Diana Damrau - Arie di Bravura (2007)
While the real album art for this release is pretty terrible, the opposite could be said for Diana Damrau. One of my favorite Opera singers of all time, Damrau really shines when faced with even the most difficult of vocal solos. The so-called German 'voice-wreckers' give her no pause, and she sings through them with ease and always approaches these complex arias with interesting artistic interpretation. Truly she is a world-class Opera singer, and worth hearing even if Opera is not your main interest.
