Taking its title, Nessun Dorma, from the greatest tenor hit of them all, Pene Pati’s second album balances favorite numbers with operatic rarities – two of them in world premiere recordings. Joining the Samoan tenor on the album are his soprano wife, Amina Edris, his tenor brother Amitai Pati, conductor Emmanuel Villaume, the Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine, and the Choeur de l`Opéra National de Bordeaux. 

In the words of the Telegraph, Pene Pati possesses an “extraordinary gift for producing a golden thread of sound that can swell without strain to magnificence,” while Opera magazine has lauded his “distinctively clear, marvelously sunny timbre, innate musicality and exceptionally vivid textual projection.” For the tenor himself, Nessun Dorma “showcases my love of the art of storytelling and the emotions it can elicit... As you listen to the album, I hope it takes you on an emotional journey.”
