HEART-WRENCHING VERISMO ARIAS

Global star tenor Piotr Beczala presents Vincerò !, the first fruit of his exclusive collaboration with PENTATONE. I will win! is a collection of heart-wrenching opera arias by Puccini, Mascagni, Leoncavallo, Giordano and Cilea. For Beczala, this recording documents his vocal transition from the lyrical tenor repertoire to the more dramatic roles of Verismo, and thus simultaneously marks a significant new chapter in his stage career. Beczala is accompanied by the Cor de la Generalitat Valenciana and the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana, led by maestro Marco Boemi; an extraordinary singer's conductor who worked with the greatest vocalists of our age.
