AIGUL
RecommendedAigul Akhmetshina (mezzo), Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Daniele Rustioni; with Freddie De Tommaso (tenor), Elisabeth Boudreault (soprano), Kezia Bienek (mezzo)
She is surely vocally ideal for [Carmen], offering both character and taste in numbers that can sound overblown, or even clichéd. Instead, Akhmetshina supplies delicacy and grace, though she... — More…

RecommendedJean-Efflam Bavouzet (piano)

Special offer. Anima Rara
RecommendedErmonela Jaho (soprano), Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana, Andrea Battistoni
She has a slender tone, definitely more lyric than spinto, and is often so deeply invested in her role that it’s not always a very ‘pretty’ sound. Yet it’s exactly these qualities that are her... — More…
