One of today's
most sought-after young singers, Austrian mezzo-soprano Angelika
Kirchschlager returns to Cal Performances following three previous
critically acclaimed recitals. A regular at the Vienna State Opera,
she made her Metropolitan Opera (La Clemenza di Tito) and
San Francisco Opera (Le Nozze di Figaro) debuts in 1998,
and has since displayed her wonderfully versatile and velvety voice
to rapt audiences around the world. She "personifies cultivated
charm and elegant musicianship," says the San Francisco
Chronicle. "Her voice is pure gold." Kirchschlager
performs with British sensation Simon Keenlyside, noted for the
versatility of his finely focused baritone and his highly charged
performances. Kirchschlager and Keenlyside are accompanied by preeminent
pianist Graham Johnson, whose major recording of the entire catalogue
of Schubert lieder (for Hyperion) has attracted international critical
acclaim.
