Anna Netrebko is an opera director's dream, with a face and figure that's as pleasing to the eye as her voice is to the ear. And, if that were not enough, she's got charisma, too. Of course, on a recording one has only one's aural senses to go on, but something of the Russian-born soprano's magnetic personality and striking physical presence come through on this, her first solo album. Her Manon (in Massenet's eponymous opera) is not merely a coquette, for example, but a magically sensuous charmer. Her Donna Anna (in Mozart's Don Giovanni), on the other hand -- recorded following triumphant performances of the role at the Salzburg Festival -- is sung with touching fragility; it's a far cry from the Brünnhilde-like dramatics one often encounters in this role. For a taste of her theatrical acumen and flair, turn to "Regnava nel silenzio" (from Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor), where she darkens her tone and makes the most of the poor heroine's haunted and haunting narrative. Though this is her debut, DG has given Netrebko the royal treatment, with accompaniment by the venerable Vienna Philharmonic under conductor Gianandrea Noseda. Lighter-voiced singers like Netrebko rarely have the opportunity to achieve box office–smashing successes, but here's betting that this lyric soprano is destined for true diva-dom.

Here is one of the best of the younger generation, faithfully recorded and notably well accompanied by the VPO under Noseda. John Steane

The entire recital bears the mark of an old-fashioned diva, with a Fach-defying mix of chestnuts and rarities, material the young Netrebko already has honed on stage. She applies her larger-than-life vocalism, dramatic sureness and finely detailed phrasing to just nine arias, but each one seems to undergo a personal spa treatment, resulting in a succession of gorgeous richly finished, gleaming jewels.

Be forewarned: Netrebko can be habit-forming. Joe Banno

[Netrebko] is a superbly gifted artist with a capacity to grow and mature.... In this recital debut, she has benefited from an outstanding orchestral support and knowing direction from Gianandrea Noseda. George Jellinek
