Amanda Roocroft (soprano) & Malcolm Martineau (piano) Recorded at Champs Hill, England April/July 2007 "If you are lucky, a song recitalist will take you to the edge of an inner world. A select few know how to draw you in further. And then there’s Amanda Roocroft. Her peachy soprano may be what we hear, but it is her heart that does the singing… This recital revealed Roocroft at the peak of her powers – a fully matured artist who combines technical and interpretative control with emotional freedom…. Such sincerity of feeling is only possible from someone who has lived a life. The striking quality about “None but the lonely heart” was the manner in which art concealed art – one of Roocroft’s golden charms. ..A rapturous “Ständchen”… impossible not to be swept along by “Heimliche Aufforderung”, and the ecstatic ardour of “Befreit” was overwhelming. Roocroft understands that the essence of the art song is not its outer beauty of form but its inner depth of feeling. She is a national treasure." (Financial Times on her 2007 recital - 25 May 2007) “A warm voice and an involved accompanist grace this enjoyable recital.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2008 “…there are certainly some five-star performances here - and Strauss's relatively unfamiliar 'Glückes genug' hints that she may make an Arabella of ideal candour and dignity.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2008 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Steve Davislim (tenor) Orchestra Victoria, Simone Young A deluxe edition re-mastered and remixed for SACD surround sound from the original acclaimed recording made in 1999. CD received glowing reviews and is in the Gramophone Best CDs and DVDs Yearbook. Steve Davislim is a highly sought after Australian tenor based in Vienna who has established a stellar international career working with the most prestigious orchestras and conductors in Europe, the USA and Australia. Davislim’s voice is full of colour and warmth and informed in every note by an all too rare combination of intelligence and imagination: “it’s almost enough to make you believe in God” St Petersburg Times. Recording debut of Australian-born Simone Young, recognised as one of the leading conductors of her generation and Music Director of Hamburg State Opera. First of a series of five CDs that Steve Davislim is making with Melba, including Schubert’s song-cycle Winterreise and the world premiere recording of Saint-Saëns’ 1-act opera Hélène. CD notes by distinguished Strauss biographer Michael Kennedy. Digipak with picture disc and 30-page colour booklet with essay and aria translations. “An outstanding recital by an excellent young tenor singing superb Strauss… [Davislim] is worth being spoken of in the same breath as his notable predecessors – Peter Anders and Fritz Wunderlich – praise can hardly be higher than that.” Gramophone
“The years drop off Richard Strauss... in this new disc of his orchestrated songs... [Davislim’s] lithe, rhythmically and verbally alert tenor has the red blood surging from the start...” BBC Music Magazine (on Original CD Release) |
