Puccini: A te, Puccini / Angela Gheorghiu

Signum Classics are proud to present superstar soprano Angela Gheorghiu’s first album on the Grammy award winning label. Described as “the world’s most glamorous and gifted opera star” (New York Sun), Ms. Gheorghiu’s magnificent voice and dazzling stage presence have established her as a unique international opera superstar. Her new album, released to mark the 100th anniversary of celebrated composer Giacomo Puccini's death, brings together a collection of little-known songs spanning his entire career. The album features a World Premiere Recording of the recently rediscovered song “Melanconia”. It also includes songs that Puccini used as an inspiration in his famous operas, such as "Sole e amore", "Mentia l'avviso", "Sogno d'or" and "Morire?". Other notable works on the recording are “Salve Regina” and the title track “A te” composed by Puccini at just 16 years old.
