Eternamente (Verismo arias)

Eternamente (Verismo arias)

ForEternamente, her first studio recording in six years, soprano Angela Gheorghiu focuses on Italian composers of the generation that followed Verdi and predominantly on repertoire she has not sung before â€“ including some fascinating rarities. Joining her for duets from Mascagniâ€™sCavalleria rusticanaand Giordanoâ€™sAndrea ChÃ©nieris another star of todayâ€™s opera stage, tenor Joseph Calleja.Eternamenteis described as a collection ofverismoâ€“ the term used generically for Italian opera of the immediate post-Verdi era. No matter when they were composed, and no matter what their subject matter, all these operas demand great passion and commitment from their performers â€“ and they get it from Angela Gheorghiu. â€œIt is like my soul, it is something different, it is not the voice,â€ she explained in an interview with Opera magazine. â€œThe voice is also there, it has to be there, and it has had to be prepared â€“ but at that moment of the performance, there is more. The response is never a conscious exaggeration â€“ it is a natural expression. I am never pretending. It is just how I am at that moment.â€ The character and impact of her voice was summarised thus in Gramophone: â€œWith her smooth and dark-toned soprano, a voice at once powerfully firm and vulnerable, Gheorghiu stands out from an entire generation of talented singers. Her sound is convincingly Italianate in the great tradition; her voice, once heard, is never forgotten.â€
