For the first of two Onyx Classics recital CDs, supported by her 2005 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award, Dutch mezzo-soprano Christianne Stotijn looked to Vienna and to the Lieder of Franz Schubert, Hugo Wolf and Alban Berg, evocatively built around the notion of Fantasies and Dream-Figures.  She is joined by pianist Joseph Breinl.

There is an associated film about Christianne Stotijn making this disc, From Heart to Heart – The Sorcery of Song.  Watch here.

Christianne Stotijn mezzo-soprano
Julius Drake piano

from the CD “Mahler – Urlicht”

ONYX 4014 | www.onyxclassics.com

For her second Onyx recital disc, supported by her 2005 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award, Dutch mezzo-soprano Christianne Stotijn turned to Mahler, with pianist Julius Drake.

“Stotijn’s voice, rich and suggestive, sly and sorrowful as required, with shades of Janet Baker’s gravitas, Lorraine Hunt Lieberson’s candour, and Anne Sofie von Otter’s playfulness, is tailor made for Mahler’s Ruckert Lieder and Das Knaben Wunderhorn.”
