I vespri verdiani Verdi arias

Description

The Ukrainian soprano Olga Mykytenko has won numerous international awards. Her extraordinary musicality, solid vocal technique, easy coloraturas, and strong expression allow her to sing major roles, from Iolanta, Mimi, and Nedda to Gilda, Violetta, and Lucia. Engaged for many years as a soloist at the National Opera of Ukraine in Kiev, where she made her debut, Olga has performed in operas and concert halls around the world. For this first album from Chandos, she interprets in the studio the greatest soprano roles of Verdi. Accompanied by her compatriot Kirill Karabits and the friendly Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, this recital is a vocal and musical tour de force.
