A Journey, indeed. The versatile South African soprano Pretty Yende traverses a sea of emotions and moods on this impressive and personal collection of arias. Bellini’s “Respiro io qui…” is given a subtly powerful performance, as Yende reaches effortlessly into the stratosphere for the high notes and into thundering stillness for the quiet ones.
