THE WORLD'S FINEST OPERA
BALLET, THEATRE AND MUSIC
Rosa Feola - Musica e Poesia
Rosa Feola (Soprano); Iain Burnside (Piano)
Young soprano Rosa Feola captured international attention as a treble prize-winner at the Plácido Domingo World Opera Competition (2010). Attributed ‘blazing star potential’ for her sensitive phrasing and imaginative colouring of words (Telegraph), she brings her feel for text to this celebration of music and Italian poetry, in which master orchestrator Respighi paints Tuscan folk scenes and woodland deities and the virtuoso Liszt is inspired by Petrarch.

"Italian soprano Rosa Feola was a prizewinner at the 2010 Operalia competition, and Welsh National Opera’s audiences fell in love with her when she sang Elvira in last autumn’s tour of I Puritani. Now she makes a rewarding solo CD debut with this programme largely of little-known Italian songs – Liszt’s Three Petrarch Sonnets are included, too, by virtue of their Italian poet. Her singing is marked by poise and eloquence, and she spins out seamless phrases with unflagging care for the words, whether in Respighi’s Tuscan songs, Martucci’s more expansive Tre Pezzi, or parallel Dante settings by Ponchielli and Pinsuti. Even in the Liszt, which takes Feola into the higher, more dramatic reaches, there is no sense of her communication being hemmed in by vocal limitations. Pianist Iain Burnside is supportive and vivid throughout, especially when suggesting the flitting woodland spirits in Respighi’s Deità silvane." (The Guardian ★★★★)
"[the disc] is an absolute winner. The young Italian soprano Rosa Feola is everything that Rosenblatt Recitals hope to discover - a beautiful voice in its youthful prime, an artist on the threshold of an auspicious career.... Singing that is graced everywhere with an elegant sweetness without ever feeling sentimental or saccharine." (Gramophone)
