Bel canto! It’s Italian for “beautiful song” - and it’s what this album is all about! Bel canto implies beauty and purity of tone, and vocal agility - and with this album you get it all, and much more. As you listen, you hear a singer so technically in control of her voice, yet sings with fresh and easy spontaneity. There’s a definite maturity in the voice, and with it a new richness and luminosity.

And the trills- how they thrill!

Vivica takes her art to new heights. She sings the defining roles of her young and fast-rising career with great joy and passion, indeed, as you’ve never heard them sung before - to the orchestral accompaniment by John Nelson and the Ensemble Orchestral de Paris, which is no less inspired.
