Anna Lucia Richter是德國備受矚目的一位樂壇巨星,她以二十出頭的年齡站穩當今樂壇上最頂尖的位置,合作的對象皆是世界一流的音樂家.除了多次在音樂會上擔任馬勒交響曲的獨唱家(與海汀克在琉森音樂節,與小賈維在法蘭克福廣播交響樂團等等)以及在頂尖歌劇院演唱重要歌劇的女主角外,在藝術歌曲的演唱上更是與Andras Schiff和Michael Gees這些最為頂尖的伴奏家聯演,對於一位二十出頭的女高音來講簡直是不可思議的成就.
這張專輯收錄20首她所演唱的布拉姆斯藝術歌曲.
On her third Pentatone album Brahms Lieder, Anna Lucia Richter returns to the German lied, making her recording debut as a mezzo-soprano with a recital of Brahms songs, together with pianist Ammiel Bushakevitz. Brahms is particularly suitable for this recording debut as his songs fit the mezzo-soprano voice like a glove, and the pieces presented here range from love poetry and dark Romanticism to folk songs, including the world-famous Wiegenlied. Richter’s profound engagement and knowledge of the German lied is perceivable in each song she performs, as well as in her insightful liner notes text for the booklet, in which she links the project to the notion of twilight (Dämmerung). Bushakevitz’s poetic playing offers the perfect tone for both the gloomy and the idyllic pieces.
