José Carreras, the renowned tenor, presents "Carreras Vol. 2," a captivating collection of operatic masterpieces released on October 1, 2011, under the ICENI label. This album is a testament to Carreras' extraordinary vocal prowess and his deep connection with the operatic repertoire. Spanning a duration of one hour, the album features a diverse array of arias and songs, showcasing Carreras' versatility and emotional depth.
From the passionate "Nessun Dorma" from Puccini's "Turandot" to the tender "Dovunque al Mondo" from "Madama Butterfly," Carreras navigates through a rich tapestry of musical styles and languages. The album also includes lesser-known gems like "Chiquitita la Novia" by Obradors and "Il Giuramento" by Mercadante, offering a fresh perspective on the operatic canon.
Carreras' interpretation of these pieces is marked by his signature warmth and technical brilliance. Whether he is delivering the soaring high notes of "Recondita Armonia" from "Tosca" or the delicate phrasing of "L'alba Separa Dalla Luce l'ombra" by Tosti, his voice remains a powerful and expressive instrument. This album is not just a showcase of Carreras' vocal abilities but also a celebration of the timeless beauty of opera.
