| | Description: | (Berlin, 19 July) Following on from his phenomenally successful Grammy-nominated first Puccini album in 2015, â??Nessun Dormaâ?, Jonas Kaufmann now presents a new album of Puccini highlights to mark the composerâ??s 2024 anniversary year. He has selected for the new recording six great duets and scenes with six outstanding sopranos â?? legendary love scenes, emotionally-charged Love Affairs.
â??What really appealed to me was recording these very different duets with different partners,â? says Kaufmann. â??With almost all of them Iâ??ve experienced unforgettable moments on stage.â?
Manon Lescaut is sung by Anna Netrebko, with whom he has appeared many times over the course of his career. This year alone audiences have heard them together in two productions of Ponchielliâ??s La Gioconda. Tosca is sung by Sonya Yoncheva, who recently partnered with him at the Arena di Verona. The part of Butterfly is sung by Maria Agresta, who will be touring with Kaufmann this October to mark the Puccini centenary and performing some of the repertoire on this album. In the wake of their stunning success in the new Vienna production of Turandot in December 2023, Asmik Grigorian and Jonas Kaufmann now portray the tragic lovers in Il Tabarro. And as in the performances of the opera at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, Malin BystrĂśm is here once again his partner in La Fanciulla del West. The album also has a debut, with Jonas Kaufmann and Pretty Yende heard together for the first time, in the famous love duet from La Bohème.
Asher Fisch, the albumâ??s conductor, is a regular collaborator of Kaufmannâ??s: â??Weâ??ve known each other for many years. This is also now our second album, after Dolce Vita, which we recorded in Palermo in 2016. This time we went to Bologna, and the brilliant orchestra of the Teatro Comunale, whom I gave a concert with a few years ago.â?
The new album also features two of Pucciniâ??s tenor hits that didnâ??t appear on the first album in 2015: â??Che gelida maninaâ? from La Bohème and â??E lucevan le stelleâ? from Tosca.
For Jonas Kaufmann, Pucciniâ??s music is and remains a unique phenomenon: â??The buttons he pushes with his music still work, a hundred years after his death â?? and do so in a modern society that is completely jaded from an endless flood of bad news and experiences. Much has been written about Puccini, but as I see it, no one has ever yet been able to explain how he managed to evoke such unbelievably powerful emotions with just a few notes. That is a mystery that probably no AI in the world can comprehend.â? - Puccini: Love Affairs by Jonas Kaufmann. | | | Cover: |
