Rossini!

This is another stunning album from a remarkable soprano. This time, Ms. Peretyatko shows that she can effortlessly guide her beautiful voice through the labyrinthine passages of Rossini. A disc to treasure.

Wonderful voice. Comparable with Maria Callas. I would say its more musical. Calass's voice has a bit more power. Couldn't find vinyl. I guess the quality would be much better. Recommend.

Listening takes me to a gentler, peaceful and lovely place.I am definitely a novice listener of classical music. I used to listen to music like this quite often, but life took a turn that left me with very little quality listening time. I've been toying with getting back "into it". I happened to run across the profile page of a reviewer whom I respect, and he recommended this album. I could not have made a better choice!It is a wonderful hour-plus interlude of listening pleasure. Perfect for bringing peace and optimism to turbulent thoughts. Listening to this album turns me around every time! Beautiful, just beautiful! Superb.

Olga!

What a Voice, !!!

This is a delightful recording, and I am glad I bought it.

A true masterpiece - a word I do not use lightly.Also, I've never been a big fan of Rossini's, so coming from me, it's not just a shallow compliment but a super enthusiastic recognition of the vocal prowess of the highest level.Brava, bravissima, Olga Peretyatko​!

Maestro Zedda is now in his late 80s; he's probably forgot that he used to work with great voices like Katia Ricciarelli, Lella Cuberli, Rockell Blake, June Anderson and so on. Olga Peretyatko's tiny and insignificant voice does not do justice to all thesw arias; a colourless voice with NO coloratura, pitch issues, no acuti and no sovracuti....then what's left?? Her ornaments sound ridiculous, never in style, always distorting the line. In addition to the mushy coloratura, she has serious pitch issues. In order to become a decent musician, Mrs Peretyatko needs to study a lot; the "bel raggio lusinghier" shows how terrible she can manage canto fiorito. This is probably the worst ever studio recorded rendition of this aria. In both arias from Il Viaggio a Reims we can easily observe her vocal and technical limitation. I strongly recommend June Anderson and Cecilia Gasdia for these two arias. Amenaide's aria that is meant to be a light one: it's painful to hear her strained top with pitch issues, no legato and lastly, no emotion. In Il Turco, I would have told her "I vostri cenci vi mando e nel teatro piu non vi voglio"; no spice to bring the flavour of the character and her coloratura is just painful to my ears...she simply cannot sing her own variations! Lastly, even in Rossina's aria her lack of charm and personality and her serious technical issues make me throw this horrible CD in the bin.

Se cinquantatré anni fa mi sono appassionato alla grande musica lo devo proprio a Rossini. Dopo oltre mezzo secolo risento le sue arie interpretate da una voce stupenda che è una delizia per l'anima. Ascoltando questo CD si intuisce che Olga Peretyatko ci ha messo l'anima perchè è innamorata di Rossini. Ottima anche l'orchestra diretta da un autentico cultore del compositore pesarese qual è il Maestro Zedda. Un CD da godere.

Questo cd e arrivato in molto buon tempo (vivo in Irlanda). L' aspettavo con impatienza e non mi ha fatto deludere. La bella voce di Olga Peretyatko ama questo repertorio - e la musica ama la sua voce, ideale per lei. Mi piace sempre la musica di Rossini ed al momento, questo cd sta nella macchina mia per ascoltarlo quando faccio i viaggi. Bella musica, e la dolce far' niente, no? Chi vorrebbe piu?

parfaitement satisfait. J'ai découvert un très grande artiste. Une voie qui me donne de très belles et bonnes émotions.L'emballage a été très efficace.Thierry Peyres
