Description:

Second Album by the Opera's New Star Who Has Taken the World by StormNorwegian soprano Lise Davidsen has taken the world stage by storm, captivating and surprising audiences, and has become a highly sought after new star in the world of opera. Two years after her debut album, she sings arias and songs by Beethoven, Wagner and Verdi on this second album. Leonore in the opera "Fidelio" was acclaimed by the Financial Times in March 2020 as "undoubtedly the outstanding Leonore of the next generation. Other famous Italian opera heroines, such as Leonora in Verdi's "La Forza del Destino," Medea in Cherubini, and Santuzza in "Cavalleria Rusticana," further prove her versatility. Liese's signature piece, Wagner's "Wesendonck Lieder," gives us a glimpse of the Isolde of the future. This album was recorded during lockdown with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, led by Mark Elder, one of Britain's foremost opera conductors. Universal Music/IMS
