THE RICHARD BONYNGE EDITION
Cherry Ripe: Vocal treasures of the 18th & 19th centuries

The last recording to be made by Deborah Riedel is a sumptuous collection of rare Italian, French and English arias from 18th and 19th centuries, many never before recorded. Whatever history’s verdict, this tuneful collection will appeal to all lovers of melody and with an outstanding contribution from Arcadia Lane Orchestra, it is difficult to imagine this fascinating journey into musical byways being more persuasively presented.
