Product Description:

Roberto Alagna, Angela Gheorghiu, Laura Polverelli & George Petean

Chor und Orchester der Deutschen Oper Berlin, Alberto Veronesi

Pietro Mascagni’s charming though seldom recorded romantic comedy L’amico Fritz, featuring a “phenomenal” (klassik.com) cast: Roberto Alagna is Fritz, the confirmed bachelor who succumbs in the course of this delightful opera to the irresistibly lovely Suzel, sung by Angela Gheorghiu. The recording was made in 2008 from wildly acclaimed live performances at Berlin's Deutsche Oper, eliciting superlatives from the critics: “Two stars at the height of their powers...It was good to hear wholehearted ovations again from the Deutsche Oper audience” (Der Opernfreund); “The soloists gave of their phenomenal best and the orchestra under Veronesi played sensationally... I can't recall the last time I heard such enthusiastic (and prolonged) applause at the Deutsche Oper” (klassik.com); “A rare musical treat” (Das Opernglas). This release is certain to be a must-have for all lovers of Italian opera as well as the many fans of Alagna and Gheorghiu
