About
Decca is already honouring the occasion of Carlo Bergonzi's 90th birthday in grand catalogue style with a special 17CD commemorative box – The Verdi Tenor – which includes all his best-known Verdi recordings.
But for those who would prefer to enjoy Bergonzi at his best in a more compact compilation format, this re-issue of the successful 2-CD set 'The Sublime Voice', is the perfect aperitif for discovering and celebrating this great voice.
The compilation includes 40 popular operatic aria and scenes from the Decca and Deutsche Grammophon catalogues. All Bergonzi’s ‘greatest hits’ are here. Puccini is represented with five tracks from La Bohème and four from Madama Butterfly plus the sublime tenor aria from Tosca, ‘E lucevan le stelle’.
But as it is Verdi whose name is synonymous with Bergonzi, in this compilation all the key operas are well represented, with several excerpts from Rigoletto, Un Ballo in Maschera, La traviata and Il trovatore.
Throughout the compilation, Bergonzi's imperious partners include Renata Tebaldi, Birgit Nilsson, Joan Sutherland, Fiorenza Cossotto and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.
“Bergonzi is an essential, and this two-CD set is like a box of luxury-class chocolates.” - Classical.net
