Free Music Notes for Diana Damrau - Arie di Bravura (Mozart, Salieri, Righini Opera Arias) Album
Free Music Review: Another promising young soprano
Hit: 4 Stars
I have recently listened to a number of CDs by promising young sopranos, such as Nicole Cabell, Danielle di Niese, and Kate Royal. Diana Damrau is another promising soprano. If I read the notes properly, this is one of her first CDs. What is especially nice about this CD is the uncommon pieces that she sings. It, thus, provides a nice introduction to a repertoire that we don't often hear, such as Salieri and Righini.
The first cuts that I listened to were the two Queen of the Night pieces from "Die Zauberflute." She handled the treacherous "Der Holle Rache" nicely, taking on the staccato notes pretty well and hitting the high notes on target. Just so, "O zittre nicht." Her voice is somewhat thin (I think), but she sings this piece reasonably well (although there appear to be a handful of rather harsh notes).
Other rarities are prominently featured on this album, making it quite interesting to listen to. The opening cut is Salieri's "Fra i barbari sospetti" from his "Cublai, gran Khan dei Tartari." She shows some nice coloratura skills. Her efforts at a trill are not Sutherland-esque. Nonetheless, her voice appears to me to show quite a bit of agility. She appears a bit cautious in her singing, but this is not a big deal. Again,to my untrained ears, a bit of harshness in her voice toward the end. In another piece from this opera, "D'un insultante orgoglio," she again shows off some nice coloratura skills. An occasional harsh note appears.
From Righini's "Il natal d'Apollo," she sings "Ombra dolente." This is a slow paced and almost haunting aria, nicely sung.
So, she does a nice job on this CD. This is not a perfect work, but she does show considerable promise to my untutored ears.
