Free Music Review: Nice voice, but wrong repertoire
Hit: 3 Stars
Kozena has a pretty voice with good intonation, but it is still undeveloped and sometimes breathy. I don't think she is a Mezzo-Soprano, and these choices are the wrong literature for her. Singing 19th century music in a Baroque style does not do the drama justice. I think Kozena does herself, and the world, a disservice, by not practicing and developing her higher soprano notes. Remember that Joan Sutherland once sang Mezzo-Soprano, but changed her focus to Soprano, calling her mezzo days "a lazy soprano".
Magdalena Kozen? - French arias / MCO, Minkowski Poster
Having dazzled us with her coloratura ability in arias by Mozart, Gluck, and her fellow Czech, Myslivecek, this luscious young mezzo-soprano now offers us a generous program of French arias--15 of them, widely varied in tone, weight, dramatic intent, and style--and conquers and convinces in them all. Beginning again in coloratura territory, an aria from Auber's rare Le domino noir catches our attention with the heroine's opening words, "Je suis sauv?e enfin!" ("I am safe at last!"), in which she paints the picture of our out-of-breath heroine immediately. Throughout the CD we meet the doomed, tragic Sappho in Gounod's opera; Dulcin?e in the same composer's Don Quichotte, here presented first as lamenting lover, then as spitfire, with Kozena reaching down into her most sultry chest voice; a dreamy Marguerite in Berlioz's La damnation de Faust; a Princess languorously singing of the night in an exquisite aria from Gounod's all-but-unknown Cinq-Mars; and many others, each of whom Kozena imbues with her individual stamp, flawless technique, musicality, and beautiful tone. Almost as a bonus, the CD ends with Carmen's Gypsy Song - a real razzle-dazzler. Kozena is a great singer and this is a great recital CD--a must. --Robert LevineClassical Music CDs
