Stor svensk sopran
Vi kan roligt sige at Lisa Larsson er den fineste svenske sopran i dag. Hun er international berømt og hendes musikalitet er uovertruffen. Her er en indspilning af værker for sopran og orkester af Hector Berlioz, bla. den sjældne La Captive opus 12. Det mest kendte værk er La mort de Cléopâtre som Larsson gør aldeles gribende. Den flotte super audio cd har en perfekt balance mellem sopran og orkester.

Before winning the Prix de Rome in 1830 with the cantata La mort de Sardanapale, Hector Berlioz had already submitted failed attempts in the form of La mort d'Orphée (1827), Herminie (1828) and La mort de Cléopâtre (1829). The Scene Lyrique »Herminie« is set to a text by Pierre-Ange Vieillard which was inspired by Tasso’s »Gerusalemme liberata’, an epic set during the Crusades. Winning the Prix de Rome allowed Berlioz to spend two years in the Eternal City, and during this period he wrote the song »La Captive«. La Mort de Cléopatre bears no opus number and was not published until many years after the composer’s death. It has however in recent years become a favourite showcase for soprano and mezzo-soprano voices.
During her first engagements at the Zurich Opera, Lisa Larsson worked with conductors such as Franz Welser-Möst and Nikolaus Harnoncourt. After her debut with Riccardo Muti at La Scala di Milano, she quickly established herself internationally, in particular as a Mozart interpreter. Equally at home on the concert platform, Lisa Larsson is internationally renowned for her diversity and artistry. Her substantial discography includes Richard Strauss’ Four Last Songs with conductor Douglas Boyd, Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 with David Zinman, Mozart’s Don Giovanni with Daniel Harding, and Mitridate under Adam Fischer, as well as numerous Bach Cantatas with Sir John Eliot Gardiner and Ton Koopman. With the latter she has also recorded Bach’s Christmas and Easter Oratorios, and Magnificat. |
