Product description

DEC 466102 2; DECCA - Inghilterra;

Amazon.com

At first glance, this looks like another of those star turns in which a highly publicized singer tackles material calculated to broaden her appeal. But it's much more than that, for Angela Gheorghiu, in addition to possessing one of the great voices of our day, exhibits an affinity for most of the 15 selections on this highly attractive disc. She opens with Romanian Orthodox works that are compelling in their heartfelt simplicity. The rest of the program includes standards, like the Schubert Ave Maria, and traditional Christmas songs, such as "O Holy Night" and "Adeste fideles" (both gorgeously sung with a restraint that averts sentimentality), along with others ranging from the familiar to the seldom heard. One of these rarities is the high point of the disc: Niedermeyer's "Pieta, Signor," sung with spectacular intensity and boasting some thrilling trills. Gheorghiu's so good that this Christmas stocking stuffer becomes a disc for all seasons. --Dan Davis

This won't be as long or detailed or even knowledgable as the previous two reviews. Fortunately, they are both positive where it counts - Angela is well-named, has the voice of an angel. Soft, textury, intense, variegated as some of the yarns I love to knit!

I'm not sure if there could be a human being in the world who failed to appreciate and LOVE this CD. My whole heart adores listening to it!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best operatic voices I have enjoyed

One of the best operatic voices I have enjoyed. Angela is truly angelic here, as required by the songs on this album, and she achieves something transcendental and spiritually beautiful here. She does not over-sing the pieces but rather affords them all the grace and care they deserve.

5.0 out of 5 stars MM Georghiu at her est
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2010

This is a gem---first, the music from the liturgy of the Eastern Church is gorgeous, the arrangements and the choral support are beautiful, and she of course sings as if she owns the music, which of course she does. The tempos for O Holy Night and Adeste Fideles are too fast for my taste---she sort of marches thru them--the rest is exquisite.

I had sampled this CD previously and I liked what I heard. I think the recording was very well recorded and to me there were no surprises in the quality of this recording. The track listing was not worth 5 stars. I love this CD. If you're just discovering Angela Gheorghiu, this is a good start. Some people wrote here that Angela Gheorghiu reminds them of Maria Callas. I'm sure it's a flattering comparison to Angela Gheorghiu but I don't agree. Maria Callas had full voice with something special that no other soprano has at this time.

This is a magnificent, unusual recording by one of today's premier dramatic sopranos. Anyone who collects Ms Gheorghu's ercordings, should purchase this CD.

Angela Gheorghiu is one of those singers that has earned the right to be an insufferable diva. This is an enchanting departure from her operatic repertoire to sacred arias.

What a beautiful vocal instrument and so well placed. Interesting selection. Especially the Bach and the "Pietá Signore." Bought a few for Christmas gifts.

This is a most beautiful CD; the glorious voice of Angela Gheorgiu singing the most wonderful hymns especially those from her native Romania.
I have a copy of this CD and ordered it again as a gift for my sister who, like myself, loves Church Music.

Diese CD ist ein Geheimtipp, aber kennt jemand die Fortsetzung? Leider singt Frau Gheorghiu sonst nur Opern, oder? Bin für jeden Hinweis dankbar.

Miss Gheorghiu has given her all to this album. Very honest and heartfelt interpretations of a beautiful collection of sacred songs and arias. You can tell that this album meant a great deal to Miss Gheorghiu. The Romanian songs were exquisite and a real treat. The selection of songs and arias were very well chosen for the album. A must have for lovers of Miss Gheorghiu' magnificent voice.
