Angela Gheorghiu - The Essential Collection
Angela Gheorghiu - The Essential Collection (Decca 473 320-2)

Label: Decca Cat. No.: 473 320-2 Medium: CD No. Discs: 1

A tribute to a hugely popular star with a high media profile - and an important new addition to the classical vocal catalogue.

It was nearly ten years ago (in 1994) that Romanian soprano Angela Gheorghiu shot to international stardom overnight with her sensational performance in Verdi's La Traviata at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden under the baton of the great Sir Georg Solti.

That performance, recorded by Decca (and always among the best selling CDs and DVDs) launched a spectacular international career in the leading opera houses of the world and a major recording contract with Decca during which Angela Gheorghiu recorded many solo recitals and complete operas.

Loved for the dark beauty of her voice, her dramatic commitment and her truly operatic rise to fame, Angela Gheorghiu is now among the most high profile classical musicians in the World.

This new collection of Angela Gheorghiu's greatest recordings includes all her signature roles - Adina in Donizetti's L'elisir D'amore with her husband, tenor Roberto Alagna, Mimi in Puccini's La Boheme, several of her great French roles and, of course, Violetta in Verdi's La Traviata.

As well as opera arias and duets the disc also includes an excerpt from Faure's Requiem and the song Muzica which Angela Gheorghiu often sings as a hugely popular encore, as she did at the 2003 Last Night of the Proms.

Artists: Angela Gheorghiu (soprano).
