About

Rene Pape’s solo debut for DG gives an overview of the roles that have made his career, plus a few rarities.

Accompanied by the Dresden Staatskapelle under Sebastian Weigle, Pape performs his signature piece: King Mark’s monologue from Tristan und Isolde, as well as arias from Gounod’s Faust (the role of Méphistophélès), Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov and wonderful arias of the rarely performed Demon (Rubinstein) among others.

René Pape is an artist who thrills his audiences with charisma, intelligence and a one-in-a-million voice.” - Opera News

The operatic roles on this album have to a large extent been performed by Pape to the highest critical acclaim in the world’s major opera houses, from the Metropolitan Opera to the Berlin Staatsoper.

As Pape’s first solo recording and his DG solo debut, this album is long overdue and is eagerly awaited not only by the music press but also by the singer’s international fan base.
