About
"The soprano Ania Vegry, was nominated by Opernwelt as the Young Artist of the Year in 2009 and has been an ensemble member at the State Opera of Lower Saxony in Hanover since 2007. The Onlie Musik Magazine certifies that 'her soprano voice, most highly fluent in the coloratura possesss warmth and substance, expressive power, and flawless intonation' – which makes her the ide choic for the rich affections of the arias of Florian Leopold Gassmann, an Austrian composer on the cusp between the Baroque and Early Classicism. The musical settings heard on this recording include arias belonging to the genre of the opera seria (the Italian-language serious opera of the eighteenth century) and exit arias in da capo form. The text is bursting with emotional excitement, which Gassmann sets in a relaxed tone and with long coloraturas composed with fine art."
