Here’s a round-robin from the head of opera at the music conservatoire of Vienna:
Dear friends all over the world.
I would like to wish you all the very best and also let you know that apart of my every day enjoyment and success as a Head of Opera Department at the Vienna Conservatorium I had the privilege to sing and record with the worlds finest lyric soprano, Albanian Inva Mula.
Her new Cd “Il Bel Sogno” was released from EMI at the beginning of this September and has already reached her unnumbered fans and listeners around the world. I am so grateful to Inva to choose me to back her in Violeta’s aria, over the best tenors in the world she works with.
But I am also proud of her new achievement bringing to the world another level of operatic art.
At the same time I would like to thank all who are sending me messages and their sympathy about my singing.
I invite you to share together this Albanian Diva and wish her more great successes.
Yours truly
Agim Hushi
The album is newly out on EMI: judge for yourselves. I quite liked what I heard here
