Mozart: Opera & Concert Arias is the first recital disc made for Virgin Classics by young Latvian mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca. She is partnered in an interesting program of 10 Mozart arias by the Camerata Salzburg under Louis Langrée encompassing pieces drawn from La finta giardinera, La Clemenza di Tito, and Cosí fan tutte, the last-named being a ...
After discs for Ondine and Virgin, Latvian mezzo soprano Elina Garanca made her Deutsche Grammophon debut in late 2006 with this disc called Aria Cantilena after the first movement of Villa-Lobos' Bachianas brasileiras No. 5. For the most part, the then-30-year-old Garanca stuck with the lighter end of the French and Italian repertoire -- Massenet ...

Entitled Mozart Jubileum, this Ondine disc is a sort of Baltic Mozart's greatest hits compiled from six earlier releases on the Finnish label Ondine.

She gives this repertoire the same focus, interpretive eloquence, and vocal brilliance that she brings to more "serious" material. Netrebko is notable for the absolute purity ...
Classical Love Songs is a compilation album that delivers exactly what its title implies, and it does so beautifully. It's notable for a number of admirable attributes.
