For Immediate Release - Tenor Lawrence Brownlee follows up his previous Grammy-nominated release on Delos (Virtuoso Rossini Arias) with a new collection of opera arias by Gaetano Donizetti and Vincenzo Bellini.

Lesser-known works featured are Donizetti’sRita, La Favorite, and Dom Sébastien.

As with his previous Grammy-nominated Rossini release, Brownlee’s collaborators are Constantine Orbelian and Lithuania’s Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra – with added support this time from the Kaunas State Choir.
