Pia Heise - a rare talent nurtured by world leading accompanist, Roger Vignoles, has her first CD released featuring a beautiful selection of music which has a theme of the night running through it. “Heise has an attractive voice and sings with appealing candour. Roger Vignoles is an attentive, vastly experienced accompanist. Yet it is hard to suppress the feeling that this debut recital is premature...In both [Danish] songs she sings with a confidence and a mezzo glow in the tone that can seem inhibited in the familiar German songs...As yet her characterisation is cautious, generalised, with no illumination of individual words and phrases.” Gramophone Magazine, Awards Issue 2012 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days.

Bellini: | Son vergin vezzosa (from I Puritani) Eccomi in lieta vesta...Oh! quante volte (from I Capuleti e I Montecchi) Vien, diletto, è in ciel la luna (from I Puritani) | Donizetti: | La Corrispondenza amorosa Amore e morte La dernière nuit d'un novice Le crépuscule O toi, Lisbonne (from Dom Sébastien, Roi de Portugal) Sung in Italian Qui un pugnale!...Ah! nel cuor (from Gemma di Vergy) Non turbati a questi accenti (from Caterina Cornaro) Vieni, amor...Leonora! A' piedi tuoi (from La Favorita) La morale in tutto questo (from Don Pasquale) Com'é gentil…Tornami a dir (from Don Pasquale) Come, innocente giovane (from Anna Bolena) Convien partir (from La figlia del reggimento) Deciso è dunque...le richezze (from La Figlia del Reggimento) | Liszt: | Sonetti di Petrarca (3) for voice & piano, S270 | Mascagni: | La tua stella Pena d´amore Rosa | Mozart: | Madamina, il catalogo è questo (from Don Giovanni) La ci darem la mano (from Don Giovanni) Hai gia vinta la causa! (from Le nozze di Figaro) | Respighi: | Notte, P. 97 No. 1 Stornellatrice Ma come potrei Nebbie Tanto bella | Verdi: | Ad una stella Il tramonto Lo spazzacamino Di provenza il mar (from La Traviata) Perfidi!…Pietà, rispetto, amore (from Macbeth) In braccio alle dovizie (from I Vespri Siciliani) Plebe! Patrizi! Popolo! (from Simon Boccanegra) |
This set includes the most famous recording of Alfredo Kraus, Lucia Alberti and Renato Bruson with arias by Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi, Mascagni etc. Also included are rare opera scenes such as Donizetti’s “Gemmy di Vergy” and Bellini’s “I Capuleti e I Montecchi. A highly recommended collection for fans of opera and these Belcanto artists. “Kraus is in fine voice at 62...Aliberti peals out secure, clean-toned ardour...Bruson is a skilled exponent of [bel canto]...His more emphatic, dramatic side is met in the wonderful Council Chamber scene, especially as Boccanegra launches his curse. The Mozart pieces are good, yet I shall place them behind the Donizetti and Verdi on this laudable CD.” International Record Review, December 2011 | | | (also available to download from $17.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
