This enormously enjoyable debut solo recording from the Armenian mezzo comes courtesy of Decca’s ‘Mentored by Bartoli’ series, and Abrahamyan certainly shares the Roman diva’s effervescence and vocal flexibility. Her Rossini is scintillating stuff, but she’s no one-trick-pony: there’s impressive poise and gravitas in Brahms’s Alto Rhapsody, and her Dalila has attitude and amplitude in spades.
