PENE PATI

For his debut on Warner Classics Samoan tenor Pene Pati matches favourite showpiece arias with rarer operatic gems in a programme of Verdi Rossini Donizetti Meyerbeer Gounod and Benjamin Godard. Pati has been called quot;a revelation.. stunning for his generosity of voice top notes of apparently invincible power and alluring timbre quot; (Forum Opéra) and praised for his quot;gleaming sensuous stream of soundquot; (San Francisco Chronicle). A singer of glowing lyricism who establishes an immediate rapport with his audience Pati hopes that the album will leave listeners with a sense of quot;warmth tenderness and the sincerity of storytelling. To me this is the essence of opera and the reason why I sing.quot; He is joined by conductor Emmanuel Villaume and the Orchestre national Bordeaux Aquitaine. Album Tracks 1.
