THE WORLD'S FINEST OPERA
BALLET, THEATRE AND MUSIC
Joy Alone
Angel Blue (Soprano); Iain Burnside (Piano)
The young American soprano Angel Blue – hailed by Plácido Domingo as ‘the next Leontyne Price’ – displays exceptional artistic versatility on this, her first solo album. George Gershwin’s classic ‘Summertime’, which ‘soars sweetly to angelic heights’ (Financial Times), sets the scene for
a wide-ranging recital in which her luminous and pure tone comes to the fore, from Liszt, Rachmaninov and Strauss to rousing spirituals, songs by acclaimed American contemporaries Heggie and Adolphe, and intoxicating Spanish zarzuelas.

"This album establishes both Angel Blue's exceptional competence and her confidence as a mature, assured singer. She tackles well-established material by such luminaries as Richard Strauss and Rachmaninov, as well as zarzuela arias by Pablo Luna and Ruperto Chapi, and gives a ravishing account of Gershwin's 'Summertime'. What versatility! She throws herself with enthusiasm into every piece, and this really is an outstanding debut disc, a visitng card that tells us a major new artist has arrived." (The Mail on Sunday ★★★★★)
"... never before has a burn come simply from listening to a vocal recital...you can easily see why she shot to fame at Los Angeles Opera...She’s so sultry, dramatic and spine-tingling." (The Times)
