Music reviews of Angela Gheorghiu - Mysterium ~ Sacred Arias
Music Review: Divine music, Divinely performed, glorifying Divinity.
Rating: 5 Stars
Angela Gheorghiu performs here in 5 different languages, starting with 4 Romanian sacred arias (that one can not find them easily elsewhere), followed by similar arias in English, Latin, German and Italian. The music is DIVINE. Angela uses her DIVINE voice to give us a DIVINE performance glorifying DIVINITY. It is BEAUTIFUL, ADORABLE, TOUCHING, and ETERNAL. To me this CD is an example of PERFECTION.
Description of Angela Gheorghiu - Mysterium ~ Sacred Arias
At first glance, this looks like another of those star turns in which a highly publicized singer tackles material calculated to broaden her appeal. But it's much more than that, for Angela Gheorghiu, in addition to possessing one of the great voices of our day, exhibits an affinity for most of the 15 selections on this highly attractive disc. She opens with Romanian Orthodox works that are compelling in their heartfelt simplicity. The rest of the program includes standards, like the Schubert Ave Maria, and traditional Christmas songs, such as "O Holy Night" and "Adeste fideles" (both gorgeously sung with a restraint that averts sentimentality), along with others ranging from the familiar to the seldom heard. One of these rarities is the high point of the disc: Niedermeyer's "Pieta, Signor," sung with spectacular intensity and boasting some thrilling trills. Gheorghiu's so good that this Christmas stocking stuffer becomes a disc for all seasons. --Dan DavisGeneral CDs
