Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Italienisches Liederbuch

La mezzo-soprano Bernarda Fink et le pianiste Roger Vignoles ont proposé à l’Auditorium du Musée d’Orsay un récital qui clôturait la première année de l’Académie Orsay-Royaumont, dédiée à la mélodie et au lied.

Soutenus par l’irréprochable Helmut Deutsch, l'Italienisches liederbuch de Jonas Kaufmann et Diana Damrau babillait, roucoulait, allégeant considérablement le style au demeurant sophistiqué d’Hugo Wolf.

Gansch and Martineau fail to dazzle in an unchallenging programme of bucolic and playful Lieder.

They whistle, they compose, they parody and they certainly can play. If imitation is the highest form of flattery, then Amarcord Wien are kings of their realm.

The evening began on a fun note: Juliane Banse’s voice rang out in a pre-recorded message, reminding the audience that as far as she knew, cell phones and classical music did not generally mix. After a community chuckle, the audience applauded Banse, Bo Skovhus and Helmut Deutsch onto the stage, and then settled back into its seats for an evening of Hugo Wolf’s Italienisches Liederbuch.
