Conductor Anthony Gabriele serves up colourful orchestral showpieces by Dvorák, Mascagni , Smetana and Verdi.
Soprano Kathleen Nic Dhiarmada delivers three of opera’s most affecting arias: the yearning of Dvorák’s ‘Song to the Moon’, Puccini’s amorously charged ‘Quando m’en vo’ from La bohème, and Verdi’s ravishing ‘È strano…ah fors’è lui…sempre libera’ from La Traviata. Liz Nolan presents a showcase of unabridged musical masterworks, featuring live recordings of Irish and international performers, plus selections from the latest CD releases.
