New Recording of I Puritani with Lawrence Brownlee and Sarah Coburn on Delos
Coming to Delos on August 20, 2021
Bellini: I Puritani
Starring Lawrence Brownlee, Sarah Coburn, and Constantine Orbelian directing the Kaunas City Symphony and Kaunas State Choir
This stellar production features a pair of operatic superstars, namely GRAMMY®-nominated tenor Lawrence Brownlee and soprano supreme Sarah Coburn, who continually appear in the lead roles in top houses worldwide. The remaining characters are beautifully portrayed by distinguished singers from Lithuania and Kazakhstan. Providing brilliant and sensitive choral-orchestral support is the GRAMMY®-nominated Maestro Constantine Orbelian (“the singer’s dream collaborator”) leading the Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra and the Kaunas State Choir. In June 2021, Orbelian was named Music Director and Principal Conductor of New York City Opera.
Bellini’s I Puritani is considered by many to offer the most beautiful music among some of his best-known operas, several of which are sublime masterpieces of the spectacular bel canto style of singing.
Joining Lawrence Brownlee and Sarah Coburn are Azamat Zheltyrguzov, Tadas Girininkas, Liudas Norvaišas, Tomas Pavilionis, and Jovita Vaškevičiūtė.
