Puccini, Giacomo - A te, Puccini - Gheorghiu, Angela

Signum Classics is proud to present superstar soprano Angela Gheorghiu's first album on the Grammy Award-winning label. Described as "the world's most brilliant and gifted opera star" (New York Sun), Gheorghiu's magnificent voice and dazzling stage presence have made her a unique international opera superstar. Her new album, released in honor of the 100th anniversary of the death of celebrated composer Giacomo Puccini, brings together a collection of little-known songs from throughout her career. The album includes the world premiere recording of the recently rediscovered song "Melanconia." It also includes songs that Puccini used as inspiration for his famous operas, such as "Sole e amore," "Mentia l'avviso," "Sogno d'or," and "Morire?" Other notable works on the album include "Salve Regina" and the title track "A te," which Puccini composed when he was only 16 years old.
