Notes & Reviews:

"It's about time Jennifer Larmore got a razzle-dazzle solo aria album from Opera Rara. After all, she's lent her bel canto expertise to their recordings of obscure works of Donizetti, Pacini and other and has courteously partnered various sopranos and tenors with her fine musicianship and stylish intelligence. With the spotlight finally centered on her, Larmore's performances on 'Bravura Diva' are sensational Maria Malibran and the other 19th century divas who created this music were singers of formidable musical and dramatic powers. Larmore here seems every bit their equal, bringing to life even the music of lesser composers such as Rossi and Costa with the same kind of stylistic certitude and vocal command that must have thrilled 19th century operagoers." - Judith Malafronte, Opera News
