Pene Pati

For his debut on Warner Classics, Samoan tenor Pene Pati matches favourite showpiece arias with rarer operatic gems in a programme of Verdi, Rossini, Donizetti, Meyerbeer, Gounod and Benjamin Godard.

Pati has been called “a revelation … stunning for his generosity of voice, top notes of apparently invincible power, and alluring timbre, “ (Forum Opéra) and praised for his “gleaming, sensuous stream of sound” (San Francisco Chronicle). A singer of glowing lyricism who establishes an immediate rapport with his audience, Pati hopes that the album will leave listeners with a sense of “warmth, tenderness, and the sincerity of storytelling. To me, this is the essence of opera and the reason why I sing.”  He is joined by conductor Emmanuel Villaume and the Orchestre national Bordeaux Aquitaine.
