If you want to quickly record a handful of years of studio work, sign up with soprano Simone Kermes and a deeply personal album with stylistic range. La Luce unites Baroque operatic art, classical concert arias, and the sonorous worlds of 20th-century film music into a carefully orchestrated panorama of light and shadow. Kermes is accompanied by the Warsaw Chamber Opera Orchestra under the musical direction of Julien Salemkour.
