Summary
- Soprano Lise Davidsen delivered a thrilling live recital at the Metropolitan Opera.
- Her performance showcased a fresh, gleaming soprano voice with silvery top notes.

Soprano Lise Davidsen presented an outstanding solo recital at the Metropolitan Opera in September 2023. The live recording captures her performance with exceptional clarity and passion.
Davidsen's soprano voice sounds fresh and gleaming, with silvery top notes that never become overblown. Her interpretation of Strauss's songs is particularly thrilling, while Schubert's music is filled with sincere expression. She unleashes a passionate delivery in four Sibelius songs.
Pianist James Baillieu's electric performance complements Davidsen's vocal artistry. He masterfully mirrors her nuances in slower arias, creating a unified focus. The recital includes a unique rendition of "I Could Have Danced All Night" and Wagner's "Dich, Teure Halle."
The recording concludes with two encores: an intimate, searing "Vissi d'Arte" from Tosca and Grieg's "Våren," which feels like a personal performance to friends.
