Compilation: Virginia Zeani - Excerpts from Boheme, Der fliegende Holländer, Rossini's Otello and more
$4.95
Description:
During her time, Virginia Zeani epitomized the complete artist. She possessed a voice of remarkable beauty—both opulent and agile—paired with superb acting skills, an innate musicality (particularly in the Italian repertory), striking looks, and an astonishing versatility. Her repertoire spanned from Rossini and early Verdi to Puccini and even Wagner, a rare feat for any soprano.
This compilation is a tribute to that extraordinary versatility. Among the many highlights are Senta’s ballad (sung in Italian) and Desdemona’s aria from Rossini’s Otello—two dramatically different styles that conventional wisdom suggests should be impossible to master equally. Yet Virginia Zeani was anything but conventional.
The collection features arias and excerpts from La Sonnambula, Alzira, La Rondine, La Bohème, Manon Lescaut, Fedora, Il piccolo Marat, Der fliegende Holländer, and Rossini’s Otello—a testament to Zeani’s extraordinary artistic range.
