DAZ NUANCE Divaria (Origin Records) Divaria is 'opera meets Vangelis'. Daz Nuance's main member is the very talented musician/composer Andrew Thomas Wilson, who shares musical similarities to Vangelis. If you have enjoyed Malcolm McLaren's Waltz Darling then you might find Divaria a pleasurable compliment. There are some beautiful aria's included, and they are Jules Messenet's 'Le Poeme De La Mer' (lyrics adapted from a poem by Arthur Rimbaud), G Caccini's classic 'Ave Maria', and Puccini's delightful 'Nessun Dorma' (from the opera 'Turandot'); all performed by Australia's premier opera-Diva Karen Cummings (soprano). 'Blue Romance' is very moody and seductive, and features contralto Justine Bradley. The beautiful 'Rigatoni Southern' is an instrumental featuring acoustic guitarist Floyd Vincent. Other guest musicians include Marty Hill on saxophone, and Mikhael Bukovsky on trumpet. Divaria's title is a play on two words i.e. Diva-Aria, and is a seriously cool album for wining, dining, and cafe atmosphierics.Gazz Click on album image to see larger album cover
