela to art song, folk song, the Aria Cantilena of Brazil’s Villa-Lobos, and the traditional Afro-Brazilian Ogundé uareré, Patricia Petibon also samples the new. She includes the world-premiere recording of Nicolas Bacri’s song cycle, which was written in dedication to her. Patricia Petibon adds spice by teaming up with flamenco musicians for one-of-a-kind performances of the zarzuela hit Adios, Granada and the folk tune El vito. Beloved favorites are not neglected: Petibon’s take on La tarántula, Marinela, Canto negro, and La petenera sparkle with light and life. “A remarkable achievement: a fan letter to Spanish music (not excluding South America or an excursion to Villa-Lobos's Brazil) including a new commission from Nicolas Bacri. It's carried out with aplomb...Petibon is especially effective in the zarzuela numbers...Throughout, Petibon's acting and character skills evidently lift each interpretation...Hugely recommended.” Gramophone Magazine, January 2012 “a more apt title is would be hard to imagine...This is in every respect a superlative disc and demonstrates yet again that in Patricia Petibon we have a singer with a real gift for vivid and colourful performances supported by an impeccable technique and real all-round artistry. This is not the best thing she has ever done, simply because just about everything she does is exceptional.” International Record Review, January 2012 “There's a pleasingly rich core to Petibon's voice besides the coloratura heights she's renowned for. She performs with total commitment and without fear and this injects everything she sings with tremendous character.” Classic FM Magazine, February 2012 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Soprano superstar Anna Netrebko steps away from the operatic stage to create her most personal and intimate album yet. Souvenirs is a gorgeous collection of short and sparkling pieces that allow Anna to display her amazing voice and temperament “This recording is like a bridal bouquet, bursting with variety and colours,” says Anna Netrebko. “I want it to create a wonderful array of emotions – passion, fun, love, tenderness.” The album includes repertoire from all over the world: songs in French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Latin, Czech, Yiddish, Spanish and – of course – Russian. These are pieces that are very close to Anna’s heart and include treasures by Dvorák, Grieg, Carlos Guastavino, Reynaldo Hahn, Offenbach, Richard Strauss, as well as rarely performed songs by Rimsky-Korsakov. For this special project, Anna is accompanied by conductor Emmanuel Villaume and the Prague Philharmonia. Villaume is well-known as the director of the Spoleto Festival (USA) and is a regular guest at major opera houses such as the Teatro La Fenice and the Met. He has previously worked with Anna in concert and is a perfect match for her passionate artistry. On this album Anna Netrebko has a few stunning guests to partner with her: Elina Garanca for Offenbach's Barcarole, Andrew Swait for Andrew Lloyd Webber's “Pie Jesu” (Requiem), Piotr Beczala for Heuberger's “Im Chambre Séparée”. Stunningly talented, gorgeous and intelligent, Netrebko already has the music world at her feet making this one of THE albums of 2008, eagerly awaited by her legions of fans as well as all music lovers worldwide. Cap Box / Limited Edition: This will be the perfect Christmas gift package for the fans. It will have CD + booklet, bonus DVD, postcards and poster.

Although the fireworks of Arditi's "Il bacio" bring the disc to an exuberant finish, the introspective songs fare best.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2008 “In this lightweight collection of songs and arias from opera, operetta and zarzuela, the Russian star soprano sticks mainly to slow-tempo numbers. Richly coloured and in top condition, her voice exhibits a mezzo-like warmth in such pieces as 'Meine Lippen, sie küssen so heiss' from Lehár's Giuditta or 'Depuis le jour' from Charpentier's Louise. It is indeed an exceptional instrument.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2009 *** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
