Anna Netrebko sings Verdi
Anna Netrebko (soprano) / Orchestra Teatro Regio Torino, Gianandrea Noseda
[ Deutsche Grammophon / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 16 August 2013
Already one of the most anticipated classical albums of 2013, this sumptuous, all-Verdi programme is Anna's heartfelt birthday tribute to the master of Italian grand opera, with selections from Il Trovatore, Macbeth, I vespri siciliani, Don Carlo and Giovanna d'arco. Music of emotion, power and extraordinary drama - personally selected and performed by the best-selling soprano of the 21st century. 2013 marks Anna's ten years as a solo performer, and ten years with Deutsche Grammophon. It's Netrebko's first solo album in over five years, from the best-selling soprano of the 21st century.
Crowned "the Violetta of our age" (Financial Times), Netrebko is the undisputed superstar - "la prima donna assoluta" (New York Post) - of opera today.
Netrebko lays claim to the tragic repertoire of Italian grand opera: "Already celebrated for her glamorous face and voice, the fiery Russian-born diva has developed into a great tragic performer." (New York Post)
A decade on from the award-winning Opera Arias, Anna reunites with specialist Verdi conductor Gianandrea Noseda to continue this extraordinary musical journey.
"In many ways, Netrebko justifies her decision to tackle Verdi. She provides singing of sufficient amplitude and power to encompass the needs of Elisabeth de Valois...[and] is at her most expressive and skilled as Leonora, her tone firm and fleshy, her lines nicely shaped and her genuine trill coming in useful." BBC Music
"this is a very serious record by a serious singer in tip-top vocal shape...Netrebko's habitual risk-taking has not deserted her here - this set never feels like a careful assemblage of 'best' takes - and yet there's a vocal security and maturity that's not always been there before...A certain record of the year." Gramophone
