At Tatiana Lisovskaya

“Domingo's clarion (though stretched) Aeneas and Norman's passionate Cassandra are most memorable. Troyanos does not match Gardiner's Susan Graham, but Levine is admirably epic and provides the traditional finale.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2007 “A triumph” New York Daily

Penderecki’s first opera “The Devils of Loudun” had its world premiere in 1969 at the Hamburg State Opera. This film adoption, recorded in the same year shortly after the premiere, reunified the original cast of this premiere – e.g. Tatiana Troyanos with an amazing and breathtaking interpretation of the humpy non Jeanne. Because of her sexual visions a priest, who doesn’t know her, burns at the stake. The expressive music and the intensive camera shots result in a mix which is not for faint-hearted people. So it’s no surprise that film director William Friedkin used the music by Penderecki in his movie “The Exorcist”. If you like this movie, you will love this DVD!

The fourth New Series album from the St Petersburg-based composer Alexander Knaifel may be his most wide-ranging to date, voyaging from the sacred to the secular and back again via several inspired detours. It includes two Prayers to the Holy Spirit, movingly performed by the Lege Artis Choir. Tatiana Melentieva sings Bliss, based on Alexander Pushkin’s poem, and the great Russian poet is cross-referenced with St Ephraim the Syrian in O Lord of All My Life (A Poem and a Prayer) sung by Piotr Migunov.

T. Shebanova is a laureate of four international piano competitions: "Concertino-Prague" (1969, 1st prize), in Geneva (1976, Grand Prix and two special prizes — "American" and Ernest Shelling), F. Chopin in Warsaw (1980, 2nd prize and two special prizes for the best performing of polonaise and concert), "Bosendorfer-Empire" in Brussels (1990, Grand Prix and three special prizes). The pianist has a busy schedule of appearances in the Soviet Union, in almost all European countries and in Philippines and Taiwan. During her six guest tours on Japan she gave more than 100 concerts. T. Shebanova has a vast repertoire, recorded more than 30 LPs and CDs for "Melodiya" company (USSR), "Victor", "CBS-Sony", "Pony-Canyon" (Japan). "Muza" (Poland), "Pan-ton" (Czechoslovakia), "Empire" (Belgium).

With her enthusiastically recorded "Mozart" and "Cleopatra" bestselling albums at Sony Classical and numerous television appearances, the young Swiss singer Regula Mühlemann quickly became the shooting star of the classical music scene and received an Opus Klassik. "As graceful as her appearance is the voice of the young Swiss star soprano: lyrical and bright, soft in timbre, clearly in the air," writes the review. On her third album, Mühlemann now presents herself as an artistically expressive lieder singer who is extraordinarily curious about her repertoire. For example, the Swiss-based musician has not only combined songs by Franz Schubert (1797-1828) with some folksy songs by Swiss composers for her album "Lieder der Heimat", but has also recorded them in the four Swiss national languages. The subject area of ​​home, nature, hiking, farewell and longing is the recurrent theme of the repertoire that Mühlemann has recorded with her longtime Lied accompanist Tatiana Korsunskaya….

I due Foscari was Verdi’s sixth opera and based on Lord Byron’s play The Two Foscari. Rich in intrigue, the plot tells of the final days of the famous Venetian doge, Francesco Foscari, and his illegal overthrow in 1457.
Lee’s production of I due Foscari, set against a simple curved backdrop and beautifully costumed, works best on screen…with Nucci giving a baritonal masterclass in the title role, Tatiana Serjan pouring out exciting (if veiled) tone as Lucrezia, and De Biasio enjoying a success as Jacopo.
