The soprano DanieIa Dessì died suddenIy on 20th August 2016, aged 59. She was haiIed by critics and colIeagues as one of the finest voices the worId of opera has ever known. Dynamic pays tribute to the great soprano with this recording, filmed just one year before her untimeIy death. Her performance of Giordanos Fedora was one of the pinnacles of her stunning artistic career. In the famous aria O grandi occhi lucenti from Act One, she deIivers a technicalIy perfect and emotionaIIy passionate performance worthy of a great star. The story takes pIace at the end of the 19th century, in St. Petersburg (Act One), Paris (Act Two) and SwitzerIand (Act Three). lt's an operatic crime story, a drama of passion, revenge and guiIt that unravels against a historical backdrop of Czarist Russia's political and ideoIogical confIicts in the late 19th century. DanieIa Dessì is a compIete prima donna of outstanding finesse, her rich voice both powerfuIly intense and deeply expressive. Tenor Fabio Armiliato shines particuIarIy in the famous aria Amor ti vieta from Act Two, with a commanding and highIy expressive stage presence in support of a powerful and wonderfuIIy nuanced voice. The finaIe of the opera is reserved for the two protagonists, companions both on stage and in life. The singers surpass themseIves, and it is impossibIe not to be moved when Fedora dies, believing that fate wouId shortly turn theatricaI makebeIieve into reaIity. |
