Angela Gheorghiu - The Making of "Homage to Maria Callas"

NEW ALBUM AVAILABLE HERE: http://links.emi.com/homagetocallas .... Angela Gheorghiu, the defining diva of the 21st century, releases 'Homage to Maria Callas'.

An Homage to Maria Callas featuring stunning new recordings of favourite arias from La Bohème, La Traviata, La Wally, and many more...

'Homage to Maria Callas' is a collection of beloved French and Italian operatic masterpieces performed by Angela Gheorghiu, the defining diva of this century. The programme is inspired by the career and recordings of Maria Callas, the greatest diva of the last century. The arias are shared favourites of both Callas and Gheorghiu, and Angela's new recording demonstrates once again her extraordinary vocal and emotional range.

Angela Gheorghiu said recently, "Callas was original in everything she did; she was a phenomenon. In every performance she gave her all. She was the most wonderful painter and you can always hear exactly the right colour in her voice. Just hearing her sound, you understand all the power or fragility of her emotions. That's a rare talent and a great gift." Gheorghiu continued, "EMI was her record label and it's mine too. It feels like a family".

Recorded at London's iconic Abbey Road Studios in London and in New York, the repertoire of Gheorghiu's first studio recital in six years (during which time she recorded several complete operas, including a multi-award-winning Madama Butterfly), shows her versatility in lyric, spinto and mezzo roles, with each of which she feels a strong emotional connection.

Maria Callas and Angela Gheorghiu are the greatest opera singers ever! Gheorghiu is the Callas of our generation! I'm so happy she made this album!!!

[nickmollee]

is it me or has gheorghiu learnt a thing or two by studying callas' technique? it is as if she is more mature, more accomplished than ever and the added drama certainly fits her personality.
