| |  | Baritone Arias
Lado Ataneli (baritone) Württemberg Philharmonic Orchestra, Lodovico Zocche For his Naxos début recording, the internationally acclaimed Georgian baritone Lado Ataneli has selected operatic arias by Bizet, Donizetti, Leoncavallo, Verdi, Massenet, Mozart and Rossini, which showcase what the Los Angeles Times hailed as “one of the healthiest, roundest, most mellifluous voices on the planet”. A sought-after interpreter of verismo rôles, Lado Ataneli has worked with conductors including Riccardo Muti, James Conlon and James Levine, sharing the stage with Plácido Domingo and other leading singers. He closes his recital with an aria by Dimitri Arakishvili, one of the founders of modern Georgian music. “The breath control is impressive: he can elide the phrases of 'Vision fugitive' in Hérodiade with the breadth of past masters and the long-sustained final note is evidently a trademark.” Gramophone Magazine, June 2010 | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
