KARTHAUSER,SOPHIE; EUGENE ASTI

Description:

A collection of animal-themed songs by the soprano of the moment, Kaldheuser, including a cat duet with Dominique Vis! The soprano Kartheiser is one of the most exciting sopranos of our time. With her beautiful and unmistakable voice, she is in great demand in Europe for her wide repertoire of Mozart and other works. This time she sings a collection of animal-themed songs. First, her beautiful voice will surprise you, and then you will enjoy the imaginative worlds of poets and composers who were inspired by animals. Dominique Vis's theatrical cat in Rossini's cat duet is a real treat. It is almost as if a real cat had slipped into the recording. Asti's very neat performance in the interspersed piano solo is also very pleasing. King International
