FRANDSEN, STOLTZ VOORTREFLIK
Opvoering met ‘Camerata Tinta Barocca’ van Vivaldi solo
cantata ‘Cessate, omai cessate’.
“… met bewonderenswaardige vokale tegniek…pragtige
legatolyne, blitsvinnige lopies, groot spronge en
imponerende borsregisternote ingesluit het, het sy só
geïmponeer dat ‘n mens nog meer van dié sangeres wil
hoor.” |

|

|
…she impressed with admirable vocal
technique… beautiful legato lines, lightning fast runs,
huge leaps and impressive chest register notes. She so
impressed that we certainly want to hear more of this
singer. |

FRANDSEN BEREIK GROOT HOOGTES MET
CAMERATA
Opvoerings met ‘Camerata Tinta Barocca’ van Vivaldi
solo cantata ‘Cessate, omai cessate’ and ‘Stabat Mater’.
Handel ‘Lascia, ch’io pianga’.
“...nog nooit het Frandsen my só beïndruk nie…goed
geskoolde stem, suiwer in alle registers, met sterk,
opwindende lae note en heel netjiese koloratuurwerk.
Daarby het gekom gemak, meelewing en voortreflike
uitspraak.” |
|
|
|
|
|
Frandsen has never before impressed me
so much…well schooled voice, pure in all registers, with
strong, exciting low notes and very neat coloratura
work. With this came ease, feeling and characterization
and impeccable diction. |
