A very attractive disc where one of the world’s leading opera singers proves that she has several other strings to her bow. Celebrated soprano Karita Mattila has proved herself to be irresistible in any musical genre. This compilation couples live performances of some of the world's best-loved opera arias together with the Finnish diva's unique interpretations of songs from Broadway musicals and the Great American Songbook. Included are two previously unreleased tracks from her earlier live recorded Fever album (ODE 1105-2): Misty (track 13) and 'Round Midnight (14). |
