Description
This album was released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Agnieszka Kurowska's artistic career - a long-time soloist and beautifully shimmering star of the Warsaw Chamber Opera. Her soprano, familiar to opera lovers, was unfailing in both light, coloratura roles and dramatic ones. The album features archival recordings from Warsaw Chamber Opera performances, as well as those featuring the Poznan Grand Theatre Orchestra and the Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra. It features a selection of the most beautiful, famous arias and duets from operas by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Gioachino Rossini. Donna Anna, Donna Elvira, Giunia, Elettra, Fiorilla, the Countess, and Semiramide - a gallery of compelling and temperamental characters. The album also features other wonderful voices, including Ewa Podles. The live recordings possess the charm of spontaneous creation, allowing the listener to experience the unique atmosphere of premiere performances.
