“The perfect casting” wrote Opera Magazine about Jakub Józef Orlinski’s interpretation of Orfeo in San Francisco. The Polish countertenor is tailor-made for the character of the mythical singer. Orfeo quickly developed into one of his signature roles, which Jakub Józef Orlinski has embodied in various productions around the world. Now the countertenor himself is releasing a recording of Gluck’s Orfeo & Euridice – as producer, casting director, artistic co-director (alongside conductor Stefan Plewniak) and, of course, interpreter of the main role.
“One of my big dreams as a student was the role of Orfeo,” confesses Jakub Józef Orlinski, “when I read the myth for the first time, my imagination went crazy, I saw images like those of Hieronymus Bosch before my eyes.” Performances in other people’s productions strengthened the singer’s desire to realize his very own vision of the myth: “It’s not easy to take on such a famous musical work. But I had a clear vision of what I wanted to do with it and how I would realize it”.
For his dream cast, Jakub Józef Orlinski recruited the young sopranos Elsa Dreisig as Euridice and Fatma Said as Amore, both winners of the OPUS KLASSIK. The original sound ensemble Il Giardino d’Amore will accompany them under the direction of Stefan Plewniak. The conductor has been Jakub Józef Orlinski’s “partner in crime” for many years.

Mozart was just 14 years old when he composed Mitridate, re di Ponto for performance in Milan. An opera seria set in ancient times, it boasts a sequence of spectacular arias for its cast of strongly contrasting characters. At the centre of the action is Mitridate himself – the historical Mithridatus, King of Pontus, a ruler of Persian-Greek ancestry who was a formidable opponent of the Roman empire.

Elsa Dreisig sees Mozart as the composer who made her want to become a singer. The Franco-Danish soprano pays tribute to him today with an album entirely composed of arias from his operas. Its title, Mozart x3, refers to its program, articulated around masterpieces composed on librettos by Lorenzo da Ponte: The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte. Elsa Dreisig performs arias from three roles from each of the three operas. To these nine arias from the da Ponte trilogy are added three selected arias…

“Phenomenally good … Dreisig’s voice [is] youthful yet assured, agile yet fluid, and powerful through its entire range … We can certainly expect much more to come from this singer,” wrote BBC Music Magazine in its five-star review of Miroir(s), Elsa Dreisig’s debut album of operatic arias and scenes. It was subsequently nominated for two top awards, Gramophone and Opus Klassik.

For her first recital with orchestra album, young Franco-Danish soprano Elsa Dreisig had the idea of presenting five pairs of songs in which each part of the pair is ambiguously related to the other, like a mirror’s reflection. This process leads to striking juxtapositions of different musical styles, dramatic moments, historical periods and contrasting voices; classicism and romanticism complement each other, terror answers joy, and the result is a view of the feminine soul all its facets. The first pairing involves two mirrors: the one in which Marguerite from Gounod’s Faustadmires herself and Thaïs’s mirror in Massenet’s opera (Thaïs). There follows Puccini’s vision of Manon Lescaut, and then Manon (sans Lescaut) as imagined by Massenet. Following this we have Juliette, this is a rather daring pairing of the largely-forgotten early romantic German composer Daniel Steibelt with Gounod’s Juliette. Elsa Dreisig then moves onto the two famous Figaros, one from Rossini’s Barber (Rosina) and the other from Mozart’s Marriage, with the gentle tones of the Countess. Finally, and more daring still, we end with the Salome of the Hérodiade by Massenet, a tender young woman who is not after anyone’s head; and then Strauss’s Salome, with her sanguinary madness. Probably in order to avoid the temptation of comparisons with other recordings, our singer has opted for the 1907 French version – note that this work by Oscar Wilde was itself originally written in French. This is the most extraordinary selection that one could hope for in a first recording from any artist, all accompanied by the Montpelier Orchestra, conducted by Michael Schønwandt.

A setlist like no other, a never-heard-before compilation of deeply moving musical pieces highlighting numerous aspects of war and peace. This is how the Wiener Philharmoniker, led by Franz Welser-Möst and supported by an all-star line-up, among them singular pianist Yuja Wang, tackled the highly anticipated concert in commemoration of the end of the 1st world war. 100 years after the first of the devastating humane catastrophes of the 20th century officially ended at Versailles, a group of inspired musicians gathered at the historic site for a concert that will live on in the memory of those who have seen or heard it.
