Compilation: Josephine Veasey - Arias from Les Troyens, Così fan tutte, Don Carlo, Forza, Tristan, Rosenkavalier and the Ring
$5.95
Description:
Josephine Veasey, one of Britain’s most distinguished mezzo-sopranos, showcases her extraordinary versatility in this wide-ranging recital of arias. A mainstay of Covent Garden from the 1950s through the 1970s, Veasey was especially admired for her portrayals in both the French and German repertoires. Her voice—rich, expressive, and flexible—made her equally at home in Berlioz, Wagner, and Mozart, as well as in contemporary works by composers like Britten.
This collection draws from some of her most iconic roles, with arias from Così fan tutte, Les Troyens, La Damnation de Faust, Norma, Tannhäuser, Tristan und Isolde, Die Walküre, Götterdämmerung, Der Rosenkavalier, A Midsummer Night's Dream, La Forza del Destino, and Don Carlo. Her vocal color and dramatic insight shine through in each selection, making this not just a sampler but a compelling portrait of an artist at the height of her interpretive powers.
