JOSEPH HAYDN
Arias
L'anima del filosofo ossia Orfeo ed Euridice:
Al tuo seno fortunato, Filomena abbandonata, Dov'è l'amato bene? - Del mio core il voto estremo
Armida:
Partì Rinaldo - Se pietade avete, oh Numi
Scena di Berenice:
Berenice, che fai? - Non partir, bell'idol mio - Me infelice! Che fingo? - Perché se tanti siete
Il mondo della luna: Se la mia stella
Il ritorno di Tobia: Anna, m'ascolta
Orlando paladino: Aure chete, verdi allori, Non partir, mia bella face
Simona Šaturová - soprano
NDR Radio Philharmonic Orchestra / Alessandro De Marchi
Melodious, virtuosic, and with the added bonus of being fresh to the repertoire - Haydn's soprano arias are among the most beautiful artefacts of Viennese Classicism, especially when they are sung with immaculate clarity as here by Simona Šaturová. Widely praised for her crystalline voice, exquisite focus and musical expression, Simona Šaturová is in international demand in opera and concert. She was born in Bratislava, Slovakia and studied with Ileana Cotrubas in Vienna. In January 2009 Ms. Saturova sang in a performance of the Mozart C Minor Mass for the 85th birthday of Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican.
