Signum Classics are proud to present superstar soprano Angela Gheorghiu’s first album on the Grammy-award winning label. Described as “the world’s most glamorous and gifted opera star” (New York Sun), Ms Gheorghiu’s magnificent voice and dazzling stage presence have established her as a unique international opera superstar. Her new album, released to mark the 100th anniversary of Giacomo Puccini’s death, brings together a collection of little-known songs spanning his entire career. The album features a world premiere recording of the recently rediscovered song “Melanconia”. It also includes songs that Puccini used as inspiration in his famous operas, such as “Sole e amore”, “Mentia l’avviso”, “Sogno d’or” and “Morire?”. Other notable works on the recording are “Salve Regina” and the title track “A te” composed by Puccini at just 16 years old.
