Nina Stemme Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Antonio Pappano Speaking of Nina’s interpretation of the Four Last Songs, Pappano enthuses: “I trust the warmth of Nina's voice. There are a lot of lighter voices that have recorded the piece but you have to remember that Kirsten Flagstad sang the premiere and it's that kind of ample voice with warmth and body - Nina's voice - that I think is too rarely heard in this repertoire.” | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
