케이트 린지가 부르는 헨델, 하이든, 스카를라티
* 연주: 케이트 린지(메조 소프라노), 아르칸젤로, 조나단 코엔(지휘) 메트로폴리탄 오페라, 빈 슈타츠오퍼, 로열 코벤트 가든, 바이에른 슈타츠오퍼 등 세계 정상급 오페라 무대를 석권하며 일약 세계적 디바로 떠오른 케이트 린지가 부르는 헨델, 하이든, 스카를라티의 아리아. 아리아나를 주제로 세 작곡가의 칸타타를 묶었다. 사랑하는 연인에게 버림받은 아리아나(아리아드네)는 몬테베르디에서 R.슈트라우스에게 이르기까지 서양음악사 전반에 걸쳐 수많은 작곡가들에게 영감을 준 소재이다. 린지는 절망과 비탄에 빠진 아리아나의 감정을 눈부신 가창과 열정적인 표현력으로 들추어낸다. 세 작곡가의 작품에 따라 차이를 보이는 아리아나의 각기 다른 심리 묘사는 특히 탁월하다. Record Review 14th March 2020 Record of the Week BBC Music Magazine April 2020 Choral & Song Choice BBC Music Magazine April 2020 Ardent, brilliant, stately: mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey probes the inner states of the mythical Cretan princess Ariadne…Cohen adds hugely to these performances, in the Haydn especially. Cohen takes risks with his tempos and dynamics, and by allowing the instrumentalists to sometimes push Lindsey aside; these pay off in many striking moments, for instance when Haydn’s heroine overtakes the band to sprint to her final cadence. Forget victimhood ? here, Ariadne wins. Gramophone Magazine February 2020 Her strong and assured voice slips easily into this music…and throughout she shows impressive technical control and agility. More strikingly, though, she brings her stage experience to bear in dramatic readings whose intelligent responses to the differing nuances of these three pieces are what really make the project spark...The playing of Arcangelo under Jonathan Cohen is typically high-quality, and often heartbreakingly attendant to the drama. Sunday Times 2nd February 2020 Lindsey sings [the Haydn] and cantatas by Scarlatti and Handel (based on music for the opera Agrippina) with vehemence in recitative and plush tone in the several arias. The Observer 2nd February 2020 With playing of verve and style by Arcangelo, this rewarding album offers a fine platform for Lindsey, pure-voiced, pliant, expressive - and versatile. The Times 31st January 2020 A marvellous vehicle for Lindsey’s dramatic gifts and chameleon skill in changing colours as these emotional rollercoasters sweep on...Whatever the music’s mood, Lindsey gives 100 per cent commitment to every word and note. Opera Now March 2020 Lindsey demonstrates her emotional range to perfection. Jonathan Cohen’s conducting is hugely supportive and the recording shows a real partnership between soloist and players.
