Vocal Archives - CELESTINA BONINSEGNA The Recordings 1906-1908 (CD)

Description: Celestina Boninsegna (26 February 1877 – 13 February 1947) was an Italian operatic soprano, known for her interpretations of the heroines in Verdi's operas. She possessed a rich, resonant voice with a wide compass that was particularly suited to Verdi's music. In Italy in the 1900-1920 period, she was considered one of the finest interpreters of several Verdi heroines, including the title role in Aïda, Amelia in Un ballo in maschera, and Leonora in both Il trovatore and La forza del destino. Critics particularly admired her relatively smooth vocal delivery and the dignity and refinement that she gave to the vocal lines of the music at hand. Although particularly eminent in Verdi's works, she sang a wide repertoire during her 25-year career, including Rosaura in the world premiere of Mascagni's Le maschere. For her day, Boninsegna was a prolific recording artist. She recorded 106 sides, between 1904 and 1918, and achieved considerable success as a recording artist, being one of the first lyric-dramatic sopranos whose voice recorded well.
