4.0 out of 5 stars neglected bel canto, May 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Yvonne Kenny - 19th Century Heroines (Audio CD)

Gorgeous arias, with beautiful melodies and incredible cascades of notes. OK, the singer has some troubles with some high notes but even so I had the best of funs listening to this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simplesmente perfeita, April 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Yvonne Kenny - 19th Century Heroines (Audio CD)

Yvonne Kenny, neste CD, está simplesmente perfeita. Suas interpretações de Meyerbeer e Donizetti são ótimas, mas sua Gabriella di Vergi é surpreendente. Cantando uma ópera que à sua estréia foi um fracasso, ela não só a capacita a voltar ao repertório como realiza uma interpretação definitiva da personagem (com uma " pathos" indescritível);e que nos faz sonhar com uma interpretação sua de Lucia Di Lammermoor.

I cannot imagine a more sublime, a more gorgeous, a more appealing, a more touching, a more perfectly beautiful, 'attempt' at opera. A triumph and a delight. Brava, Yvonne mia.
