Description:
Sony Classical proudly announces the release of the debut recording on the label by the highly-acclaimed young tenor Vittorio Grigolo.Acknowledged by critics and public alike as the finest exponent of the Italian tenor tradition in a generation, this album is one of the most eagerly-awaited releases of 2010.
Vittorio Grigolo says that his first operatic recital disc, "The Italian Tenor", has been a project of great importance for him. He has purposely waited until he felt the conditions were perfect and he had something unique to communicate in this repertoire. He has chosen a programme of arias representing "the culture I come from. It's like giving my card to someone who doesn't know me the voice of the Italian tenor, with a communication that comes in a natural way, like opening a window on a sunny day!"
Vittorio Grigolowas born in Arezzo, Tuscany and grew up in Rome. A soloist in the celebrated Sistine Chapel Choiras a child, he appeared at the Rome Opera as the Pastorello in "Tosca" opposite the great Luciano Pavarottiwhen only 13 years old. He has since gone on to conquer the world's major opera houses and festivals, collaborating with outstanding singers and today's greatest conductors including Riccardo Muti, Zubin Mehta, Antonio Pappano, Riccardo Chailly, Lorin Maazel and Daniel Oren. His natural charisma and outstanding dramatic abilities complement a voice that possesses all the unique attributes of the Italian tenor beautiful tone, effortless production and stylish phrasing qualities which are fully displayed on this album.
