Sonya Yoncheva - The Verdi Album
Sonya Yoncheva (soprano) / Munich Radio Symphony Orchestra, Massimo Zanetti
[ Sony Music / CD ]
Release Date: Thursday 8 February 2018
Soprano Sonya Yoncheva has dedicated her latest release to the music of Verdi. This album includes arias ranging from Verdi's most celebrated works-including Don Carlo and Otello- to some lesser-known gems. Sonya commences her European tour with Verdi repertoire in February. Sonya has already received outstanding reviews for her interpretation of Verdi's roles. The New York Times said of her performance of Desdemona "Her Desdemona shows why she is looking towards a major career". "Yoncheva is a force of nature" - BBC Music Magazine
"She certainly has a go at just about everything, ranging from the delicacy of Desdemona's 'Ave Maria', to the wilder grief of the Forza Leonora's 'Pace! Pace, mio Dio!' Perhaps best are the musings of Amelia Boccanegra, which sit perfectly within the size and range of her voice. Massimo Zanetti's conducting is spacious and supportive, and he makes much of the introductions to the Boccanegra and Don Carlo arias." OperaNow
"'Salgo già del trono aurato' is thrilling, even if the final top note spreads. She's also a touching Leonora in Il trovatore…That slight burr in the tone that Eastern European sopranos produce and a fearless attack is much in evidence in arias from Stiffelio and Simon Boccanegra. What is missing here and elsewhere is any sense of character." BBC Music
