Now available on vinyl, the UK no.1 classical album and world’s leading tenor Jonas Kaufmann’s first release fully devoted to the most popular Italian opera composer of all time, Giacomo Puccini.

Released on CD 11th Sept 2015, 'Nessun Dorma – The Puccini Album' went straight in at No.1 in the UK classical charts and achieved an unprecedented Top 30 album chart position. This is the first time a Puccini recital album has ever achieved a Top 30 position on the main album chart.

Jonas Kaufmann sings a selection of the composer’s incredible tenor arias drawn from Puccini’s greatest operas, including Turandot, Manon Lescaut, Tosca, La Bohème, Madama Butterfly and La fanciulla del West, amongst others. The album culminates with the mighty aria 'Nessun dorma', the indisputable ‘greatest-of-the-greats’, the most recognized aria amongst the general public, immortalized by the 3 Tenors’ concert in Rome, the day before the football world cup finale 1990.

Jonas couldn’t have a better team for this album – with celebrated Royal Opera House conductor Antonio Pappano directing his renowned Italian orchestra & choir of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.
