A masterpiece of expressiveness and virtuosic performance. This album combines Marina Rebeka’s thrilling singing, dramatic Bel Canto music based on original manuscripts, and Jader Bignamini’s nuanced conducting of the Teatro Massimo di Palermo Orchestra and Chorus. With SPIRITO, Marina Rebeka enchants us once again with her distinctive voice and irresistible personality. Raising the bar after her acclaimed album “Amor Fatale”, she has handpicked some of the most challenging pieces of the dramatic Bel Canto repertoire and performed them with a formidable facility.

Her deep understanding and mastery of the style, matched by an outstanding vocal technique, shed a new and refreshing light on these timeless masterpieces.

For this album, as she did for “Amor Fatale”, Marina Rebeka traveled the world in search of the original manuscripts of each piece, faithfully rendering the composers’ first ideas in this recording. Additionally, and following the longstanding tradition of Bel Canto singers, she wrote her own variations of the soprano parts.
