ITALIAN OPERATIC ARIAS

with The Royal Opera House Orchestra conducted by Edward Downes o SXL 6075 GI LXT 6075

'Here is a lovely record and the best thing the distinguished French soprano has yet given us.'

THE GRAMOPHONE

'Here we have seven of the most famom lyric/dramatic soprano roles in opera and to each of them the singer brings an individual warmth that goes far beyond standard interpretation. I recommend this disc very highly to connoisseurs who like their Italian opera to be musical as well as dramatic-who value spacious phrasing more than stentorian high notes and subtle characterisation more than mere animal exuberance.'
