Taking its title, Nessun Dorma, from the greatest tenor hit of them all, Pene Pati’s second album balances favourite numbers with operatic rarities – one of them in world premiere recording. In addition to Puccini, the Italian composers are Verdi, Donizetti, Mascagni and Mercadante, while the French school is represented by Berlioz, Meyerbeer, Gounod, Massenet, Halévy and Guiraud. Joining the Samoan tenor on the album are his soprano wife, Amina Edris, his tenor brother Amitai Pati, conductor Emmanuel Villaume, the Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine and the Choeur de l’Opéra National de Bordeaux.
“It’s always a delicate process to put together an album that tells your story as an artist, and captures your growth as a musician and your trajectory as a singer,” writes Pene Pati. “Nessun Dorma showcases my love of the art of storytelling and the emotions it can elicit … As you listen to this album, I hope it takes you on an emotional journey.”
