Polish lyric soprano Alexsandra Kurzak has received international acclaim for her effortless coloratura, with Opera magazine even comparing her to Joan Sutherland.
Judging by this, her debut album, it is easy to see why.
A well-chosen programme of arias from Mozart to Moniuszko allows Ms Kurzak to show off her infectious personality and flawless technique.
Clearly she is a name to watch.
