“Re-Joyce”.
- The Best of Joyce DiDonato.
Joyce DiDonato is seen throughout the world of music as one of the most technically secure, and dramatically strong operatic singing actresses before the public today.
In her work as a recital artist, she is a terrific communicator, not only through her singing but also with her warm talks with her audience. That sense of camaraderie with her audience and her legions of fans comes through in this 2 – CD release of the favorites of performances gathered from the past ten years of Joyce DiDonato’s recordings and performances.
