Reviews
Karg is an outstanding lieder singer [...] the entire programme is well thought-out and a source of delight. Record of the week
... this beautifully programmed if full-on recital examines erotic yearning and regret within the wider context of the relationship between innocence and adlu knowledge. ... Karg’s voice is allowed to emerge in its splendour and fullness. ‘Épiphanie’ is exquisitely poised and her Duparc urgent rather than languid: the rush of excitement at the climax of ‘La vie antérieure’ is unusual, though apt. Tim Ashley
Performances from Karg that manage to combine aching sensuality with crystalline purity…Deliciously fragrant as the album title Parfum suggests; it delivers... Disc of the Week
Karg is an outstanding lieder singer, but here she takes on roles in French, whose words by “Tristan Klingsor” (the alias of Leon Leclere), Verlaine and Hugo (Britten), as well as Leconte de Lisle (Koechlin and Duparc), she sings most eloquently, soaring above the Wagnerian orchestrations… the entire programme is well thought-out and a source of delight. Hugh Canning (Album of the Week)
“Asie!”, Christiane Karg sighs at the beginning of Ravel’s song cycle Shéhérazade, and you can sense her excitement as she describes an imaginary Asia and its assault on the senses… She’s at one with David Afkham’s smoothly responsive orchestra, but manages to impart the feeling that she’s singing everything in her own sweet time – this music’s style to a T. Erica Jeal
So much beautiful music on one disc should not be allowed.Error on this page? Let us know here
