Jonas Kaufmann (tenor), Kristine Opolais (soprano)
Orchestra e Coro dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Antonio Pappano

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…

Opera Arias
Elsa Dreisig (soprano), Orchestre national Montpellier Occitanie Pyrénées Méditerranée, Michael Schønwandt

RecommendedAngela Gheorghiu (Butterfly), Jonas Kaufmann (Pinkerton), Enkelejda Shkosa (Suzuki), Fabio Capitanucci (Sharpless), Gregory Bonfatti (Goro) & Raymond Aceto (Bonzo)
Orchestra e Coro dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Antonio Pappano

Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Sir Antonio Pappano (conductor), Jonathan Kent (director)
Pappano's mastery of Puccinian pace and phrasing intensifies this turbulent score's onward surge, but he's also noticeable attentive to his singers...[Kaufmann's] cries of 'Vittoria!' are thrilling...and... — More…
