Anna Caterina Antonacci soprano
Donald Sulzen piano

Anna Caterina Antonacci’s enchanting recital entitled L’alba separa dalla luce l’ombra (Dawn divides the light from the shadows) delves into a colourful landscape of French and Italian art song. She explores the rich tonal and emotional contrasts of works spanning almost three centuries, with deeply engaging interpretations throughout.

Antonacci is famed for her profound and vivid appearances both on the opera stage and recital platform, and this recording manages to capture her spellbinding, dramatic performance and her ability to give clear voice to the varied, ever-shifting psychological states portrayed through this emotional programme.
