Info for Verismo (Arien von Puccini, Mascagni, Cilea, Catalani und Giordano)

Kammersängerin Krassimira Stoyanova gilt unter Opernfachleuten als eine der interessantesten Sopranistinnen für das Repertoire des sogenannten "Verismo", jener unscharf umrissenen Phase, als Komponisten wie Puccini, Mascagni und andere einen Handlungsrealismus in die romantische Oper exportierten und dazu eine Musik schufen, die unvergessliche Melodien hervorbrachte, die bis heute zum beliebtesten Opernrepertoire zählen.

Stoyanovas Stimme hat eine Qualität und Tragkraft in diesem Repertoire, das man anderswo vergeblich sucht. Krassimira Stoyanova wurde für ihre Einspielungen bereits mit dem Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik und dem International Classical Music Award (ICMA) ausgezeichnet. Placido Domingo persönlich wählte sie aus, um bei seiner Jubiläumsgala zu singen. Die Sängerin tritt regelmäßig in allen großen Opernhäusern auf und arbeitet mit den prominentesten Dirigenten zusammen, etwa mit Christian Thielemann, Mariss Jansons, Daniel Barenboim oder Ricardo Muti. Mit Pavel Baleff steht ihr bei diesem außergewöhnlichen Recital ein Dirigent zur Seite, der zu den ausgewiesenen Opernspezialisten zählt. Mit Krassimira Stoyanova arbeitet er bereits seit vielen Jahren regelmäßig zusammen und gewann mit ihr namhafte Schallplattenpreise.

„Mit ihrem neuen Album – nicht anders als mit den Vorgänger-CDs mit Verdi-Arien und slawischem Repertoire – bestätigt sich Stoyanova als eine der fünf besten Sopranistinnen des italienischen Fachs in der Gegenwart. Und im Verismo ist sie besser als Netrebko.“ (Kai Luehrs-Kaiser, kulturradio)
