More Details on Kirchschlager & Keenlyside: My Heart Alone
'My Heart Alone' is the new recording from Austrian mezzo-soprano Angelika Kirchschlager and British baritone Simon Keenlyside, and proves that Operetta is still alive!
Both singers are highly respected in the fields of opera and Lieder recital, and have appeared several times as a partnership, notably in the title roles in Pelléas et Mélisande at the Salzburg Easter Festival and at Covent Garden, where they have been feted as the dream couple of the opera world. Keenlyside’s previous album, 'Tales of Opera', was a 2007 Gramophone Award Winner in the Recital category.
This is the duo’s first Operetta recording, following in the great tradition of famous opera singers like Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Fritz Wunderlich and Hermann Prey, whose careers blossomed beyond the opera stage.
The choice of repertoire for this programme ranges widely from the golden age to the silver age, and includes gems from Die Fledermaus and Die Tänzerin Fanny Elssler by the father of Viennese operetta and waltz king Johann Strauss, as well as titles from popular works such as Franz von Suppé's masterwork Boccaccio and Franz Léhar's Merry Widow. The duet Nur die Liebe macht uns jung from Franz Léhar's 'Zigeunerliebe', however, is an absolute rarity
They are accompanied on this recording by the Austrian Tonkünstler Orchestra under the baton of Alfred Eschwé.
“…the greatest lyric baritone of our time “ - BBC Music Magazine on Simon Keenlyside
“Angelika Kirchschlager has the most angelic of voices” - The Observer
