RecommendedRossini Opera Arias & Duets
Marie-Nicole Lemieux (contralto), Patrizia Ciofi (soprano)
Orchestre national de Montpellier Occitanie, Enrique Mazzola
Lemieux is paired with the dreamy, soft soprano of Patrizia Ciofi and their voices intertwine very nicely in the Norma-like consecutive thirds of Tancredi’s ‘Lasciami: non t’ascolto’. The celebrated... — More…

RecommendedAngela Gheorghiu (Magda/Anna), Roberto Alagna (Ruggero/Roberto), William Matteuzzi (Prunier), Inva Mula (Lisette), Alberto Renaldi (Rambaldo)

Patrizia Ciofi (soprano), Joyce DiDonato (mezzo)
Il Complesso Barocco, Alan Curtis
The duets in his operas are the special treats, coming at climactic points – most often, two lovers' supposedly final parting, or their ultimate reunion. Try 'Io t'abbraccio', from Rodelinda,... — More…
