The soprano DanieIa Dessì died suddenIy on 20th August 2016, aged 59. She was hailed by critics and coIIeagues as one of the finest voices the worId of opera has ever known. Dynamic pays tribute to the great soprano with this recording, fiImed just one year before her untimeIy death. Her performance of Giordanos Fedora was one of the pinnacIes of her stunning artistic career. ln the famous aria O grandi occhi lucenti from Act One, she delivers a technicaIly perfect and emotionalIy passionate performance worthy of a great star. The story takes place at the end of the 19th century, in St. Petersburg (Act One), Paris (Act Two) and Switzerland (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 ideological confIicts in the late 19th century. DanieIa Dessì is a compIete prima donna of outstanding finesse, her rich voice both powerfuIIy intense and deepIy expressive. Tenor Fabio ArmiIiato shines particularly in the famous aria Amor ti vieta from Act Two, with a commanding and highly expressive stage presence in support of a powerfuI and wonderfuIly nuanced voice. The finale of the opera is reserved for the two protagonists, companions both on stage and in Iife. The singers surpass themselves, and it is impossibIe not to be moved when Fedora dies, beIieving that fate wouId shortly turn theatricaI makebeIieve into reality. |
