Inmiddels heeft Anna Netrebko een groot aantal operarollen op haar naam, met voor velen als hoogtepunt haar vertolking van Violetta in Verdi’s La traviata. Vijf jaar na haar vorige soloalbum eert zij de Italiaanse componist die tweehonderd jaar geleden werd geboren met een indrukwekkend album met aria’s uit Il Trovatore, I vespri siciliani, Don Carlo en Giovanna dArco, opera’s waarmee ze nog niet op de planken stond en Macbeth. Netrobko’s Lady MacBeth opent het album en maakt gelijk indruk. Haar stem is de laatste jaren rijper geworden en mede door haar inlevingsvermogen en ervaring krijgen deze aria’s een prachtige diepgang, waarbij technische perfectie niet op de eerste plaats hoeft te staan, zoals Netrebko vertelt op de dvd die op luxe editie als bonus is toegevoegd. Aanrader.

Anna Netrebko (soprano)
Orchestra Teatro Regio Torino, Gianandrea Noseda
Already one of the most anticipated classical albums of 2013, this sumptuous, all-Verdi programme is Anna’s heartfelt birthday tribute to the master of Italian grand opera, with selections from Il Trovatore, Macbeth, I vespri siciliani, Don Carlo and Giovanna d’Arco. Music of emotion, power and extraordinary drama – personally selected and performed by the best-selling soprano of the 21st century. 2013 marks Anna’s ten years as a solo performer, and ten years with Deutsche Grammophon. It’s Netrebko’s first solo album in over five years, from the best-selling soprano of the 21st century.
Crowned “the Violetta of our age” (Financial Times), Netrebko is the undisputed superstar – “la prima donna assoluta” (New York Post) – of opera today.
Netrebko lays claim to the tragic repertoire of Italian grand opera: “Already celebrated for her glamorous face and voice, the fiery Russian-born diva has developed into a great tragic performer.” (New York Post)
A decade on from the award-winning Opera Arias, Anna reunites with specialist Verdi conductor Gianandrea Noseda to continue this extraordinary musical journey.
