Product DescriptionPolish baritone Mariusz Kwiecien has won over audiences in many of the world s greatest opera houses with his powerful interpretations (not to mention his rugged good looks). For his first solo recital recording and harmonia mundi début, Kwiecien employs his mellifluous and burnished voice to great effect in a fascinating selection of favorite Polish, Russian and Czech arias. The result is a winning collection of operatic gems, both familiar and rare. Kwiecien is accompanied by the Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Lukasz Borowicz on the first release from harmonia mundi s new production office in the United Kingdom.
