| Summary |
This new release is a fabulous selection of famous soprano arias, linked by the universal themes of love and humanity. Highlights include arias from popular operas by Puccini, Verdi, Wagner, Beethoven, Giordano, Cilea, and Barber. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with acclaimed conductor Grzegorz Nowak are joined for this new recording by versatile British spinto soprano Katerina Mina to celebrate the strong, determined, and spiritual heroines of these well-known operas. This album also includes the world premiere recording of two lyrical pieces by contemporary Swiss composer Stephan Hodel. Katerina Minas crystal clear voice exploited the acoustics of St. Jamess Piccadilly perfectly, soaring through the building, down the aisles and up to the high ceiling The singing was heavenly.
