Garanca Sings Mozart and Vivaldi
Audio CD (June 9, 2017)
Number of Discs: 1
Label: Warner Classics/Parlophone

Richly colourful in Mozart and Vivaldi: Her velvety, versatile timbre makes mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca one of the outstanding singers of the present day, of that there can be no doubt. She followed up her international breakthrough at the Salzburg Festival with two celebrated CD releases in 2005 that laid the foundation of her rich discography: a Mozart recital and the world premiere of Vivaldi’s opera Bajazet. The present album combines the loveliest moments from these recordings.
