Richard Strauss: Four Last Songs / Wagner: Arias From Tannhäuser
Meet the powerful new voice conquering the world’s stages: Lise Davidsen. Rapidly becoming the most in-demand soprano of her generation, she is the first Scandinavian soprano to sign to Decca Classics since Birgit Nilsson. She is also the first Norwegian singer to join Decca since Kirsten Flagstad’s acclaimed recordings in 1950s.
With esteemed titles under her belt [including “Winner of The World Opera Competition, Placido Domingo’s Operalia (2015)” and “Winner of The Queen Sonja International Music Competition (2015)”], this young talent is already being widely hailed as the next great Wagner and Strauss heroine, with much anticipation surrounding her upcoming Bayreuth Festival debut.
“One of the greatest voices I have heard.” – The Observer
“Hers is truly a voice in a million.” – The Telegraph
“[Lise Davidsen] has the vocal power, sensitivity and technical poise demanded by the great heroines of Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss.” – El Pais
