About

Villazón's singing offers a combination of intelligence and glamour not seen since the ascendancy of Domingo.” - The New Yorker

Rolando Villazón has become one of the most outstanding tenors of his generation. The range of repertoire he has recorded on Virgin Classics offers an impressive sample of his artistry, covering several genres and centuries, from Monteverdi to 19th century French, Italian & Russian opera, and more recently the Spanish zarzuela. The richness of his catalogue on the label calls for a 2CD compilation.

The album features a previously unreleased aria - “Donna non vidi mai” from Manon Lescaut - and the Christmas track “Stille Nacht” (Silent Night). A deluxe edition is also available which includes an exclusive DVD of highlights from his celebrated Prague concert.
