Barbara Bonney

Barbara Bonney is widely recognised as a superlative recital and concert artist and as one of the great Mozart singers of her generation. Her "Sophie" in Strauss’ Rosenkavalier is legendary. She has been praised for her radiant tone and the engaging warmth of her personality, as well as for her stylistic versatility in a broad repertoire that ranges from the Baroque to 20th century music. She has made over 90 recordings with Decca, DGG, EMI, and Teldec, with the most important conductors and orchestras in the world today.

Schoenberg: Moses und Aron

Schoenberg: Moses und Aron


Franz Mazura, Philip Langridge, Aage Haugland, Barbara Bonney, Mira Zakai, Daniel Harper, Thomas Dymit & Herbert Wittges

Chicago Symphony Chorus & Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Sir Georg Solti

Recorded - Orchestra Hall, Chicago, May 1984

"Solti gives Schoenberg's masterly score a dynamism and warmth which set it firmly - if perhaps surprisingly - in the grand romantic tradition ... As Aaron, Philip Langridge is lighter and more lyrical ... Aage Haugland with his firm, dark bass makes his mark in the small role of the Priest; Barbara Bonney too is excellent as the Young Girl. Above all, the brilliant singing of the Chicago Symphony Chorus matches the playing of the orchestra in virtuosity. More than ever the question-mark concluding Act II makes a pointful close, with no feeling of a work unfinished. The brilliant recording has an even sharper focus on CD." The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs

“Superbly recorded and played under the baton of Georg Solti, this suffers from soloists who are too approximate and often two close. The crown scenes, however, are thrilling.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2007 ***
