I personally am looking forward to hearing this. Scalera is an excellent and sensitive accompanist.
Nice to hear some new Puccini. I love his canzone (Krassmira Stoyanova’s album, including some alternate takes accompanied by organ, is perfection). But … what the hell is Angie wearing on the album cover and how does it relate to any Puccini role?
The portrait is just beautiful… and I think that background is set at the hometown of Puccini, Torre del Lago？
