Young soprano Rosa Feola captured international attention as a treble prize-winner at the Plácido Domingo World Opera Competition (2010). Attributed 'blazing star potential' for her sensitive phrasing and imaginative colouring of words (Telegraph), she brings her feel for text to this celebration of music and Italian poetry, in which master orchestrator Respighi paints Tuscan folk scenes and woodland deities and the virtuoso Liszt is inspired by Petrarch. Presenting the major singers of today and the stars of tomorrow, the Rosenblatt Recitals are London's only world-class season of opera recitals.
"[Feola's] singing is marked by poise and eloquence, and she spins out seamless phrases with unflagging care for the words…even in the Liszt, which takes Feola into the higher, more dramatic reaches, there is no sense of her communication being hemmed in by vocal limitations. Pianist Iain Burnside is supportive and vivid throughout" (Guardian)
"Feola is everything that Rosenblatt Recitals hope to discover - a beautiful voice in its youthful prime, an artist upon the threshold of an auspicious career...at the close of 'Pace non trovo', she rises to an effortless D flat - a high point, in every sense, of singing that is graced everywhere with an elegant sweetness without ever feeling sentimental or saccharine." (Gramophone Editor's Choice March 2016)
