Transfiguration is Camilla Nylund’s much-awaited first album of arias. It captures the Finnish soprano's multi-faceted art with famous arias and scenes from operas by Richard Strauss and Richard Wagner, including the grueling final scenes from Tristan und Isolde and from Salome. These arias reflect the lyrical and dramatic facets of the acclaimed singer's current roles at such venues as Staatsoper Dresden, Vienna State Opera, and Bayreuther Festspiele. The Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra is here led by their chief conductor Hannu Lintu. ( ONDINE )
