The famous Greek mezzo-soprano interprets 11 well known greek songs of Manos Hadjidakis, Mikis Theodorakis, Stavros Xarhakos and Vasilis Tsitsanis. The selection and the arrangements are of Stavros Xarhakos. The classical flavor of Baltsa's voice meets the superb bouzouki sound of Kostas Papadopoulos, creating a unique atmosphere. The album is a musical masterpiece. You will find included a booklet with the lyrics of all songs and comments by Stavros Xarhakos, in three languages.
Agnes Baltsa (Aγνή Mπάλτσα) (born 19 November 1944 in Lefkada) is a leading Greek mezzo-soprano. She began playing piano at the age of six, before moving to Athens in 1958 to concentrate on singing. She graduated from the Greek National Conservatoire in 1965 and then travelled to Munich to continue studying under a Maria Callas scholarship. Baltsa made her first appearance in an opera in 1968 as Cherubino in The Marriage of Figaro at Frankfurt Opera, before going on to appear as Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier at the Vienna State Opera in 1970. Under the guidance of Herbert von Karajan, she soon became a regular at the prestigious Salzburg Festival. She became Kammersängerin of the Vienna State Opera in 1980. Her most well known performance is that of Carmen by Georges Bizet, which she has sung a number of times with José Carreras. She has also sung works by Mozart (notably Così fan tutte), Rossini (Il Barbiere di Siviglia, La Cenerentola, L'italiana in Algeri), Mascagni (Cavalleria Rusticana), Verdi (Aida, La forza del destino, Il trovatore, Don Carlos), Bellini (I Capuleti e i Montecchi) and Donizetti (Il Campanello, Maria Stuarda). She also starred in the German film Duett in 1992, playing an opera singer.TRACKLIST
