The Art of Bryn Terfel

The Art of Bryn Terfel

2013

Ever since winning the Lieder Prize at the 1989 Cardiff Singer of the World competition, baritone Bryn Terfel has become a household name, mainly due to his effortless and consistently world-class embracing of a wide range of repertoire. In addition to giving us a flavour of his operatic prowess in arias by Wagner and Mozart, this wide-ranging retrospective also shows us his more intimate side with Welsh folk songs, masses, hymns, musicals, Lieder, operetta and oratorio, all plucked from a variety of past albums. A precious insight into a giant of the stage.
