Two of opera’s biggest stars, on the crest of solo album triumphs, team up for this long-awaited duet album of Verdi Scenes. It is high drama and great Verdi, with Dmitri Hvorostovsky, widely recognized as “the Verdi baritone of our time” (Los Angeles Times), and Sondra Radvanovsky, the fastest-rising “true Verdi soprano” (Opera News) in international opera today. The electricity is palpable in the emotional duet scenes from Il Trovatore, Un Ballo in Maschera, and Simon Boccanegra. Dmitri sings a favorite among his signature arias, “O Carlo, ascolta,” from Don Carlo; and Sondra gives us a memorable glimpse of her Tosca in “Vissi d’arte.” We are treated to delightful Mozart and tender Dvorak. Dmitri’s favorite conductor, Constantine Orbelian, leads the Philharmonia of Russia in masterful fashion. “If Hvorostovsky's tone has become leaner, its smoothness and secutiry are still distinctive...one can distinguish Hvorostovsky's benign Boccanegra from his curtly venomous di Luna” BBC Music Magazine, June 2011 *** “The charisma factor is considerable: Sondra Radvanovsky has a plaintive lyric soprano that can do the work of mid-weight Verdi roles such as Amelia in Un ballo in maschera, Leonora in Il Trovatore and the other scenes excerpted here...[Hvorostovsky] brings to the music a plush sonority that's particular gratifying in the lyrical passages...Orbelian has all the big Verdi moments well in hand” Gramophone Magazine, July 2011 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

The 90 minute film is presented by Renée Fleming herself, as she takes the viewer on a journey through the principal sights and musical history of ‘The Venice of the North’. All repertoire was performed by special permission in the opulent theatres of the Winter Palace, the Yusopov Palace and the magnificent palace of Peterhof.

| |  | Verdi: Duetti Verdiani
Amarilli Nizza & Roberto Frontali Orchestra of the Dvořák Theatre of Ostrava, Gianluca Martinenghi This new Dynamic release presents a collection of Verdi Duets, sung by Amarilli Nizza and Roberto Frontali. “From the start, sparks fly. A dramatic edge inflects Nizza's voice as Abigaille exults in Nabucco's downfall. Nizza blazes across the compass of the role without crashing through gears...[Frontali's] voice remains firm and he draws variety from it by way of colour and weight. It sounds right for these paternal roles...Martinenghi supplies fitting tempos and relevant colour.” International Record Review, January 2011 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
