NotesAfter years of singing Giacomo Puccini's heroes on stage to vast critical and audience acclaim, "the world's greatest tenor"(The Daily Telegraph), Jonas Kaufmann, finally records an album entirely devoted to the world's most-loved opera composer. The 2015 album, Nessun dorma is a selection of Puccini's stupendous tenor arias drawn from his greatest opera's including Tosca, Manon Lescaut, La Bohème, Madame Butterfly and La fanciulla del West. Spanning the breadth of Puccini's output from the early operas Le Villi and Edgar, the album culminates in the mighty aria "Nessun dorma" from his final opera Turandot. Jonas Kaufmann is joined on this album by Maestro Antonio Pappano, the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and soprano Kristine Opolais. Munich-born singer, Jonas Kaufmann, is without a doubt at the absolute top echelon of the operatic world. He is in extreme demand with the world's most influential conductors, selling out opera houses and concert venues months in advance wherever he performs.
Cheers! An astonishing performance by one of the greatest. Puccini tenors of all time. Jonas sings with incredible beauty of tone, great dramatic power and masterful interpretation. He is musically impeccable and brilliantly accompanied by. Maestro. Antonio. Pappano. This is a recording to cherish. It includes rarely heard arias from. Le. Villi and. Edgar as well as thrilling popular. Puccini. Jonas at his incomparable best !! Luv, diana
This is a collection of tenor arias from Puccini operas. It's a good variety and spans the majority of Puccini's work. The production values are good. The voice of Kaufman is suited for Puccini. His voice has some baritone leaning qualities which are not found in the majority of tenors. His voice isn't as forward and clear as Pavarotti. But it is a wonderful voice. An album worthy of anyone's collection.
