Description:

[Best Classics 100 Poles (97)] Everyone has been waiting for this Puccini album by Jonas Kaufmann. Kaufmann's repertoire includes many of Puccini's operatic roles, but this is the only album of arias from all of Puccini's operas. As Kaufman himself says, "I recorded this album to trace the development of Puccini's operas from his first opera, 'Edgar', to his last opera, 'Turandot'. The album is full of Puccini's famous arias and duets, including the popular "Nobody Must Sleep" and other hit Puccini melodies. The orchestral part, which is performed with great enthusiasm by the Orchestra Nazionale di Santa Cecilia of Rome conducted by Antonio Pappano, a master conductor who has performed and recorded with Kaufman many times, also accompanies Kaufman perfectly. Ultra high-fidelity HiFi CD with Oto-Sumo label.
