Notes & Reviews:

"Roberto Alagna concentrates solely on the work of bel canto masters Donizetti and Bellini. These are composers who foreground vocal timbre and rely on highly decorated melodies to propel their dramas. Alagna's voice is therefore placed under a rather harsh spotlight, with none of the carefully wrought orchestral effects of complex harmonies of Verdi and Puccini (his more usual operatic territory) to support him. Generally, he succeeds beautifully and produces some rich, varied singing with a burnished heroic edge." -Warwick Thompson

Notes & Reviews:

Selections recorded September and October 1999 at EMI Abbey Road Studio no. 1, London and May 2001 at Lyndhurst Hall, Air Studios, London, England.
