Product Description
From Amazon.com
Here, a year after her sensational Metropolitan debut as Prokofiev’s Natasha from War and Peace, comes the debut solo recital album of 30-something soprano Anna Netrebko. She hails from southern Russia, and her emergence from the life of a conservatory student has a touch of the Cinderella tale—the bit, that is, about being discovered by Gergiev mopping floors for the Kirov as a part-time job and making her way into the Kirov's ranks. Later she became a favorite at San Francisco Opera, trying on for size a swath of comic and dramatic roles. Opera Arias parades Netrebko's way through a spectrum of vocal styles and characters. This mesmerizing lyric soprano engages--at times thrillingly grips--the listener with an imagination far greater than the disc's title (couldn't someone have dreamt up a less ridiculously bland handle?), but most significantly leaves an impression that the enterprise here isn't merely about singing. Netrebko's Ilia and Donna Anna are flesh-and-blood characters in real situations, as Mozart wanted them to be. The results are a bit more uneven with her bel canto heroines, where the required balance between Netrebko's emotional identification, so obviously a forte, and the musical phrasing thereof is a delicate one. Her shading of Lucia's mood swings, vocal and emotional, isn't consistently compelling. On the other hand, Netrebko uncovers gemlike facets not just in Gounod's "Jewel Song" but particularly in her stunning, passionately realized and beautifully phrased Manon (even if her trills disappoint). A shame that samples of her Russian repertory are missing here, though Netrebko's "Song to the Moon" from Dvorak's Rusalka concentrates and sets a mood with enviable mastery. Netrebko's musical intelligence and theatrical savvy seem destined to ensure her a magnificent career, so it's no surprise that many fans are already clamoring for more than the tease of an aria collection. --Thomas May

Good release but bad industry approach,
By Val (Middle-Of-Nowhere) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Opera Arias (Ss) (Audio CD)
Beautiful voice and performance, astonishing sound quality from SACD layer.Bad that it wasn't issued as an Universal DVD-Audio which can retain more different formats, including audiophile Hi-Res at 96/24 and could be accessible for more potential listeners due to the fact that an every average household already has DVD, Home Theater or Blue Ray system and the vehicle, with on-board factory supplied DVD system.

A Refreshing New Voice in the Russian Vein,
By
This review is from: Opera Arias (Audio CD)
Anna Netrebko is one of the many young singers gathering attention from the opera world. She is graced with physical beauty, acting skills, and a well-schooled voice. She sings beautifully and with intelligence. So what is missing? Perhaps it is the repertoire on this disc, or the miking, or the rush to get this recording on the market. But for all the positives there is a sameness in sound from aria to aria, beautiful as that sound is. There is also a tendency to spread the pitch on the high notes, a neglect of pianissimo, traits not unfamiliar in the Russian Opera Houses. These are not things that cannot change, and from the basic gifts of this young beauty, it would seem that they probably will. She is quite showy! Meanwhile, for an opera arias disc by a lyric soprano, this is a good one.

I Adore Anna Netrebko,
By Black Prince "micron7800" (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Opera Arias (Audio CD)
Rusalka: "Mesicku na nebli hlubokem" - DvorakLa Boheme: "Quando me'n vo' (Musette's Waltz)" - Puccini I listen to these two pieces incessantly......I watched her on German TV at the 300th Anniversary of the founding of St Petersburg........she has real presence and a serene and beautiful voice with range and power. I watched her being interviewed on German TV and she has a sparkling personality - if Russia can produce women like this it is going places, but I suspect women like Anna Netrebko are a rarity and so I shall treasure her !
