Dan EttingerAbout
“Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. It's impossible to know whether Diana Damrau was born great, but on the evidence of her latest Virgin Classics disc of Mozart concert and opera arias, she has — without question — achieved greatness; surely few contemporary lyric coloraturas could handle this program, which ranges from the sprightly to the sublime, with Damrau's firm technical command, unaffected mastery of characterization and beauty of tone ... More, please.” Thus was the response of the magazine of New York’s Metropolitan Opera Guild, Opera News, to German soprano Diana Damrau’s previous Virgin Classics recital, Donna. In less effusive, though no less positive mode, the BBC Music Magazine’s critic stated that “I can’t remember when I last enjoyed a Mozart recital of this kind so much.” Among the accolades for Damrau’s first Virgin Classics recital, Arie di bravura by Salieri, Mozart and Righini was the highly prestigious Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik.
After two Virgin Classics recitals of 18th-century repertoire, this new collection moves forward to the 19th and 20th centuries, with repertoire ranging from Rossini and Verdi to Stravinsky and Bernstein, from comedy to tragedy and covering four languages: German, Italian, French and English. It includes Zerbinetta’s marathon coloratura aria from Ariadne auf Naxos, one of the operas which spearheaded Damrau’s international career.
“Diana Damrau is the most thrilling high soprano of our day.” - The Observer
“The point with Damrau ... is that she’s fearless, impressively unpredictable, and about as far as possible from being a ‘production line’ soprano.” - Classic FM magazine
