Description:

Pappano, a new recording of Santa Cecilia! A masterful requiem featuring star singers and a gorgeous, much-talked-about recording. Pappano's personality brings out the best in his singers" (Times Concert Review), and now the critically acclaimed live performance is finally available. Following the critically acclaimed "Madama Butterfly" (CDS-2641872), this is a new recording with the orchestra and chorus of Santa Cecilia, of which Pappano is music director. This spectacular Verdi work, with star singers as soloists, has resulted in a glowing live recording that meets exciting expectations. German-born Halteros, winner of the 1999 BBC Cardiff World Singers Competition, has recently received rave reviews for her performance of Violetta in La Traviata with Kaufmann and Keenlyside at the Bavarian Opera. Italian mezzo Ganassi is a familiar face on the world opera and concert stage.With top German bass Perpe (also featured in Pappano's "Tristan und Isolde" (CDS-5580062)), the very popular star tenor Villazon, and an all-star cast of singers, a new definitive recording of Verdi's Requiem dramatically conveys the Italian's passionate feelings for the divine. The new definitive recording of Verdi's Requiem is now available. ［Comment courtesy of EMI Music Japan.
