Interpreten: Amanda Forsythe, Opera Prima, Cristiano ContadinLabel: cpoEAN: 761203561629Die amerikanische Sopranistin Amanda Forsythe haben wir bisher meist zusammen mit Boston early Music Group kennengelernt. Nun ist sie mit dem klein besetzten Ensemble Opera Prima mit Werken von Händel zu erleben und interpretiert diese unheimlich gut und spannend, wie Michael Gmasz findet.Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts hat Georg Friedrich Händel, alias „Il Sassone“, vier Jahre auf einer Studienreise in Italien verbracht. Neben zwei Opern, Rodrigo (November 1707) in Florenz und Agrippina (Dezember 1709) in Venedig, hat er sich in Sachen Vokalmusik in dieser Zeit vorwiegend mit Kantatenkompositionen beschäftigt, von denen knappe 100 überliefert sind. Zwei davon, Armida abbandonata und Agrippina condotta a morire, sowie Ausschnitte aus dem Oratorium Il Trionfo del tempo e del disinganno hat Amanda Forsythe nun für ihr neues Solo-Album ausgewählt. Opera Prima präsentiert sich dazwischen mit zwei Instrumentalintermezzi, natürlich auch von Händel und, zumindest was die Sinfonia in B-Dur HWV 339 betrifft, auch aus Rom.Amanda Forsythe gestaltet die beiden Solokantaten mit einer berührenden Intensität und Leidenschaft. Das solistisch besetzte Ensemble Opera Prima mit Cristiano Contadin ist ihr dabei eine hervorragende Stütze, ob auf stürmischer See (Armida) oder auf dem Leidensweg zum Tod (Agrippina). Amanda Forsythes Stimme ist enorm wandelbar, wie sie auch bei den ausgewählten Arien aus dem Oratorium Il Trionfo kunstvoll beweist. Halsbrecherische Koloraturen im Duett mit dem Geiger Federico Guglielmo in Un pensiero nemica di pace perlen nur so dahin, als ob es zu den einfachsten Übungen gehören würde, so zu singen. Lascia la spina, später als Lacia ch'io pianga zu einer der berühmtesten Händel Arien überhaupt geworden, ist hier nicht als Klagelied sondern eher auf der flotteren Seite angelegt, wird im Oratorium aber auch vom allegorischen Vergnügen, Piacere, gesungen. Vom leidenden Pianissimo bis zum ausbrechenden Furioso, Amanda Forsythe beherrscht ihr Fach, und bleibt dabei immer klangschön. (mg)

Kate Molleson heads down to Covent Garden where rehearsals are under way for a new production of Beethoven's Fidelio at the Royal Opera House. She speaks to conductor Sir Antonio Pappano, director Tobias Kratzer and soprano Amanda Forsythe, who sings Marzelline. Fidelio is sometimes considered a problem opera, with its mix of comic and serious, but Kratzer emphasises the deep themes of political revolution and unjust imprisonment, while for Pappano, Beethoven's score opened a new world for German opera, not least for Wagner. Kate also talks to Marta Gardolinska, Young Conductor in Association at the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, about the challenges of forging a career as a conductor, and about her love of Polish music. And Music Matters joins the composer Valgeir Sigurdsson and director Stewart Laing as they discuss We Are In Time, a new music-theatre piece for the Scottish Ensemble about a heart transplant. It's a profound exploration of the emotional and scientific aspects of this most risky operation, with the ensemble's string players also taking on dramatic roles and singing. Kate also investigates the effectiveness of mood-based music playlists, with James Foley from Spotify and Hugo Shirley from classical streaming site Idagio - and gets a concert programmer's point of view from Helen Wallace, programme director of King's Place in London. Are mood lists a gateway to the treasures of classical music, or just dumbing down the art form?

Works for string orchestra and voice by Meder and Vivaldi performed by A Far Cry and Amanda Forsythe, soprano on November 16, 2014.Meder: Sonata di Battaglia from Die bestandige ArgeniaVivaldi: Sonata a tre "La Folia" Op. 1 No. 12Vivaldi: Nulla in mundo pax sincera, RV 630On this podcast, we feature three pieces from A Far Cry’s recent program of Baroque works, titled “Obsession.” Each of the works is bursting with relentless passion, though it is directed at very different subjects, for very different reasons.In the first piece, Johann Meder’s Sonata di Battaglia, that alternates between aggressive, military-like marches and tender, reflective passages, perhaps depicting the characters’ mixed emotions at setting off for the battlefield.Next comes Vivaldi’s variations on the famous Spanish theme “La Folia,” a tune that was a common test of a composer’s mettle. The piece gets wilder as it progresses, demanding ever more virtuosic playing from the featured violinists.We close out the podcast with a piece featuring A Far Cry’s special guest for this concert, soprano Amanda Forsythe, in another Vivaldi work—his motet Nulla in mundo pax sincera. An ode to the bliss of heaven, the piece scorns the pains and empty pleasures of earth. Forsythe tackles the dazzling vocal passagework with delicious enthusiasm, and A Far Cry is with her every step of the way.
