Toamna se numara (mezzo)sopranele!...
Pe 15 septembrie a fost lansata, la Deutsche Grammophon, noua colectie de interpretari dupa lucrari clasice a mezzo-sopranei letone
Elina Garanca, purtand denumirea de
"Meditation".
Din cuprins, lucrari de Gounod, Mascagni, Mozart, Bizet, Gomez, Puccini si altii. Albumul se ridica la inaltimea asteptarilor, presa aducand elogii minunatei soliste.
This is the latest album from the superb Latvian mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca -- a peaceful and very personal selection of music from her homeland, in which she is ably supported by the renowned Latvian Radio Choir . . . Garanca has a creamy, rich voice which imbues every phrase with feeling and subtlety. The blending of traditional Latvian spiritual music with opera works well and this album should reinforce her position as one of today's outstanding voices and performers.

Cecilia Bartoli, cu un proiect interesant, intitulat
"St. Petersburg", lansat la Decca, ce exploreaza frumusetea muzicii baroce din perioada Rusiei Tariste, cu lucrari interpretate in acei ani la curtea celor trei Tarine: Anna, Elizabeta si Ekaterina cea Mare.
For the very first time Cecilia Bartoli explores the Baroque musical treasures of Tsarist Russia with music from the court of three 18th century Tsaristas: Anna, Elizabeth and Catherine the Great. With music written by Italian and German composers working for the Russian court, this album sheds new light on an incredible and momentous time for Russia, shaping its politics and culture towards the enlightened West.
Mostly sung in Italian, the album also offers the first opportunity to hear Bartoli sing in Russian. The music has been intricately researched by Cecilia herself, unlocking the archives of St Petersburg’s Mariinsky Library to uncover music lost for over 200 years. The new recording reunites Bartoli with Baroque specialists Diego Fasolis & I Barocchisti.
Iar pe 17 noiembrie, Decca lanseaza inca un titlu (
"Home Sweet Home"), apartinand frumoasei mezzo-soprane galeze
