Remarks:

In this personal selection of masterpieces, Elina Garanca balances familiar numbers and ensembles with little known treasures by Bellini, Donizetti and Rossini, riding vocal acrobatics and spun out melodies through an emotional spectrum to unforgettable effect. Her new disc, 'Bel Canto' has been a long time coming. Elina personally selected many of the pieces on this disc, carefully choosing which music would best suit her velvety mezzo-soprano voice. "There is so much absolutely gorgeous music from these composers that we don't know" she comments.
 

Notes:

In assembling the arias in BEL CANTO, Elina Garanca , the Latvian mezzo-soprano who has won rave reviews for the beauty and agility of her voice, spent considerable time poring over manuscripts and scores of operas by the greatest bel canto composers, Gaetano Donizetti, Vincenzo Belliini, and Gioacchino Rossini. Garanca picked the resulting selections for their depth of character portrayal and suitability to her voice. Arias from off-the-beaten-path operas like Donizetti's L'ASSEDIO DI CALAIS and DOM SEBASTIAN, and Bellini's ADELSON E SALVINI rub shoulders with more familiar offerings from these composers, and they showcase her dramatic flair to full effect. Claudio Abbado directs the Bologna Teatro Comunale Orchestra and Choir.
