The early musical experiences of Puccini and Verdi, those two giants of Italian opera, were in fact gained in the field of sacred music. In 1880, at the age of 22, Puccini composed his Messa a 4 voci as a graduation exercise. When still a schoolboy, the 45-year older Verdi stood in for the organist in his home village; at the end of this life, he returned to church music, writing his Quattro pezzi sacri in the 1890s at the age of over 80. The Messa of the younger composer – which was believed lost until 1952 – is a joyful and scintillating work. Artistically, Verdi’s powerful and intense Pezzi sacri can be placed on an equal standing with his beloved operas.

Genre: Classical | Label: Orfeo

Puccini’s 'Suor Angelica' used to be seen as one of the composer’s ‘problem children’. As the central work of 'Il Trittico', it is sandwiched between two dramatically more effective pieces: a tale of life in a convent and of the suicide of a mother robbed of her child, it simply could not hold its own against its sister works at their world première in New York. Various cuts sanctioned by Puccini testify to his concessions to the conventions of the opera business. Uncut, 'Suor Angelica' lasts just about an hour, and one often hears it in the concert hall today.

"Puccini? Sì, Puccini con le sue arie così attuali e cantabili da qualsiasi voce. Perché un brano, quando coinvolge e appassiona, è di tutti. Ho immaginato Puccini che, ascoltando queste particolari trasposizioni, si sia divertito ad uscire dal territorio granitico del mondo dell'opera, diventando a sua volta protagonista di sé stesso nei giorni nostri". Così Antonella Ruggiero parla dell'album 'Puccini?', in uscita il 29 novembre a 100 anni dalla morte del compositore, disponibile nei vari formati CD Digipack, vinile e in digitale su etichetta Libera/BMG. Produzione artistica e musicale di Roberto Colombo, adattamento musicale di Francesco Buzzurro nei brani in cui è presente la chitarra. Puccini? è un lavoro iniziato dall'artista nel 2001 con un primo avvicinamento al mondo e alle arie del musicita, registrando in studio un primo brano, a cui è seguito nel 2009 un percorso di rilettura di sette arie, in ambito elettronico, partendo dalle partiture originali. La scelta del repertorio è stata fatta seguendo l'amore per le singole arie, senza considerare se si trattasse di arie per voce femminile o maschile. Nemmeno le tonalità sono quelle originali, ma sono state decise cercando quelle che risultassero più naturali.

Andrea Bocelli sings Puccini’s final "Turandot" on this emotionally charged account of the complete opera, featuring the world-renowned aria Nessun dorma. Conductor Zubin Mehta, who has made a speciality of this first-class Puccini opera ever since his landmark 1972 Decca recording, draws a stirring orchestral performance from the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana. Starring Bocelli in the lead role of Calaf the unknown prince, his powerful tenor tells a compelling story of riddles answered, triumph secured, honour displayed and love deeply felt. The key role of the icy riddler princess, Turandot, is sung by American soprano Jennifer Wilson.
