Title: wonderful, of course
Product review: On the heels of Genaux's splendid "Arias for Farinelli" album, comes this much anticipated and carefully crafted selection of bel canto arias. While her voice is absolutely spectacular for alto repertoire, it's amazingly capable of "shifting gears" into lyric mezzo soprano clef. You're bound to notice this right away. The approach is simple and elegant, blissfully free of any mannerisms or fussiness. The same can be for characterizations. This is early bel canto, so there's no need for "Lucia"'s passions. A listener can simply revel in the beauty of the music without a single moment of distraction. And the album ends with one of the most delightful renditions of too-well-known "Una voce poco fa" on record. This Alaskan native is quickly becoming the leading mezzo of today. Don't miss.
