Following on from his phenomenally successful Grammy-nominated first Puccini album in 2015, 'Nessun dorma', Jonas Kaufmann now presents a new album of Puccini highlights to mark the composer's anniversary year 2024. He is joined by sopranos Anna Netrebko (in 'Manon Lescaut'), Asmik Grigorian (in 'Il Tabarro'), Malin Byström (in 'La Fanciulla del West'), Maria Agresta (in 'Madama Butterfly'), Pretty Yende (in 'La Bohème') and Sonya Yoncheva (in 'Tosca'). Two famous tenor arias 'E lucevan le stelle' (Tosca) and 'Che gelida manina!' ('La Bohème') complete the attractive programme, with Asher Fisch conducting the Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna. The album is presented in limited edition deluxe packaging, including printed interview with Jonas Kaufmann, full lyrics, photos and many of the original Ricordi opera posters.
