Eva Zalenga, winner of the German Music Competition, makes her GENUIN debut with an album featuring colorful and striking music for soprano and diverse instrumental ensembles. Highlights include a world premiere recording of Ignaz Lachner’s work, a rare find by Darius Milhaud, and renowned repertoire such as Schubert’s “Der Hirt auf dem Felsen“ and songs by Rebecca Clarke and Pauline Viardot. Eva Zalenga’s “fine, light, and lyrical” soprano brings fresh interpretations to these works. Another standout is the revised version of Isabelle Aboulker’s “Je t’aime“, developed directly with the composer.
Klassik begeistert
"With a multi-faceted selection from the song repertoire of the 19th and 20th centuries, Eva Zalenga demonstrates her own versatility and also shows the wealth of variety that classical song possesses [...] this album not only conveys the art of song at the highest level, but also a very stimulating listening experience, which makes it particularly recommendable."
