Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Angela Gheorghiu first captured international attention in 1994 and rose rapidly to first-class star status. This 2001 recital, from the same opera house where her La traviata set the audience and critics on fire, shows the qualities that have made her one of the most acclaimed opera singers working today.
Gheorghiu's best-known roles are in the romantic and verismo operas of the 19th and early 20th centuries, sampled here in beautifully interpreted arias of Massenet, Charpentier, Puccini, and Cilea. In this music, her identification with the role is total, her voice tonally opulent, emotionally expressive, and exquisitely controlled. When her selections venture outside that rather restricted category, the results are equally impressive. A charming novelty is the folk-flavored aria by Romanian composer Tiberiu Brediceanu. Gheorghiu's 18th-century arias give Handel and Mozart a refreshing energy, and she is captivating in "I could have danced all night." The disc is in widescreen anamorphic format with DTS, Dolby Digital 5.0, and PCM stereo sound, and EMI's booklet is a model of what all DVD releases should offer but seldom do. --Joe McLellan

Reaally enjoyed this production of La Traviata with Angela Gheorghiu. She is so good. And when she opens her full voice I think of the great Renata Tabaldi. The set,color and sound is also great. Anyone who buys it will not be disappointed. Also purchased Angela at Covent gardens and loved that one too. Mario C.

It's only been a few months since I've gotten into opera, so this review is more in layman terms and may be rather simplistic. From a beginners perspective, you can't go wrong with Gheorghiu as her voice is very beautiful, smooth, and full of clarity, which is all translated onto this DVD with her wonderful performance. On the second viewing, I was going to work on my computer while it played in the background. I ended up completely ignoring my work and watched her sing again. You can tell by her ... Read More

En este breve (56 minutos) pero sustancioso recital (grabado en Junio de 2001 en el Covent Garden londinense), la soprano rumana ANGELA GHEORGHIU se confirma como una de las grandes divas del panorama actual. Con una presencia escenica y una elegancia de una sola pieza, Gheorghiu irrumpe en el escenario del Covent Garden con paso firme, y en todo momento su saber estar es un deleite para la vista. ¡Que clase! En lo vocal (una vez mas) saca a relucir toda sus armas al maximo nivel: la belleza de la ... Read More

I personally don't believe Angela Gheorghiu is the "next Callas"--she's not neurotic enough. She has a beautiful voice, excellent control, wonderful accuracy of pitch and timing, and she sings from the depths of her heart, living the piece. Absolutely charming. But she's not a Callas. The Callas fire simply isn't there; no tempestuous wild animal quality to sear your soul. But that doesn't mean Angela Gheorghiu isn't great to watch and to listen to. And this concert is beautifully recorded--the Dolby ... Read More

Though she's very original and proud of it, Gheorghiu is really the new Callas; she can sing anything, with a superb sense of stage and style, a warm and beautiful voice with a strong technique based on the very Bel Canto italian school.
The highest results are obtained with Charpentier's Louise, Puccini's Liù and Bellini's Norma.
At least a true opera star, and also a Beauty. I'm looking forward to her next concert to be captured in dvd.
