Jonas Kaufmann (tenor), Ludovic Tézier (baritone), Sonya Yoncheva (soprano)
Bayerisches Staatsorchester, Bertrand de Billy
Kaufmann is a consummate artist who rethinks everything that he sings…You can almost forgive the hooded, crooner-like tone that [he] favours when his characters are interrogating their souls.... —

This welcome album is the outcome of Sonya Yoncheva’s fascination with Sand, and feels like a labour of love...the musical highlight is Yoncheva’s singing of ‘Faible coeur!’, one of Viardot... —

Sonya Yoncheva - Verdi
RecommendedSonya Yoncheva (soprano)
Munich Radio Symphony Orchestra, Massimo Zanetti
‘Salgo già del trono aurato’ is thrilling, even if the final top note spreads. She’s also a touching Leonora in Il trovatore…That slight burr in the tone that Eastern European sopranos produce... —

Handel: Sonya Yoncheva
Sonya Yoncheva (soprano), Karine Deshayes (mezzo)
Academia Montis Regalis, Alessandro de Marchi

Sofia Fomina trills like a canary as the mechanical doll, Christine Rice is darkly beguiling as Giulietta and Sonya Yoncheva’s Antonia would melt a heart of stone. Kate Lindsey’s Nicklausse... —
