Ondine is pleased to announce the new release from legendary Straussian soprano Soile Isokoski. A multiple award-winner, her recording of the Four Last Songs won a Gramophone Award in 2002. The rarely recorded Three Hymns are coupled with arias from Ariadne auf Naxos, Der Rosenkavalier and Capriccio. Soile Isokoski performs those (and other) operas regularly at opera houses across the world including Vienna State Opera, Royal Opera House, Milan’s La Scala, the Semperoper in Dresden, Paris and at festivals including Salzburg, Edinburgh, Orange and Savonlinna. Three Hymns is a major work, and places considerable vocal demands on the soloist. These atmospheric concert pieces show Strauss’ orchestration in full bloom. “Isokoski can match her great predecessors in her breath control. It’s good to have a souvenir of her distinguished Marschallin and her Madeleine...With Kamu’s Helsinki orchestra providing a lush underlay, Isokoski soars in the ecstatic Hölderlin settings.” Sunday Times, 30th September 2012 “The beauty of Isokoski's singing, with its even, lustrous tone and quiet stylishness, almost goes without saying, and those qualities are at their most beguiling in the Three Hymns. The technical quality is just as high in the opera extracts, but those performances seem to lack a vital dimension.” The Guardian, 20th December 2012 **** “The main attraction of the programme is the Drei Hymnen, which do not come round in recordings very often...As each of her three Straussian heroines, she embodies a very touching, human vulnerability.” Gramophone Magazine, January 2013 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
