Sir Thomas Allen - Great Operatic Arias, Vol. 2

Sir Thomas Allen - Great Operatic Arias, Vol. 2

Allen; Philharmonia Orchestra; Parry

Over a long and still flourishing career, Sir Thomas Allen has given benchmark performances in several operatic roles of which Mozart and Verdi operas figure strongly. With two spicy exceptions, every item in this programme comes from an opera by Mozart or Verdi. Part of the design of this recital series is to highlight the particular type of voice and explore its repertoire. The works chosen for this disc provide a unique showcase of Sir Thomas Allen’s unique gifts and that of the baritone in general.

"This is not a nostalgic survey of favourite roles and arias… but a demonstration of the singers art above all the fine welding of words and music together… Pure pleasure."
Gramophone

"Falstaff’s great dream of cuckoldry, and Macbeth’s vision of desolate old age are magnificent. So too, are Allen’s lengthier scenes as the dying Rodrigo from Don Carlos and as Germont père with Claire Rutter’s Violetta, from La traviata."
BBC Music Magazine

"These selections could not be better sung."
Opera Magazine

"A delight for collectors and a masterclass for aspirant singers in characterisation, enunciation and, above all, diction."
