Serena Saenz- Birds
On this debut album by soprano Serena Sáenz, she focuses her song selection on these musical adaptations of birdsong in operatic arias, inviting listeners on a journey through the centuries by combining the most diverse musical traditions and cultures and transporting them to a world of timeless beauty. With it's intelligently selected repertoire, the album offers a broad spectrum at the highest musical level, invites listeners into a world of emotions and metaphors and connects cultures.
