Verdi:

Se quel guerrier io fossi!

Di' tu se fedele (from Un ballo in maschera)

Forse la soglia attinse (from Un ballo in maschera)

Oh! fede negar potessi

Quando le sere al placido (from Luisa Miller)

L'ara, o l'avello apprestami (Luisa Miller: Rodolfo / Walter / coro)

La vita è inferno … O tu che in seno (Don Alvaro)

Quale d’armi fragor poc’anzi intesi? (Il Trovatore) feat. Annalisa Raspagliosi as Leonora

Ah sì ben mio (from Il trovatore)

Acte III : Ah si, ben mio…L’onda de suoni mistici (La Trouvère) feat. Anna Raspagliosi as Leonora and Arturo Chacon Cruz as Ruiz

Di quella pira (from Il trovatore) feat. Annalisa Raspagliosi as Leonora

La mia letizia infondere (from I lombardi)

Merce diletti amiche

Dell’esilio nel dolore

Io l'ho perduta (from Don Carlos)

Oh figli … Ah, la paterna mano (Macduff)

From one of the greatest Verdi singers on today's operatic stage, a disc of the most glorious music Verdi wrote for the tenor voice.

"Alvarez performs with generosity and compassion, throwing himself into the high emotions demanded. He scales his high notes joyfully, boldly, never indulgently. This is familiar Pavarotti territory, but in Alvarez's hands a more tormented and impassioned experience." (Evening Standard, London (on Il Trovatore at Covent Garden))

Marcelo Álvarez showcases the voice that has made him THE Verdi tenor on today's operatic stage, in his first disc for Decca.
