In Romantique, Elīna Garanča makes a smashing return to the\nstudio and puts her imprint upon the big Romantic repertory,\nbrilliantly portraying such different heroines as Tchaikovsky’s\nJoan of Arc (The Maid of Orléans), Gounod’s Sapho and Saint-Saëns’\nDalila.

Elīna Garanča’s mezzo-soprano is velvet; she is a stunning\nfigure on stage; her formidable technique encompasses repertoire\nfrom Mozart and bel canto to dramatic roles and contemporary\nmusic.

Conductor Yves Abel’s penchant for the voice and skill at\nleading an orchestra draws beautiful sound and potent drama from\nthe Filarmonica del Teatro Comunale di Bologna. Elīna Garanča’s\nrapport with this orchestra is deeper than ever.
