A collection of beautiful baroque and renaissance love songs that
reflect the versatility of love – passionate, dramatic and addictive by
the most popular composers of this time, from Monteverdi, Purcell, Cesti
to Merula and Dowland.
Love is Simone Kermes’ most intimate and personal album yet.
The
arrangement, cast of instruments, and recording set up is as such that
the “pop song” quality, the contemporary and eternal spirit, the
immediacy of these compositions is revealed. All sung with the unique
legato, pure, and silver quality that makes Simone Kermes’ voice so
special.
Simone Kermes is a dramatic coloratura soprano and
multi-award winner. For her solo albums she has received a number of
international awards, such as the annual award of the Deutsche
Schallplattenkritik, the Echo Klassik award for 2011 Female Singer of
the Year, the Diapason d`Or, Midem Award, Choc Le Monde de la Musique
and Gramophone magazine’s Recording of the Month. In April 2013 she
received one of Russia’s highest cultural awards, the Golden Mask, for
her performances as Fiordiligi in Mozart’s Così fan tutte at the
Tchaikovsky State Academic Theatre in Perm.
Opera performances
have taken her as Konstanze, the Queen of the Night, Fiordiligi, Donna
Anna, Giunia, Rosalinde, Lucia, Gilda, Ann Truelove, Alcina and Laodice,
among other roles, to New York, Paris, Lisbon, Copenhagen, Moscow,
