Planet Hugill says of Lawrence Brownlee’s Virtuoso Rossini Arias, “Listen and be dazzled.”
“The arias are all, needless to say virtuoso. After all Rossini was writing for some of the greatest singers of the day. Rossini was in fact quite sparing in his use of arias, generally duos, trios and ensembles dominate his operas. … Brownlee has a brilliantly vibrant voice, and in some ways it has always seemed surprising that he combines such a high tension instrument with the technique and dexterity needed for these bravura arias. But combine it he does, and very stylishly. … Brownlee is well supported by Orbelian and the Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra, and there are some lovely orchestral moments and fine instrumental solos. The CD booklet comes with full notes, texts and translations. This is an impressive disc and showcases Brownlee’s incredible technique. …his command of the notes and the style is quite stunning. Listen and be dazzled.” —Robert Hugill, Planet Hugill
