"Recording of the month: This is a hugely enjoyable and unusually satisfying and engaging operatic recital from a singer at the top of his game - a superb album that does Signor Gaetano himself proud"

Vurdering: 4/5

"Recording of the month: The three concluding scenes from Marino Faliero, Caterina Cornaro and Rosmonda d'Inghilterra offers splendid opportunities for Camarena to exhibit his brilliant height. And so he does with elegance, seemingly effortlessly and unwavering steadiness and accuracy. With Donizetti specialist Riccardo Frizza in the pit and excellent work from the orchestral and choral forces this is a valuable addition to the Donizetti catalogue and a magnificent full-size portrait of a truly great bel canto artist. Don't miss this one!"

"Recording of the week: With his sweet, warm timbre (rounder and less astringent than that of his slightly older contemporary Juan Diego Flórez) and endearing stage-presence, Camarena is ideal casting for Donizetti's wide-eyed comic heroes - but it's a thrilling shock to the system to hear him unsheath the vocal steel that lurks within the velvet in the more dramatic roles here, especially once the high Cs, Ds and even E flats start flying"
