Prima Voce has assembled some truly remarkable examples of Clara Butt’s art and even at first hearing the listener will be struck by the vocal presence and personality behind each recording. The deliberate but completely unforced exploitation of those extraordinary and smoothly blended cello-like bottom notes in her lower and middle registers was beautifully managed throughout her career, but they do evoke different reactions from some modern commentators on vocal-art.

“Marijana Mijanovic is impressive, with a full, flexible bottom-end to the range that puts plenty of counter-tenors to shame...she's able to knock out the more virtuosic arias with impressive fire. As Cleopatra, Magdalena Kožená is superb, with real beauty of tone and impressive ornamentation, never over-sentimentalising her romantic moments.” Andrew McGregor, bbc.co.uk, 20th November 2003 “As established in the Overture, Minkowski prefers speeds on the fast side, sometimes very fast, with playing clear and clipped...[Kozena's] is a commanding performance, deeply moving in her big lyrical numbers, V'adoro and Piangero, for which Minkowksi allows full warmth and tenderness at aptly spacious speeds. Marijana Mijanovic sings powerfully in the title-role” Penguin Guide, 2010 **/* “On René Jacobs’s recording Barbara Schlick is bright and nimble. But for seductiveness and subtlety she is outclassed in this “live” 2002 recording from Vienna by Magdalena Kožená, who catches all the enchantment of the glorious “Parnassus” tableau. Kožená brings tragic intensity to her great laments “Per pietà” and “Piangerò”, using ornamentation to heighten the expression when the opening music returns.” The Telegraph, 14th June 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
