Valentina Nafornita: Romance

Very appropriately, Valentina Naforni?? devotes half of her album to the composer who makes the highest vocal demands, with his incomparable dramatic complexity and inspired musical invention. Ever since she sang her first Papagena as a new ensemble member of the Vienna State Opera in the autumn of 2011, she has repeatedly enjoyed enormous success performing Mozart's great female roles, which are so challenging in their diversity. The charismatic Moldovan soprano impresses with an astonishingly wide palette of expression and emotion. The second part of the CD is devoted to the Slavonic repertory. With her rich, bronze timbre, she is ideally suited to the tragic depth of expression of Dvo?ák's 'Song to the Moon', with which she made her breakthrough at the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition, and to Tchaikovsky, whose 'Iolanta' she sang at the Opéra de Paris in May 2019. The recording ends with a song dedicated to Valentina by the Moldovan composer Eugen Doga, recounting the life story of this singer who has been known as 'The Nightingale' in her homeland since she was five years old.
