First ever 'Best of' from world's leading tenor
Showcasing the unique variety and quality of Kaufmann's award-winning recordings for Decca, this album contains some of the best-loved operatic repertoire and some of Kaufmann's greatest roles, conducted by masters such as Abbado, Pappano and Gardiner and recorded in resplendent Decca sound.
Central to the collection are the two great nineteenth-century operatic geniuses Verdi and Wagner, coinciding with their 200th anniversaries. Kaufmann is probably the only tenor able to sing both Italian and German opera with equal aplomb. It also features extracts from some of the greatest works in the operatic canon including arias by Puccini, Bizet and Mozart, as well as two recordings of Mascagni and Richard Strauss which are NEW TO CD. He is joined by Renée Fleming for the duet from Puccini's 'La Rondine'.
"The colour, the elegance and the sheer beauty of tone in his singing are truly exceptional" The Guardian
"the full range of his characterisation is well represented...perhaps the most impressive example of his ability to inhabit a role is in "Io l'ho perduta!", where his beautiful fading "Ahime!" in the closing line conveys all the wretched despair of Don Carlo's betrayal." (The Independent)
