Bellini - Soprano Opera Arias [Anderson/ Rescigno-Orchestre Philharmonique De Monte Carlo]
Here's a really nice Opera Arias recital, a disc dedicated to Bellini only, a great idea, there are too few dedicated to just this Composer, my only gripe with this disc is its somewhat short measure [54 minutes], an Aria or two could have been added from Norma, especially the famous one.
June Anderson is American, now 57 years old, she is mainly associated with the Bel Canto repertoire, i really like the booklet cover, a soft focus shot [by Steve Bicknell], vague background, and some well chosen lettering.
Here's Antonella Bandelli singing the Beatrice di Tenda aria on YouTube.
