I could not resist. The last overture, to Bizet’s Carmen, is extremely powerful and joyous.
I thank our colleague Manuel Cerdá .

Coloratura

A mi manera, borrowed, Manuel Cerda, voices

Empezamos por la aria “Caro nome” (Querido nombre), de la ópera de Giuseppe Verdi Rigoletto (1851). Por esta aria siento especial predilección y la incorporé a la ‘banda sonora’ de mi novela El corto tiempo de las cerezas, pues la hija del protagonista, Camila, es soprano. Quien la interpreta en este primer vídeo es la soprano estadounidense Nadine Sierra en un concierto celebrado en el marco del NDR Klassik Open Air, festival que se celebra todos los años en el Maschpark de Hannover (edición de 2017). Dirige la NDR Radiophilharmonie la canadiense Keri-Lynn Wilson.

(…) Únicamente aquellas sopranos con un gran dominio de la coloratura pueden con él. Kathleen Battle, soprano estadounidense nacida en 1948 –cuyo repertorio abarca melodías francesas, lieder alemanes, música sacra, jazz y espirituales–, es una de ellas. Su interpretación del mismo durante el Concierto de Año Nuevo de Viena, que dirigió Herbert von Karajan en 1987, es realmente espléndida.

This post is Manuel Cerdá’s, A mi manera. I wanted to share it with you. A soprano coloratura is a rare gift to the world as is the basso profundo. I thank our colleague for this beautiful post.
