With “Seigneur”, Roberto Alagna delivers an album imbued with spirituality. Between faith, love and hope, the tenor pays a highly personal tribute to the immense cathedral of lyric art to which he regularly adds his stone.

Born of a desire for sharing and communion, extending a tour specially designed for churches and cathedrals, the recording presents a particularly original repertoire: mixing religious pieces with a selection of French and Italian songs of sacred inspiration, it combines music full of feeling, emotion and vitality. Through songs that speak to the soul – from Schubert’s and Bach-Gounod’s Ave Maria to the traditional “Fenesta che luciva” and “Bella Ciao”, from Léo Ferré’s “Avec le temps” to “La Valse de l’Espérance”, not forgetting landmark recreations such as “Seigneur, ne me laisse pas” and “Madone au cœur d’or” – Roberto Alagna reveals himself and transports us.

“Seigneur” is also the album of an artistic connection, where all the spontaneity of the passionate trio formed by Roberto Alagna and his two accomplices, guitarist and songwriter Jean-Félix Lalanne and pianist Marek Ruszczyński, shines through. With palpable joy, the three are back in the studio but recording entirely under live conditions. In all simplicity, they deliver a concentration of emotions and commune with beauty.

Roberto Alagna offers the album of a “re-birth”. It is born from his happiness to become a father for the second time and from the deepest feelings that his little Malèna’s coming into the world revived in him. The album is the fruit of what she inspired to him: a strong desire to give as one gives life, to pass on and share.

With his pure, natural, sunny voice, the most famous French tenor gives us an album that he considers both his most ‘intimate and personal’ and ‘as universal as can be’. Shaped with raw, visceral, sincere emotions, these songs resonate deep down in each of us and are immediately understood. By all.

Unforeseen and born out of unique circumstances, this is a unique record. This is the first album I have made devoted entirely to French song. I think this is no more than my French listeners deserve. We have made numerous journeys together, from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to South America with Pasión, from Italy to the United States with Little Italy, but I thought it was finally time to play the music of our own native land, too. Thats why I am dedicating this album in its entirety to French song, but with a twist. Between the lines, as it were, in this repertoire, I have sought to highlight all the variety of genres and influences from near and far that are now intrinsic elements of French musical identity and heritage. As many are no doubt aware, I am passionate about different musical cultures from all over the world. As we explore the French repertoire, we shall make many musical discoveries on our travels…

Superstar tenor, Roberto Alagna, returns with his sensational new album Caruso. Caruso 1873 is Alagna’s tribute to the Neapolitan singer who Alagna considers to be the greatest tenor of all time. Alagna honours his legendary predecessor with a selection of repertoire drawn from Caruso’s own recording career, which stretched from 1902 to 1920. Alagna is accompanied by the critically acclaimed Orchestre National D’ile-de-France, singers Aleksandra Kurzak and Rafal Siwek and conductor, pianist and arranger, yvan Cassar. The music chosen is a journey back in time through Caruso’s eclectic repertoire. It showcases his personality and is blended with Alagna’s own favourites. The album offers many surprises and stretches from Handel and Pergolesi to verismo composers including Cilea and Leoncavallo, contemporaries of Caruso who wrote music for him. Puccini is represented by “Vecchia zimarra”, the bass Colline’s aria from La bohème which – as legend has it – Caruso once sang on stage standing in for an ailing colleague in perfect subterfuge. Caruso (1873—1921) was an Italian operatic tenor. Caruso was one of the first major singing talents to be commercially recorded.
