Emotional scenes that tear at the heart
strings: concert arias are great dramas
reduced to a few minutes and focussed on
one single character. But what is the origin
of the genre? And what inspired the great
composers, stimulated by great voices and
great moments in literature or even by the
operas written by their fellow musicians?
What they composed were moving,
dramatic scenes for the concert hall, and
they gave their all in creating them.
Christiane Karg is one of those fascinating
voices, and who knows which concert arias
Haydn or Mozart might have written for
her? She is certainly one of today's most
interesting German singers with an
international profile. After studying in
Salzburg her career initially took off in
Hamburg and Frankfurt. Her solo career has
since taken her to the Semperoper in
Dresden, to Salzburg, Covent Garden and
Glyndebourne, and the list of her stage
partners is clear evidence of her elevated
status.
