An invocation – a prayer, plea, appeal, entreaty or supplication – can take many forms. So can Elsa Dreisig, praised by Gramophone as “one of her generation’s most eloquent and engaging singers”. Since 2015, when she first gained international attention, the Paris-born soprano has given ample proof of the breadth and diversity of her talent, in the opera house and concert hall, and with her recordings for Erato. On Invocation she sings 15 arias and two songs – from ‘greatest hits’ to rarities – written by 14 composers to texts in six languages. She performs with conductor Massimo Zanetti and the Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro Carlo Felice di Genova.
