ForEternamente, her first studio recording in six years, soprano Angela Gheorghiu focuses on Italian composers of the generation that followed Verdi and predominantly on repertoire she has not sung before â€“ including some fascinating rarities. Joining her for duets from Mascagniâ€™sCavalleria rusticanaand Giordanoâ€™sAndrea ChÃ©nieris another star of todayâ€™s opera stage, tenor Joseph Calleja.Eternamenteis described as a collection ofverismoâ€“ the term used generically for Italian opera of the immediate post-Verdi era. No matter when they were composed, and no matter what their subject matter, all these operas demand great passion and commitment from their performers â€“ and they get it from Angela Gheorghiu. â€œIt is like my soul, it is something different, it is not the voice,â€ she explained in an interview with Opera magazine. â€œThe voice is also there, it has to be there, and it has had to be prepared â€“ but at that moment of the performance, there is more. The response is never a conscious exaggeration â€“ it is a natural expression. I am never pretending. It is just how I am at that moment.â€ The character and impact of her voice was summarised thus in Gramophone: â€œWith her smooth and dark-toned soprano, a voice at once powerfully firm and vulnerable, Gheorghiu stands out from an entire generation of talented singers. Her sound is convincingly Italianate in the great tradition; her voice, once heard, is never forgotten.â€
