Soprano superstar Anna Netrebko steps away from the operatic stage to create her most personal and intimate album yet. Souvenirs is a gorgeous collection of short and sparkling pieces that allow Anna to display her amazing voice and temperament “This recording is like a bridal bouquet, bursting with variety and colours,” says Anna Netrebko. “I want it to create a wonderful array of emotions – passion, fun, love, tenderness.” The album includes repertoire from all over the world: songs in French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Latin, Czech, Yiddish, Spanish and – of course – Russian. These are pieces that are very close to Anna’s heart and include treasures by Dvorák, Grieg, Carlos Guastavino, Reynaldo Hahn, Offenbach, Richard Strauss, as well as rarely performed songs by Rimsky-Korsakov. For this special project, Anna is accompanied by conductor Emmanuel Villaume and the Prague Philharmonia. Villaume is well-known as the director of the Spoleto Festival (USA) and is a regular guest at major opera houses such as the Teatro La Fenice and the Met. He has previously worked with Anna in concert and is a perfect match for her passionate artistry. On this album Anna Netrebko has a few stunning guests to partner with her: Elina Garanca for Offenbach's Barcarole, Andrew Swait for Andrew Lloyd Webber's “Pie Jesu” (Requiem), Piotr Beczala for Heuberger's “Im Chambre Séparée”. Stunningly talented, gorgeous and intelligent, Netrebko already has the music world at her feet making this one of THE albums of 2008, eagerly awaited by her legions of fans as well as all music lovers worldwide. Cap Box / Limited Edition: This will be the perfect Christmas gift package for the fans. It will have CD + booklet, bonus DVD, postcards and poster. A MUST HAVE! |

Amanda Roocroft (soprano) & Malcolm Martineau (piano) Recorded at Champs Hill, England April/July 2007 "If you are lucky, a song recitalist will take you to the edge of an inner world. A select few know how to draw you in further. And then there’s Amanda Roocroft. Her peachy soprano may be what we hear, but it is her heart that does the singing… This recital revealed Roocroft at the peak of her powers – a fully matured artist who combines technical and interpretative control with emotional freedom…. Such sincerity of feeling is only possible from someone who has lived a life. The striking quality about “None but the lonely heart” was the manner in which art concealed art – one of Roocroft’s golden charms. ..A rapturous “Ständchen”… impossible not to be swept along by “Heimliche Aufforderung”, and the ecstatic ardour of “Befreit” was overwhelming. Roocroft understands that the essence of the art song is not its outer beauty of form but its inner depth of feeling. She is a national treasure." (Financial Times on her 2007 recital - 25 May 2007) “A warm voice and an involved accompanist grace this enjoyable recital.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2008 “…there are certainly some five-star performances here - and Strauss's relatively unfamiliar 'Glückes genug' hints that she may make an Arabella of ideal candour and dignity.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2008 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
