Jonas Kaufmann, 50 Great Arias

Jonas Kaufmanns matchless charisma and effortless physicality enable him to embody a broad range of characters onstage. These discs make clear, however, that Kaufmanns acting emerges above all in his voice. Through acute interpretative intelligence and deeply affecting dramatic involvement, every gradation of feeling is revealed. Whether in French, German, or Italian, this is one of the most communicative singers of our time.
