Sonya Yoncheva devotes her second solo album to the music of Handel,
showing another facet of her wide-ranging repertoire. Being an alumna of
William Christie’s Le Jardin des Voix, the Baroque era formed her
musical understanding at an early stage of her career, laying the
foundation for her versatile & broad-reaching repertoire. Currently
praised as “the best Traviata in the world at present” (Die Welt), Sonya
Yoncheva is one of today’s fastest rising opera stars. She is a regular
guest at the world’s leading opera houses such as the Metropolitan
Opera, Royal Opera House, Bayerische Staatsoper, Berlin State Opera,
Wiener Staatsoper & the Opéra de Paris. A great composer of vocal
music, Handel based some of his most beautiful operas & oratories on
the enchanting sensibility of the feminine voice. His heroines are
strong, independent women determining their own destiny – attributes Sonya relates to in all respects. From Mar 3rd - Apr 18th, 2017 Sonya
will embark on a concert tour featuring the Baroque repertoire
highlighted on the Handel album release. (Presto Classical)
“the emotional balance of the programme favours Alcina, Cleopatra
and Theodora’s songs of grief and torment, with a tendency to
romanticise. Morgana’s skittish Tornami a vagheggiar, a showstopper in
the theatre, is the highlight here: Yoncheva displays a delightful
twinkle in the eye with her plush soprano, and negotiates the coloratura
with pearly ease.” (Sunday Times, 29th January 2017)
thank you very much for the Yoncheva recordings
