The tenor Jonathan Tetelman has signed an exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon, the first fruit of which is a solo album called, simply, 'Arias'. James Jolly caught up with him by video call as the tenor prepared for a concert in Stockholm. They spoke last week, the day 'Arias' was released.

For 'Arias', Jonathan Tetelman was joined by the Orquesta Filarmonica De Gran Canaria conducted by Karel Mark Chichon in some of Italian and French opera's favourite numbers, including a role Tetelman has performed to great acclaim, Paolo in Riccardo Zandonai's Francesca da Rimini.
