His Act I aria exhorting the Romans to value mercy as well as strength,“Cara patria! Il mondo trema”, was a highlight, his phrasing clear and beautiful” John E. de Wald, Opera-Britannia.com, October 2010 “Aureliano, however, gets the best music: Kenneth Tarver captured his mix of dignity, waspishness and deprecating self-awareness to perfection”.

  • Laurel Semerdjian Mezzo-Soprano
    Laurel Semerdjian Mezzo-Soprano Laurel Semerdjian, an American mezzo-soprano of Armenian descent, has recently been hailed as "a dramatic and musical tour de force" (Pittsburgh Tribune) for her portrayal of Asakir in Pittsburgh Opera's production of Mohammed Fairouz's Sumeida's Song. Her voice has been praised for its "guttural low notes" (Pittsburgh Post Gazette) and "appealing weight, intensity and flexibility". During the 2017–2018 season, Ms. Semerdjian looks ahead to returning to both Sarasota Opera, as Flora in La traviata, and Syracuse Opera, as Suzuki in Madama Butterfly. She makes company debuts with St. Petersburg Opera (Florida) as Dritte Dame in Die Zauberflöte, with Pittsburgh's Resonance Works as Ježibaba in Rusalka, and with Washington Concert Opera debut as guest soloist in their Opera's Greatest Heroines gala concert. She will also perform both Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 and Haydn's Mass in Time of War with Washington DC's Cathedral Choral Society at the Washington National Cathedral. In the 2018–2019 season, Ms. Semerdjian looks forward to rejoining Pittsburgh Opera as Suzuki in Madama Butterfly, rejoining Tacoma Opera for her debut in the title role of The Rape of Lucretia, and performing with Syracuse's Symphoria as mezzo soloist in Haydn's Mass in Time of War and Beethoven's Symphony No. 9. Ms. Semerdjian made several significant role debuts throughout the 2016–2017 season. In her return to Bellevue City Opera she performed her first Dorabella in Così fan tutte, and in October 2016 she made her Syracuse Opera debut as Tisbe in La Cenerentola.

Concerto No. 1, written in 1927, is a vivid and witty example of his romantic spirit, exquisite melodies and rich yet transparent orchestration. Concerto No. 2, composed a decade later, is a darker, more dramatic and virtuosic work. The deeply-felt and dreamlike slow movement and passionate finale are tinged with bleak moments of somber agitation, suggestive of unfolding tragic events with the imminent introduction of the Fascist Racial Laws that led Castelnuovo-Tedesco to seek exile in the USA in 1939. The Four Dances from ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’, part of the composer’s recurring fascination for the art of Shakespeare, are atmospheric, richly characterised and hugely enjoyable. This is their first performance and recording. After winning national and international awards, Alessandro Marangoni has appeared throughout Europe and America, as a soloist and as a © Zu Zweit chamber musician, collaborating with some of Italy’s leading performers.

  • Avec Une Histoire Personnelle Très Unique Qui Commence À Fairbanks
    Biographie, Saison 2016 – 2017 [1.019 mots] Avec une histoire personnelle très unique qui commence à Fairbanks, en Alaska, et une carrière internationale qui couvre plus de deux décennies, la mezzo-soprano Vivica Genaux charmes public et la critique avec son charisme, son engagement et sa technique vocale étonnante. Après avoir noté qu'elle «a une présence sur scène à la pelle», écrit Clive Paget dans Limelight Magazine de l'Australie en Avril 2016, que Vivica «a démontré la maîtrise complète avec son phrasé exemplaire et dextérité vocale sans effort. Ajoutez à cela une voix d'une grande richesse, facile au sommet, mais avec une capacité de plonger à volonté dans un registre plus basse robuste, et vous avez ce qui ne peut être décrit comme la real deal». Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a été le cadre de ses débuts professionnels en 1994, quand elle a interprété Isabella dans une production par Florentine Opera de L'italiana in Algeri de Gioachino Rossini, une rôle qu'elle ranimait avec grand succès en 2015 pour Opera Fairbanks. Ses débuts à la Metropolitan Opera de New York en 1997 était dans son rôle le plus joué, Rosina dans Il barbiere di Siviglia, et elle est revenue à la MET pour plus Rosinas en 2002. Dans la foulée de ces étapes, les rôles de Rossini ont pris Vivica aux théâtres d'opéra et salles de concert dans le monde entier. Son Angelina dans La Cenerentola a été entendue dans son pays natal dans des villes comme Charlotte (Caroline du Nord), West Palm Beach (Floride), et Washington, DC, et, à l'étranger, dans ses arènes prestigieux comme le Grand Théâtre de Genève, le Théâtre des Champs-Élysées et la Wiener Staatsoper et dans ses endroits comme Brême (Allemagne), Rieti (Italie), et Santiago (Chili).

  • BACH and 'CANTABILE' HEAVEN on a New 'Goldberg'
    HMU 907425.26 Essay by Richard Egarr BACH AND ‘CANTABILE’ HEAVEN On A New ‘Goldberg’ Thoughts on well-worn themes in the form of variations ‘…this point is too tenuous and contrived to be credible. It’s just arbitrary analysis, an esoteric treasure hunt to deliver whatever results the author wants to find there, to help him appear smarter and more thorough than…other people who know the music really well…’; ‘Sometimes a scale is just a scale…’ – Bradley Lehman, 12/1/05 1 HMU 907425.26 Essay by Richard Egarr In a chapter entitled ‘Freedom of Response to Music’ from his book ‘Music for all of us’, Leopold Stokowski writes this: A few individuals realised [Bach’s] greatness during his lifetime – now millions all over the world respond deeply and powerfully to the inner spirit of this music.
