(Déjà Review) An ideal introduction to this delightful opera and also to the young Alagna [RH]

A welcome debut recital which promises much for the future of bel canto singing [MP]

A magnificent full-size portrait of a truly great bel canto artist [GF]

Another impressive release by the Donizetti Opera festival, uncut and on original instruments [RWe]

A delight from start to finish [MC]
