For lovers of bel canto opera and coloratura singing, this CD will be a valuable addition to your collection of operatic music. The lovely selections of rare bel canto arias by contemporaries of Rossini feature music by Donizetti, Fioravanti, Mercadante, Ricci, Pacini, and Vaccai.
Soprano Elinor Amlen brings her dazzling coloratura technique, lyrical line, and artistry to each of these wonderful arias. With the sensitive collaboration of pianist Mayne Miller, these neglected gems of early nineteenth century vocal music are brought to life.
