Elīna Garanča (mezzo) Filarmonica del Teatro Comunale di Bologna, Yves Abel

Berlioz: D'amour l'ardente flamme (from La damnation de Faust) Donizetti: L'ai-je bien entendu?… O mon Fernand (from La Favorite) Gounod: Ô ma lyre immortelle (from Sapho) Faites- lui mes aveux (from Faust) Plus grand dans son obscurité (from La Reine de Saba) Lalo: De tous côtes j'apercois...Lorsque je t'ai vu soudain (from Le Roi d'Ys) Saint-Saëns: Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix (from Samson et Dalila) Tchaikovsky: Da, chas nastal!

In Romantique, Elīna Garanča makes a smashing return to the studio and puts her imprint upon the big Romantic repertory, brilliantly portraying such different heroines as Tchaikovsky’s Joan of Arc (The Maid of Orléans), Gounod’s Sapho and Saint-Saëns’ Dalila Elīna Garanča’s mezzo-soprano is velvet; she is a stunning figure on stage; her formidable technique encompasses repertoire from Mozart and bel canto to dramatic roles and contemporary music Conductor Yves Abel’s penchant for the voice and skill at leading an orchestra draws beautiful sound and potent drama from the Filarmonica del Teatro Comunale di Bologna. Elīna Garanča’s rapport with this orchestra is deeper than ever.
