Catalogue No: ONYX4009

Debut solo recording from a truly remarkable young Dutch mezzo-soprano, Christianne Stotijn.

Stotijn is a BBC New Generation Artist 2005-6, Winner of the Borletti-Buitoni Trust prize 2005 and the ECHO (European Concert Halls Organisation) Rising Stars Award 2005-6.

Bernard Haitink is a strong supporter – after conducting her in Mahler’s Rückert Lieder in Paris last June (“elle a stupifiée l’auditoire”) he immediately invited her to Amsterdam to repeat it in 3 concerts with the Concertgebouw Orchestra, where she triumphed. (“A historic debut “,“ A dream debut” the Dutch press raved)

The poetic theme of this CD is 'Phantasien und Traumgestalten' ‘Fantasies and Dream-figures’, and it takes in many of the greatest and most complex songs of Schubert and Wolf. Stotijn and partner Joseph Breinl (accompanist to Waltraud Meier) have performed this programme a great deal in public. Stotijn’s next ONYX recording will be Mahler Lieder with her other regular partner, Julius Drake (Autumn 2006 release)
