Date Released: 17th May 2008
Passion, revenge, honour and insane desire – the operas of Wagner and Strauss are extreme entertainment! There is nothing in music to equal them for sheer power and drama, and their leading women are towering figures, roles which only the cream of opera singers dare to undertake. Acclaimed Australian soprano Elizabeth Connell is magnificent in this superb album of mighty arias from the greatest operatic heroines of all time.
