CD Album
Baritone Bo Skovhus records landmark operatic roles on Arias, his first recording with full orchestra for Sony Classical. Quickly becoming one of the classical world's most acclaimed young vocalists, Skovhus brings together an unusual and compelling program of baritone arias for this album, culled from both well-known and more obscure operas with the accompaniment of Maestro James Conlon and the English National Opera Orchestra. Overall, this collection shows the unexplored durability of the baritone repertoire and reveals a singer at the top of his form.

Skovhus made his highly-anticipated Metropolitan Opera debut in December 1998 in a new production of Die Feldermaus. Hear the voice that USA Today calls "a major talent" on this exceptional album.
