‘The public feels so close and intimate. There’s really nowhere to escape…’ Angela Gheorghiu “…it's the Verdi group that is the heart of the first half. "In solitaria stanza", with its main theme closely resembling "Tacea la notte" from Il trovatore, must rank as one of the loveliest things she has recorded. …the Massenet "Elégie"… benefits from Gheorghiu's operatic experience: here are words and music given equal importance to make a miniature drama. ...throughout the recital, Jeff Cohen provides a sensitive and idiomatic accompaniment. The recording catches the mood; it was obviously a fun evening.” Gramophone Magazine, November 2007 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
