About
Signum Classics are proud to present superstar soprano Angela Gheorghiu’s first album on the Grammy-award winning label. Described as “the world’s most glamorous and gifted opera star” (New York Sun), Ms Gheorghiu’s magnificent voice and dazzling stage presence have established her as a unique international opera superstar. Her new album, released to mark the 100th anniversary of Giacomo Puccini’s death, brings together a collection of little-known songs spanning his entire career. The album features a world premiere recording of the recently rediscovered song “Melanconia”. It also includes songs that Puccini used as inspiration in his famous operas, such as “Sole e amore”, “Mentia l’avviso”, “Sogno d’or” and “Morire?”. Other notable works on the recording are “Salve Regina” and the title track “A te” composed by Puccini at just 16 years old.

Gheorghiu’s dramatic conviction and the rich, blooming tone for which her voice is well known are still there in abundance, allowing her to give a meaningful and deeply expressive performance of this enjoyable body of music .

Pitch is iffy and climactic notes go haywire but the Gheorghiu charisma, at the age of 58, is palpable in her tone and long-cultivated Puccinian style, especially in her beautifully moulded quiet endings.
