Angela Gheorghiu - The Making of "Homage to Maria Callas"

NEW ALBUM AVAILABLE HERE: links.emi.com/homagetocallas .... Angela Gheorghiu, the defining diva of the 21st century, releases 'Homage to Maria Callas'.
An Homage to Maria Callas featuring stunning new recordings of favourite arias from La Bohème, La Traviata, La Wally, and many more...
'Homage to Maria Callas' is a collection of beloved French and Italian operatic masterpieces performed by Angela Gheorghiu, the defining diva of this century. The programme is inspired by the career and recordings of Maria Callas, the greatest diva of the last century. The arias are shared favourites of both Callas and Gheorghiu, and Angela's new recording demonstrates once again her extraordinary vocal and emotional range.
Angela Gheorghiu said recently, "Callas was original in everything she did; she was a phenomenon. In every performance she gave her all. She was the most wonderful painter and you can always hear exactly the right colour in her voice. Just hearing her sound, you understand all the power or fragility of her emotions. That's a rare talent and a great gift." Gheorghiu continued, "EMI was her record label and it's mine too. It feels like a family".
Recorded at London's iconic Abbey Road Studios in London and in New York, the repertoire of Gheorghiu's first studio recital in six years (during which time she recorded several complete operas, including a multi-award-winning Madama Butterfly), shows her versatility in lyric, spinto and mezzo roles, with each of which she feels a strong emotional connection.

Brava Madame Georghiu, you are great in your own right and yet you talk so warmly about Callas because probably you understand and love her. I think that Maria would have loved you because you are so honest ....

[@Apo12345]

I think so too. They seem to have this in common, authenticity.

[@TheRonnos]

Twin souls

[@mugrad25]

I can tell you one thing...no one sounds like gheorghiu

[@selini52]

theodore braden thank you,no voice is like the other,but people have preferences. I do miss Angela Georghiou, where is she?

[@maryvallettakeith6146]

I love the way she speaks.

[@annacyran716]

Best Angela and Best CD...Beautiful voice , woman, artist ❣️❤️💛💙❤️💛💙🎶💙💞🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@bogdanvlad8791]

SUPERBĂ! Am rămas fără cuvinte...Mulțumesc, Angela Gheorghiu!

[@TheRonnos]

Marvellous! My favourite Maria Callas follow up opera singer: Angela Gheorghiu. You are the most closest of all to Callas singing and personality and make me also cry sometimes tears of beauty, emotion & expression of the human sensitive soul

[@pattyfromtoledo]

Angela is so amazing!!

[@lavitaebella25]

Maria Callas and Angela Gheorghiu are the greatest opera singers ever! Gheorghiu is the Callas of our generation! I'm so happy she made this album!!!

[@arrassip3196]

Nonsense and ignorance

[@Daniela-pr7rz]

@@arrassip3196 Well said.

Eternamente Maria Callas...!!! Diva Assoluta Eterna...!!! La Unica Divina Greca...!!! Brava Angela Gheorghiu...!!!

[@KarlaMatus79]

I LOVE YOU

[@sallybrite1530]

Brava, Angelica!

[@lutzgrellmann1053]

Angela, bravo !

[@annalisette5897]

Angela Gheorghiu is one of the few modern/young opera stars that I like. I am so glad she is paying homage to Maria Callas.

[@daniel_5606]

Bravo..👏👏

[@pukaka]

i think she really deserves to make this homage album. the first time i listened to angela, i thought it was callas singing!

[@suzanapetrache5837]

Superbissima Angela. O ador !

[@litoboy5]

beautiful !!!

[@lisolisao]

Perfecta

[@daniel_5606]

Le hizo justicia ya tengo su disco

[@opera32866]

yes callas and gheorghiu do sound alike my 2 all time favorite!!💖💖

[@SavHub]

Also, EMI, you promised us a Gheorghiu-Kaufmann-Pappano recording of AIDA - please keep your promise and record it. Trust me, it will sell!

[@arndn20021]

Bellissima voce, la amo d'avero, no la comparo, Callas sará sempre la DIVA assoluta

[@zehnthaussteinbach5377]

I hate to say it, but this is exactly the self-absorbed, vain singing style that Maria Callas detested. She has emphasized this again and again in interviews and her master classes.

[@SavHub]

Since Angela is the best verismo soprano we currently have, I think an homage to Renata Tebaldi would be welcome as well. And, unlike Callas, Tebaldi and Gheorghiu have astonishingly beautiful voices...

[@solbrea7699]

Poe qué esa especie de competencia? no me parece acertado invadir el campo espiritual de la gran Callas.Definitivamente NO

[@codenamenina9844]

I love Angela, but Callas is Callas and no one will ever reach her.

[@greatmomentsofopera7170]

Is this the most cynical opera marketing gimmick of all time?

[@peteradaniel]

I adore Angela, but please leave the Bel Canto alone. I don't understand why she doesn't do Trovatore, Nozze di figaro or Falstaff on stage. Also desdemona.

[@williamlansbury3752]

A True Disgrace and stain on the reputation of the Grand Maria Callas

[@lejacq1]

Quelle vulgarité. Comment oser dire que cette femme là a quoi que ce soit à voir avec Maria Callas. !!!

[@Daniela-pr7rz]

Vulgarity in singing too. No bel canto skills whatsoever.

[@danielasauerwein8622]

Oh la la c est un peu trop fort. Elle fait un homage a la Diva, Elle n a aucune pretetion la dessus
