Felix Klieser reviews
Felix Klieser Perform Horn Concertos by Joseph & Michael Haydn
Performed with the Württemberg Chamber Orchestra Heilbronn, conducted by Ruben Gazarian.
R Strauss
The enraptured unfurling of sound in Malcolm Martineau’s piano introduction creates dappled light for Christiane Karg’s long, warm-breathed phrasing in Das Rosenband, a radiant start to this recital. The Bavarian soprano is a delectably light, idiomatic Straussian, and the covered, pearly underside of her voice is the perfect instrument with which to recreate the secret moments and intimacy of the songs she has selected here.
