Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.One of the worldu2019s leading Wagnerians releases his debut solo recording on ABC Classics to coincide with his appearance at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden.rrStuart Skelton has long been acclaimed as one of the greatest heldentenors of his generation, receiving extraordinary reviews for his performances in some of operau2019s most demanding roles. His incredible voice and outstanding musicianship have seen him perform all over the world, from the Sydney Opera House to New Yorku2019s Metropolitan Opera, and from the English National Opera to Milanu2019s legendary La Scala. rrShining Knight features arias from many of the roles that have become synonymous with Stuart Skelton u2013 Parsifal, Lohengrin, Siegmund u2013 as well as Lieder and songs from outside the operatic repertoire. rrThe disc begins with one of Wagneru2019s earliest works, Rienzi, and traces the composeru2019s development as he invents a new musical language in his Ring cycle, his great operas Parsifal and Tristan und Isolde, and then to the Wesendonck Lieder that foreshadows so much of his later work. Skelton then turns to America, and two composers from the generation inspired by Wagner: Charles Griffes and Samuel Barber.rrAccompanied here by the West Australian Symphony Orchestra conducted by his friend and frequent collaborator Asher Fisch, Shining Knight showcases one of the worldu2019s greatest voices at the very peak its powers.
