Jessye Norman

Soprano

Jessye Norman

Jessye Norman is “one of those once-in-a-generation singers who is not simply following in the footsteps of others, but is staking out her own niche in the history of singing.” This rich history continues to be made as she brings her sumptuous sound, her joy of singing and spontaneous passion to recital performances, operatic portrayals and appearances with symphony orchestras and chamber music collaborators to audiences around the world. The sheer size, power, and luster of her voice share equal acclaim with that of her thoughtful music-making, innovative programming of the classics, and fervent advocacy of contemporary music.

Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Kurt Masur

2 CDs with complete libretto at mid price for first time!

"... where the recording scores most convincingly ... is in the casting of Ariadne and Bacchus. Jessye Norman brings to the title-role opulence of tone, nobility of phrasing and Straussian richness ... and Norman gives us the classical dignity and tragedy of the role in generous measure ... Paul Frey ... really sings the role, riding the climaxes effortlessly and tunefully and, with Norman, making the final duet the ecstatic experience Strauss had in mind but which so rarely materialises ... the playing of the instrumentalists from the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra is exemplary ... there's no doubt in my mind that this is an Ariadne with outstanding virtues.” Gramophone November 1988

“At bargain price, Janowski's version is value for money, with its fresh approach and cast that includes Jeannine Altmeyer, who captures the depth of feeling in Brünnhilde's joy, her lamentation at her betrayal and the grandeur of her final appearance.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2008
