Description
Amelita Gallii-Curci was one of the most famed coloratura sopranos of her time, but in my opinion what she really excelled most at was in the repertory of lyric roles and particularly songs. Her very light and pure leggero voice sounds very charming and youthful, and there is an irresistible beauty in her legato piani phrases.
The songs you will hear come from diverse nations:
1) FRANCE: "Crépuscule", by Jules Massenet [0:00]
2) ENGLAND: "Home, sweet home" (Calri), by Henry Bishop [2:58]
3) ITALY: "La Serenata", by Paolo Tosti [5:45]
4) SPAIN: "La Partida", by Fermín María Álvarez [8:49]
5) SPAIN: "Clavelitos", by Quinito Valverde [13:01]
