Release Date: Sunday 16 February 2014

Combining rare acting ability with peerless lyricism and radiance of tone, Kiri Te Kanawa is one of opera's most celebrated contemporary figures. This four-disc set presents a selection of her favourite roles and art songs; drawing on music of the 19th and 20th centuries, it includes some of the acclaimed soprano's most famous character portrayals and offers a tantalising glimpse of operatic might-have-beens.

"This is a Puccini disc with a difference. Besides the usual operatic excerpts, it includes three Puccini songs songs of which one, Sole e amore, is particularly enticing" Penguin Guide on the Puccini excerpts
