Amata dalle tenebre

Amata dalle tenebre
The voice is weighty, muscular and so dark-hued as to be almost contralto-like in timbre; the characterisation is never less than forthright...There is no doubting Netrebko’s musical commitment,...

Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

Christmas 2021

The voice is weighty, muscular and so dark-hued as to be almost contralto-like in timbre; the characterisation is never less than forthright...There is no doubting Netrebko’s musical commitment, though some roles fit better than others. She is commanding as Elisabetta (Don Carlo), a role she added to her stage repertoire only last year, and in the meaty German roles.
4 out of 5 stars

5th November 2021

there are some hugely exciting performances, like the Tchaikovsky, Verdi’s Aida and Don Carlo, and a scorchingly intense death-scene from Puccini’s Manon Lescaut.

By and large the Wagner and Strauss items are well schooled with a decent grasp of language and character, even if they do not rival the best stylists of the past.

November 2021

She’s in her element [as Manon Lescaut], as she is with Tchaikovsky’s Lisa, where the voice sounds beautiful and the emotional trajectory is wonderfully plotted and detailed.

10th November 2021

She’s excellent as the juicy heroine of Manon Lescaut, while as Lisa, the thwarted romantic of Tchaikovsky’s The Queen of Spades, she’s superb. This is one track where our star is absolutely at home, at one with the text, the language and every twist in the music’s emotions…A hit-and-miss album impossible to ignore.

Limelight Magazine 8th November 2021

the sole Russian aria, Uzh polnoch’ blizitsya from Pique Dame, is one of the album’s undisputed highlights. Netrebko has always been highly effective in her native Russian, and she brings so much colour and nuance to this excerpt that you wonder why she doesn’t perform this repertoire more. She’s magisterial and heartbreaking in equal measure.
