Description: | Robin Ticciati cemented his reputation as an outstanding Berliozian with this 2013 recording, Berlioz: Les nuits d'été, which includes excerpts from Roméo & Juliette and La mort de Cléopâtre. Ticciati delivers fresh insights and vivid colours into this luminous work showing similar flair to that of his teachers Sir Simon Rattle and the great Berliozian Sir Colin Davis. The recording features Kathleen Ferrier prize-winning mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill, who has sung at the Metropolitan Opera, New York and won acclaim as Cléopâtre, a role she reprises here: 'Cargill's Cléopâtre gives even Dame Janet a run for her money... a real revelation' (Limelight Magazine). The works of Berlioz have featured prominently in Ticciati's programmes with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra since he was appointed Principal Conductor in 2009 earning critical acclaim. This recording was nominated for a 2014 ICMA Award and topped Kate Molleson's '2013 Classical Top 10' list in The Herald."Les Nuits d'Été/La Mort de Cléopâtre/Romeo & Juliet" is a captivating CD that brings together some of the most evocative works by Hector Berlioz. Mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill, under the baton of conductor Robin Ticciati and accompanied by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, delivers an emotionally charged performance that highlights both her vocal prowess and deep understanding of French Romantic repertoire. The album features Berlioz?s song cycle "Les Nuits d?Été," his dramatic cantata "La Mort de Cléopâtre," and orchestral excerpts from "Romeo & Juliet." Linn Records, renowned for its high-fidelity recordings and commitment to artistic excellence, ensures every nuance is captured with clarity. Karen Cargill has established herself as one of today?s leading mezzo-sopranos, acclaimed for her performances at major opera houses such as Covent Garden and the Metropolitan Opera. This release stands out not only for its interpretive depth but also for its superb sound quality. |
