The Irresistible Karita Mattila

The Irresistible Karita Mattila

Mattila; Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra; Saraste

Celebrated soprano Karita Mattila has proved herself to be irresistible in any musical genre. This compilation couples live performances of some of the world's best-loved opera arias together with the Finnish diva's unique interpretations of songs from Broadway musicals and the Great American Songbook. Included are two previously unreleased tracks from her earlier live recorded Fever album, 'Misty' and 'Round Midnight'.


Karita Mattila is the biggest Finnish star on the international stage of classical music. She has been named by Musical America as 'the most electrifying actress of our day...". This release marks her 50th birthday in 2010, coinciding with Ondine's 25th anniversary.
