Press Quotes
“All but two of Puccini’s operas are repertory staples. There isn’t a lot of vocal music
left to unearth from the well-loved composer of big, heart-on-your-sleeve melodies.
So this album of Puccini songs, presented in new orchestrations by Johannes X.
Schachtner, feels like stumbling upon a trove of undiscovered arias - a minor trove,
but a trove nevertheless. And some of the material was in fact recently rediscovered.” (NY Times, 25.01.2024, Oussama Zahr about CD BR-Klassik 900349)
