Music reviews of Lieder: Franz Liszt, Richard Strauss, Alban Berg

Music Review: A Thrilling New Mezzo Soprano Turned Soprano
Rating: 5 Stars

This album marks Violeta Urmana's first solo album. It is a collection of Lieder by Franz Liszt and Richard Strauss, in German accompanied by an orchestra that is full of subtleties and grandeur. Also on this album are 20th century Lieder by the atonal composer Alban Berg. Urmana sings mostly in the soprano range in this album, and shows off what she could not show us in her mezzo soprano roles- breathtaking pianissimi, lyric legato, smoothness of tone and beautiful angelic textures. Lithuanian opera singer Violeta Urmana started off her career singing mezzo soprano repertoire such as Azucena in Trovatore which is featured in a live recording under Ricardo Muti opposite Salvatore Licitra, Barbara Frittoli and Leo Nucci. Her voice has been likened to Christa Ludwig, another sublime Lieder singer and it is very likely that Urman will follow in that diva's footsteps. Singing in the mezzo range, she is able to sing lyric-dramatically, with rich, dark, chocolaty textures. But she has also sung soprano roles. Her earliest recording is the studio recording of La Gioconda, made in the 90's, starring Placido Domingo as Enzo. As Gioconda, she sings with thrilling passion and has lazer-sharp musicianship. Her "Suicidio!" is nearly like that of Tbaldi or Callas. She has sung Kundry in Wagner's Parsfial to great acclaim (some regard this role as her best work) she has sung Brunhilde and she has sung Tosca. I was enchanted by her stunning Tosca at the Los Angeles Opera a performance she sang opposite Salvatore Licitra's Cavaradossi. Her soprano range is expressive and dramatic, and she is able to sing bel canto Italian in a way that is never boring. This album is a gem and Urmana's voice is breathtakingly beautiful.
