Juan Diego Flórez (tenor), Anna Netrebko (soprano), Patrizia Ciofi (soprano), Daniela Barcellona (mezzo-soprano), Mariusz Kwiecien (baritone) & Fernando Piqueras (baritone) Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana & Cor de la Generalitat Valenciana, Daniel Oren BONUS DVD - includes 8min Interview + 2 Full Arias - Ah! Mes amis, quel jour de fête! – La Fille du régiment + Povero Ernesto! – Don Pasquale “The famous nine Cs, as Tonio sings Qual destino, are reached early on, each scaled without peril. There are twinges of slight vocal strain elsewhere. Even so the CD remains, as the title says, a Bel Canto Spectacular, with the trademark Flórez blaze of a voice burning up seven Donizetti opera scenes, two Rossini and one Bellini.
It’s a wonderful technical display. But like direct exposure to the sun, a voice of this intensity needs to be rationed. How wise of Flórez and his managers, therefore, to match his blowtorch with the gentler timbres of other singers: Anna Netrebko...Patrizia Ciofi...Danielo Barcellona...[and] Placido Domingo.” The Times, 20th June 2008 **** |

| |  | Nicolai GeddaRecordings From 1952-1957
The recordings for this 2 CD set have been carefully selected to show to advantage the extraordinary control
Gedda has over his vocal resources and also to demonstrate his remarkable gift for language. The French opera
excerpts all display an appealing sense of style together with excellent musicianship, both traits so much admired
in the 19th and early 20th centuries. His Russian scenes and arias have an authentic ring, his German highly
romantic and his Italian arias although his voice does not possess that particular Mediterranean warmth, do
nevertheless have a sense of morbidezza (tenderness) usually more associated with the Latin tenor. |
