"Korngold's song cycle Einfache Lieder (Simple Songs) op. 9 for soprano and orchestra (1911–16) was a delightful surprise, especially thanks to the Israeli soprano Chen Reiss, who completely enchanted the audience with her pure silver voice, colourful singing and musicianship. Although she is a first-class opera diva, in Korngold she set aside any operatic over-expression and presented these lyrics of love and nature with understanding and nobility, and immaculate intonation. The Filharmonie Brno orchestra accompanied her with colour and dynamism, together achieving unforgettable moments that brought tears to my eyes."

"Contrary to some opinions, which hold that Schoenberg's music sounds so out of tune as to not require any accuracy – the sound world in Pierrot Lunaire is so tightly interlinked, that the voice, whether in full speech mode or the occasional permitted sung note, is vital to the harmony created by the chamber ensemble. The music isn’t accompanying the singer, it is creating Pierrot’s whole world, his thoughts and emotions. If the singer is wrong, it’s all wrong. We wouldn’t dream of misperforming a Schubert song, Bach cantata or Mozart aria; Pierrot needs to be learned, like any other piece." Claire Booth, soprano & Ensemble 360’s Pierrot Portraits is out now on Onyx Classics. Claire analyses Schoenberg's seminal work for The Guardian Guardian culture

The song cycle’s exploration of madness, death, s*x and trauma redefined music – and singing. But how do you hiss, whisper and sing at the same time?

More wonderful reviews for Axelle Fanyo - Soprano in her debut with Verdi's Requiem:

"Axelle Fanyo, l’étoile de la soirée à la voix puissante et agile, fait briller avec précision les différentes couleurs et nuances présentes dans le morceau [...] la soprano brille de nouveau, incarnant chaque note avec une expressivité fine et tendre." https://www.marie-celine.com/spectacle/requiem-de-verdi-grand-theatre-de-provence-jeremie-rhorer-cercle-de-l-harmonie/

"On est également totalement sous le charme d’Axelle Fanyo, la soprano française. Chaque note qu’elle interprète semble imprégnée d’une intention sincère. On est subjugué par tant d’expressivité." https://wukali.com/2024/11/14/le-requiem-de-verdi-par-le-cercle-de-lharmonie-dirige-par-jeremie-rhorer/31688/

"Following her terrific survey of Schoenberg’s songs with Christopher Glynn in May, Claire Booth, soprano offered another 150th birthday-present to the composer last month in the form of 'Pierrot Portraits' Onyx Classics: setting Pierrot lunaire alongside other depictions of the complex, melancholy clown, the album includes works by Thea Musgrave, Max Kowalski, Joseph Marx and Robert Schumann. Ahead of her Wigmore Hall recital this Friday (which will feature cabaret songs by Schoenberg, Weill and others), Claire spoke to Presto Music about why the figure of Pierrot exerted such a strong fascination on composers…

Ahead of her Wigmore Hall recital this Friday, the intrepid soprano discusses her second recording-contribution to Schoenberg's 150th anniversary year - an album which sets his Pierrot lunaire alongside other works inspired by the commedia dell'arte figure.

Superb reviews for Maestro Constantin Trinks for 'Die Frau ohne Schatten' at Staatsoper Unter den Linden:

"Under Constantin Trinks' direction, Strauss's three-act opera was revealed not as heavy and difficult, but light and relaxed, and that in any Strauss is a heavy and difficult task in itself. The cantilenas were flowing, true and confident in feeling and architecture. The same was true of the preludes and interludes. One might call it an inspired objectivity."
https://konzertkritikopernkritikberlin.blog/2024/11/03/licht-uberm-see-amme-wachst-du/

"Richard Strauss' monumental opera, under the gripping musical direction of Constantin Trinks. [...] Trinks conducted the Staatskapelle Berlin with great alertness, initially with restraint but over the course of the evening increasing in volume to an intoxicating fullness of sound, lyrical rapture and explosive drama, with equal attention to transparency and overwhelmingness."
https://onlinemerker.com/berlin-staatsoper-unter-den-linden-die-frau-ohne-schatten-musikalische-sternstunde-an-einem-politisch-weichenstellenden-tag/

"It was a special pleasure to hear the most intricate and weighty of Strauss’s operatic scores with a conductor, Constantin Trinks, who well understands how to keep the orchestral tumult tamed so that the singers get their words across - crucial in this wordy, occasionally obscure opera." https://substack.com/

Die Frau ohne Schatten ist ja eine klassische Doppelpaar-Oper, was schon bei Così fan tutte, Zauberflöte und Lohengrin funktionierte. Und die Amme ist eine der gewitztesten Intrigantinnen überhaupt…
