    GRAMOPHONE: From Where I Sit – August 2019

    By Edward / 14/08/2019

    GRAMOPHONE Review: Sol y Vida – Elīna Garanča, Gran Canaria Philharmonic Orchestra/Chichon

    By Edward / 17/07/2019

    So it’s vacation time for the Latvian mezzo. Sun, sea, and seduction. True love may never run smooth but it always sounds better in Spanish or Italian. Garanca’s selection of flamboyant Mediterranean and Latin American songs is…

    GRAMOPHONE: From Where I Sit – June 2019

    By Edward / 14/06/2019
