In Romantique, El na Garanca makes a smashing return to the studio and puts her imprint upon the big Romantic repertory, brilliantly portraying such different heroines as Tchaikovskys Joan of Arc (The Maid of Orleans), Gounods Sapho and Saint-Sa«ns Dalila.
El na Garancas mezzo-soprano is velvet; she is a stunning figure on stage; her formidable technique encompasses repertoire from Mozart and bel canto to dramatic roles and contemporary music.
Conductor Yves Abels penchant for the voice and skill at leading an orchestra draws beautiful sound and potent drama from the Filarmonica del Teatro Comunale di Bologna. El na Garancas rapport with this orchestra is deeper than ever.
