메조소프라노 조이스 디도나토가 이탈리아 오페라 작곡가들의 벨칸토 아리아로 돌아왔다.
부드러운 음색과 힘이 넘치는 발성으로 비교적 덜 알려진 작품들을 만나게 되는데, 그렇다해도 조이스 디도나토의 강렬한 콜로라투라 비브라토를 듣는 순간 깊이 빠져들어 도저히 헤어나올 수 없게 될 것이다.

Presto Classical, Katherine Cooper, 25th August 2014
“The sole Rossini aria, Zelmira’s imperious ‘Riedi al soglio’, also provides vocal thrills aplenty ? but for the most part, this disc is more about long-breathed melodies and plangent laments than it is about pyrotechnics...A must for all fans of DiDonato, and well worth exploring for anyone who fancies an enthusiastic, committed guide to the highways and byways of bel canto.”
The Times, 29th August 2014 *****
“this luscious collection of Italian bel canto opera arias presents the incandescent DiDonato on top form, the creamy tones effortlessly whipped into endless, kaleidoscopic threads of melody...Riccardo Minasi and the Orchestra of the Opera National de Lyon bring their own pleasures with flute, harp and clarinet solos beautifully enhancing diaphanous textures.”
The Observer, 1st August 2014 ****
“They allow this adored US mezzo to display her dizzying technical virtuosity, her acting skills and her extravagant sense of drama. The Opera de Lyon orchestra give characterful support...You may think bel canto recital discs are not your thing. Let Joyce DiDonato convince you otherwise. She did me.”
Daily Telegraph, 18th October 2014
“DiDonato seems to have brought the performance and interpretation of the Italian bel canto repertoire to new heights, combining absolute technical security, intense but unmannered musicality, a beguiling range of colour and bell-like clarity of tone at a pitch of artistry that not even her nearest rival, Cecilia Bartoli, can match...This must surely rank as one of the greatest vocal recitals in recorded history.”
BBC Music Magazine, December 2014 *****
“everyone who cares about singing should promote it immediately to the top of their letters to Santa. Creamy, sumptuous, almost flawless - every adjective may be a cliche, but how else to describe singing of this quality?”
Gramophone Magazine, November 2014
“warm tone, perfect control, a deeply sympathetic portrayal [of Maria Stuarda]. The finale of Zelmira provides DiDonato with the opportunity of showing off her brilliantly executed coloratura, while her mezza voce at the start of Romeo's farewell to the supposedly dead Juliet in Bellini's opera is sustained to perfection.”
1-1. Pacini : Stella Di Napoli, Part I: "Ove T'Aggiri, O Barbaro" (Stella, Marta)
19세기 초 이탈리아의 오페라부파에서 오페라세리아로의 전환점에 위치하는 작곡가로 그의 오페라는 오페라부파에서 오페라세리아의 걸작에 이르기까지 폭넓은 내용을 지니고 있다. 초기의 작품을 빼면 유창하고 아름다운 선율과 적절한 극적 효과를 지녔고 이는 빈약한 관현악법과 대본의 평범함을 보완해준다.
