Обложка альбома «A Tribute to Pauline Viardot» — Marina Viotti, Les Talens Lyriques & Christophe Rousset

Marina Viotti and Les Talens Lyriques evoke the musical legacy of Pauline Viardot, whose radiant voice and stage presence inspired composers as diverse as Berlioz, Halévy, Gounod and Saint-Saëns, among others, to create operatic roles for her. The Swiss mezzo-soprano has the tonal weight, technique and personality to do justice to Viardot’s dazzling repertoire. She invests popular hits such as Rossini’s “Una voce poco fa” (Track 5) and Bellini’s “Se Romeo t’uccise un figlio” (Track 2) with a sparky freshness and sumptuous sensuality that enhance their immediate emotional appeal. Christophe Rousset and his superb period-instrument band are on scintillating form throughout. They turn in a breathtaking performance of the “Overture” to Rossini’s <i>Semiramide</i> (Track 6), the fizzing energy of which is amplified by Viotti in her majestic interpretation of “Bel raggio lusinghier” from the same opera (Track 7).
