MusicWeb International reviews the Verdi: Messa da Requiem Concert DVD: “…set in a magnificent venue with an excellent acoustic well caught by the engineers. … Yuri Temirkanov draws sensitive, yet, at appropriate moments, highly dramatic, playing from his orchestra. The variation between the opening, hushed Requiem aeternam and the vibrant Dies irae, is visceral in its emotion and feeling.…

Order Now “…it’s superb. Roberto Rizzi Brignoli’s firm yet flexible conducting keeps things moving while giving the vocal and orchestral climaxes their head. Dinara Alieva, the Magda, has a rich, authoritative soprano: she displays a nice conversational immediacy in the midrange and offers full-throated, sweeping climaxes; quieter phrases have lovely spin and float. Charles Castronovo,…
“Tenor Rolando Villazón turns his hand to opera direction in this production, new to the Deutsche Oper Berlin last year.… Villazón shows admirable restraint in a straightforward, stylish production that contains a good deal of charm.… The Azerbaijani soprano Dinara Alieva…[has] a rich darkness to her voice, especially in Doretta’s Dream, but there is also…
“The singing! My heavens, I thought such unabashed, full-throttle verismo emotionalism had died with the 1950s! Dinara Alieva has a wonderfully opulent soprano, a true spinto with seemingly limitless power and an absolutely free top; she could tackle any Verdi or Puccini role that comes to mind… But she knows how to rein it in…
ResMusica has fallen in love with soprano Dinara Alieva in our new DVD/Blu-Ray release La Rondine: “As Magda, the young Azerbaijani Dinara Alieva is a veritable revelation. With a perfect and creamy soprano, she delivered an “acute” (accurate) and sublime pianissimo, just as it should be. She is also a convincing actress, who is invested…

Pre-Order One finds Puccini’s Tosca, La Bohème, Madama Butterfly, and Turandot on the schedules of almost all opera houses. By contrast, La Rondine is one of the most seldom performed of his works. Puccini was originally asked to compose an operetta, and – indeed – he began to compose the work with that in mind.…
