The arias are taken from the body of Verdi operas which begins with \u003ci\u003eI Lombardi\u003c\/i\u003e (1843) and ends with \u003ci\u003eOtello\u003c\/i\u003e (1897) and give the star ample opportunity for varied display. So, while he might not be ready to tackle the entire role of \u003ci\u003eOtello\u003c\/i\u003e, he demonstrates wonderfully that some of the baritonal richness needed for the part is clearly in place in the recitative \"Dio, mi potevi scagliar\". And he has a thrilling shimmering quality to the top of his voice that makes a heroic aria like \"Di quella pira\" from \u003ci\u003eIl Trovatore\u003c\/i\u003e incredibly exciting. The selection demonstrates that though he as yet lacks the melting softness to make a declaration of longing such as \"Celeste Aida\" totally his own, he is awe-inspiring in the heroic, or anguished arias which he performs with a mesmerising focused intensity. Alagna is accompanied by superb playing from the Berlin Phil, which also gets one track to itself (the overture to \u003ci\u003eLa Forza del Destino\u003c\/i\u003e). And, as an added bonus, the booklet notes are entertaining and informative. --\u003ci\u003eWarwick Thompson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 724355656728\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0724355656728\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45939651969058,"sku":"HW-NISK-EXVA","price":3.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/51jUgtOMmfL.jpg?v=1783595648","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/fr\/products\/arias-3","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
