Search - Angela Gheorghiu :: Autograph [8CD + 1DVD]

Drawing on the EMI, Erato and Teldec catalogues, each Autograph box focuses on a single artist, providing a biographical panorama of his or her career through a series of thematically programmed CDs and fascinating documentation. Each collection is devised in collaboration with the artist in question, who also features in a specially-recorded exclusive interview. Illustrated with musical extracts to illuminate the artist's life and work, the interviews are conducted by the distinguished journalist and broadcaster Jon Tolansky. This collection showcases Gheorghiu's art in a broad repertoire from the Baroque to the 20th century, including arias from many roles she has not sung on stage. The 8 CDs also feature several of her most important stage roles, including Violetta (La traviata), Mimì (La bohème), Tosca, Magda (La rondine), Adriana Lecouvreur, Amelia (Simon Boccanegra) and Marguerite (Faust). Also included are a number of songs by composers from Gheorghiu's native Romania.
