Kiri te Kanawa

Soprano

Kiri te Kanawa

Blessed with one of the most beautiful soprano voice of her generation, this New Zealand native has been featured on countless Decca recordings ranging from opera to popular song. She has given us her immortal ‘Desdemona’ in Verdi’s "Otello" (with Solti and Pavarotti) Mozart’s Countess in Figaro, two Strauss heroines, "Arabella" and "Capriccio" and a variety of oratorios and recitals. Though she hinted that her famous 50th birthday concert recorded on Decca would signal the swansong of her career, Dame Kiri (as is the prerogative of any soprano!) has to everyone’s delight decided "not yet" and continues to concertise and sing opera around the world.

Kiri Te Kanawa

Dame Kiri’s voice is multi-tracked. ‘Nine versions of me,’ explains the New Zealand superstar. ‘We call it the Kiri Chorus!’ Jenkins found the results fascinating. ‘We’ve laid her upon herself and the sound’s quite magical. It’s different to anything else. It’s not done in a pop way where people very often add vibrato and make it match so that the voice is pulsing on the wave. She just sings it – and she sings it how she feels it. Against that, when we need a more kind of tribal earthy kind of element, I’ve used some Adiemus style voices.’
