Bellini Donizetti Heroines is a delightful album that showcases the stunning vocal skills of Beverly Sills and the masterful conducting of Jussi Jalas. The album features a selection of arias from the operas of Bellini and Donizetti, with Sills delivering emotive and powerful performances that transport listeners to the world of the heroines she portrays.
Sills' voice is a marvel to behold, with her effortless control and range allowing her to effortlessly glide through the most challenging of arias. Her rendition of "Casta diva" from Bellini's Norma is particularly impressive, with Sills imbuing the piece with a sense of longing and vulnerability that is truly captivating.
Jalas' conducting is equally impressive, with his deft hand helping to bring out the nuances of the music and allowing Sills to shine. The orchestra plays with precision and passion, providing a rich and nuanced backdrop for Sills' vocals.
