Juan Diego Florez:

Besame Mucho

Tenor star Juan Diego Flórez's passion for Latin American music started at an early age, when he was still a child. It was a deep and lasting passion and his initial encounter with it turned into a lifelong passion. "I grew up with vals criollos, Marineras, boleros, rancheras and tangos, magnificent songs from Latin America," he says. Now, he documents his love for Latin American music on a very personal album, Bésame Mucho, available now from Sony Classical.

Juan Diego Florez:

Mozart

Acclaimed across the globe for the beauty of his voice, the emotional power of his performances, and his extraordinarily dazzling high notes, the Peruvian superstar tenor Juan Diego Flórez has so far in his career focussed almost exclusively on the masterpieces of the bel canto repertoire by Rossini, Donizetti and Bellini, and others. Now, in his eagerly awaited debut recording for Sony Classical, he turns his attention to a composer with whose works his talents also have an ideal relationship.‘I've always wanted to do it, but now is the time. I finally feel I'm ready to convey the expressiveness, the simplicity, the universality – in short, the magic - of Mozart.'

Juan Diego Florez:

Italia

Following 2014's ecstatically-received album of French songs, Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Flórez now takes the listener to Italy with a recording of popular Italian songs. The album – released on September 25, 2015 – includes many new arrangements and was recorded in the Italian seaside resort of Fano, adding extra depth to its authentic flavor. Flórez is joined on several tracks by fellow artists Avi Avital, Ksenija Sidorova and Craig Ogden.

Juan Diego Flórez was raised to the beguiling sounds of Neapolitan and Italian popular songs, joyful, sun-kissed compositions filled with life and love. The superstar Peruvian tenor, hailed by the New York Times as "king of the bel canto repertory", drew from these formative experiences while making his latest solo album for Decca. Italia summons up the spirit of sultry summer evenings by the sea. It contains such classics as O sole mio, Non ti scordar di me, Mattinata and Torna a Surriento, including several in arrangements made for Flórez's idol and mentor Luciano Pavarotti, and a sublime performance of Amore marinaro, one of Donizetti's finest Neapolitan songs. Flórez joins the illustrious company of operatic tenors Caruso, Gigli, Del Monaco and Pavarotti among them, whose recordings have secured a vast global audience for Italy's canzone popolare.

L'Amour

Bel canto superstar Juan Diego Flórez releases his first solo album in four years. Slated for release on April 15, 2014 for Decca/Universal Music Classics, L'Amour is Flórez's first all-French album: a stunning collection of favorite arias and rare treasures providing the perfect showcase for the new vocal riches to be heard from Flórez. Still the undisputed King of the High C's, Flórez's vocal palette has become richer and rounder, ideally suited to the romantic world of French opera.
