This 3CD box unites three recitals that showcase the virtuosity, elegance and expressivity of mezzo-soprano Vivica Genaux. Together, the programmes, recorded between 2003 and 2009, offer a survey of the repertoire that has figured most strongly in Genaux's career - music from the 18th and early 19th centuries by Vivaldi, Handel, Hasse, Rossini and Donizetti. The spectacular recital of arias by Vivaldi, 'Pyrotechnics' was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2010.
"Mezzo-soprano Vivica Genaux is superb. Her voice is perfectly suited to this type of repertoire, with the ability to tackle the stratospheric scales, arpeggios and trills, while remaining comfortable in the lower registers." (MusicWeb Feb 2010 on the Vivalsi)
"On its own terms it provides some brilliant singing from a superb singer. What more could one ask for." (MusicWeb Nov 2006 on the Handel/Hasse)
