Songs of Love - Italian Love Songs by Bellini, Puccini, Tosti, Donizetti et al. / Anna Leese, soprano; Stephen De Pledge, piano

Notes & Reviews:

Anna Leese and Stephen de Pledge perform Italian Love Songs by Bellini, Puccini, Donizetti and Tosti. These elegant pieces for solo voice, some well known, others less so, connect directly with a rich and substantial body of Italian art songs, romanze and liriche da camera, composed over the course of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
