After his first Puccini album in 2015, "Nessun Dorma", which achieved phenomenal success and was nominated for a Grammy Award, Jonas Kaufmann today presents a new album of Puccini highlights on the occasion of the composer's anniversary year in 2024. "The greatest tenor of his generation" (The Guardian) has selected for his new recording six major duets and scenes with six exceptional sopranos - legendary love scenes, emotionally charged love affairs. He is accompanied by sopranos Anna Netrebko (in Manon Lescaut), Asmik Grigorian (in Il Tabarro), Malin Bystrom (in La Fanciulla del West), Maria Agresta (in Madame Butterfly), Pretty Yende (in La Bohème) and Sonya Yoncheva (in Tosca). Two famous tenor arias "E lucevan le stelle" (Tosca) and "Che gelida manina!" (La Bohème) complete this attractive program, with Asher Fisch leading the Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna. The album is presented in a limited edition deluxe digipack packaging, including an interview with Jonas Kaufmann, complete lyrics, photos and numerous original Ricordi opera posters.
