Album insights
Elina Garanca's extraordinary talents would have made her a star in any century, but with her voice and film-star appearance, she is perfectly suited for the 'live in HD' era. Her standout ability as a mezzo-soprano lies in singing cantabile melodies of such breathtaking beauty that time seems to stand still. In her latest album "Revive" for Deutsche Grammophon, the Latvian mezzo-soprano delves into the turbulent lives of strong operatic heroines. Showcasing her world-class interpretation skills, Garanca presents a collection of arias from the vast romantic repertoire. "Revive" portrays characters consumed by passion and overpowered by life's events, seemingly powerless against the tumultuous forces. This diverse selection of pieces not only showcases Garanca's vocal range and versatility but also reflects her personal tastes and interests. Collaborating with Roberto Abbado and the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana, "Revive" captures the essence of Elina Garanca's artistry at its finest.
