Nuria Rial | Soprano Nuria Rial | soprano Biography | March 2021 Nuria Rial studied voice and piano in her native Catalonia and was a member of Kurt Widmer's class at the Basel Academy of Music. In 2003, she was awarded the “Preis der Helvetia Patria Jeunesse Stiftung” by the Pro Europa - for her exceptional achievements as a singer. She has performed at all the leading music festivals in Europe and collaborates with such conductors as Ivan Fischer, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Paul Goodwin, Trevor Pinnock, Howard Griffiths, Gustav Leonhardt, René Jacobs, Thomas Hengelbrock, Laurence Cummings, Neville Marriner and Teodor Currentzis as well as notable ensembles, including Concerto Köln, The English Concert, Kammerorchester Basel, Collegium 1704, Il Giardino Armonico, Les Musiciens du Louvre, Elbipolis Barockorchester, Le Cetra Basel, L’Arpeggiata, Festival Lucerne Strings, Accademia del Piacere and Il Pomo d’Oro. She appeared in important operatic productions in many of Europe's most prestigious opera houses: Cavalli's Eliogabalo (Eritea) at the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels under René Jacobs; Monteverdi's L'Orfeo (Euridice) at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in Berlin with René Jacobs and at the Grand Théâtre in Geneva with Giovanni Antonini; and Mozart's Die Zauberflöte (Pamina) at the Theatre Carlo Felice in Genova. Nuria Rial has been working a lot on Baroque music and performance practice. Alongside she is also interested in other genres. In 2012 for instance she persuaded in the role of Nuria in the contemporary opera Ainadamar by GoliJov at the Teatro Real Madrid, directed by Peter Sellars. On a world tour in 2015 and 2016 she sang the Pamina with the Budapest Festival Orchestra conducted by Ivan Fischer. Being enthused by chamber music, Nuria Rial cultivates partnerships with ensembles such as “Il pomo d’oro”, “Café Zimmermann”, “Les Cornets Noirs Basel” and „Artemandoline“ (CD bei der Sony). In her recital programmes she sings French and Spanish repertoire, but also German songs. Collaborations with the Casals Quartet, Andreas Staier, Alexander Melnikov and the guitarist Edin Karamazov are planned. Nuria Rial enJoys a vast discography, having recorded for such labels as Harmonia Mundi France (award- winning recording of Le Nozze di Figaro conducted by René Jacobs or recently “Traces to Anna Magdalena Bach”). Since 2009, she has an exclusive recording agreement with Sony Classical/BMG Masterworks. Her CD “Ave Maria” won the Dutch Edison Award. In 2009, the CD “Haydn - Arie per un'amante” with Michi Gaigg/ Orfeo Barockorchester won an Echo Classical Music Award, and she received a second Echo Award for her contribution to the CD “Teatro d'Amore”. 2010 followed the Echo Klassik for the CD “Via Crucis” with Christina Pluhar's L'Arpeggiata. Finally, in 2012 she was awarded another Echo for her CD Telemann with the Basel Chamber Orchestra in the category “Best Opera Arias”. Her most recent recordings are “Muera Cupido” with the gamba player Fahmi Alqhai and “Mother” with Dima Orsho and Musica Alta Ripa (both Sony Music), the first being dedicated to music from 18th century in Spain, the latter to Baroque arias and Arabic songs that are addressing the multiple facets of the role of a mother. For her CD “Muera Cupido” with the Accademia del Piacere, Nuria Rial received an Opus Klassik in 2020.

  • Nuria Rial Y Maurice Steger Se Inspiran En El Canto De Los Pájaros Para Grabar 'Baroque Twitter'
    NURIA RIAL Y MAURICE STEGER SE INSPIRAN EN EL CANTO DE LOS PÁJAROS PARA GRABAR `BAROQUE TWITTER' La soprano española Nuria Rial y el virtuoso flautista suizo Maurice Steger se han asociado con la galardonada Kammerorchester de Basilea para grabar un fascinante álbum barroco, con un programa de arias y conciertos inspirados en el canto de los pájaros. Baroque Twitter está integrado por algunas obras conocidas y otras raramente escuchadas de compositores como Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741), Francesco Mancini (1672-1737), Pietro Torri (1650 - 1737), Tomaso Albinoni (1671 - 1751) o el maestro Alessandro Scarlatti (1660 - 1725). Nuria Rial y Maurice Steger se encuentran entre los artistas más exitosos en el campo de la música antigua. Ambos ya han recibido los premios Echo Klassik. Su primer álbum juntos revela cuán magníficamente se mezcla la peculiar voz de Nuria Rial con el sonido de la flauta de Steger. El álbum ofrece a los oyentes un emocionante viaje al mundo de la poesía y la música barroca de principios del siglo XVIII. En su búsqueda de obras para incluir en su álbum han descubierto algunas joyas deslumbrantes En el aria "Rondinella che dal nido" de la ópera Ifigenia en Tauride, de Leonardo Vinci (1696? -1730), los arpegios frenéticos en las cuerdas sugieren las alas zumbantes de una golondrina, mientras que en el aria ªBell©augelletto che vai scherzandoº, de Francesco Gasparini (1661-1727), el amanecer es recibido por un canto de pájaro imitado por flautista y soprano. Nuria Rial estudió canto y piano en su Cataluña natal y fue miembro de la clase de Kurt Widmer en la Academia de Música de Basilea.

  • The 2018 Guide Festivals
    April 2018 The 2018 Guide Festivals FEATURE ARTICLE 10 Questions, Two (Very Different) Festivals Editor’s Note Our fifth annual Guide to Summer Festivals is our biggest yet, with some 85 annotated entries, plus our usual free access to the 1400 listings in the Musical America database. The details for the 85—dates, locations, artistic directors, programming, guest artists, etc.—have been provided by the festivals themselves, in response to a questionnaire sent to our list of Editor’s Picks. Those are determined by a number of factors: it’s hardly a surprise to see the big-budget events, such as Salzburg, Tanglewood, and Aspen, included. But budget is by no means the sole criterion. The 2018 Guide Programming, performers, range and type of events offered—all of these factor into the equation. For our feature article, we chose two highly regarded events and asked them one set of questions, just for the purposes of compare and contrast. Since George Loomis traveled to Ravenna last summer and knows Ojai well, we decided he was the perfect candidate to get the answers. Our hunch that the two couldn’t be more different turned out to be quite accurate: one takes place over a weekend, the over a two-month period; one is in the U.S., the other in Europe; one is rural, the other urban; one’s in a valley, the other by the sea; one focuses on contemporary fare, the other on traditional; one houses its artists in homes, the other in hotels; one is overseen by a man, the other by Festivals a woman; Ojai’s venues are primarily outdoor and strictly 20th century, Ravenna’s are mostly indoor and date as far back as the sixth century.
