Past Production Reviews
1It is the voice of Núria Rial, very suitable for this repertoire, since there was never a need to ascend to notes higher than the acute A, and where the emission of a very beautiful sound, the enamel and the crystal of the timbre, are boldly cared for. all combined with an adequate volume and a very good administration of the fiat, which allow the interpreter to show off the linked song and a phrasing that can always give way, without any complications, to the intercalation of sophisticated agility or vocalization. In this way, we were able to enjoy the first five songs of Mozart in German, of varied themes, of which we highlight very favorably the intense and interpreted with intention, Als Luise die Briefe , K 520 (1787), which theatrically narrates the uncomfortable and dramatic situation in which "Luise was burning the letters of her unfaithful lover." Of the last two, in French, we highlight the first, Oiseaux, si tous les ans , K 307 (1777-1778) [ Birds, if every year ], very well contrasted by the interpreter, in a romantic key, in conjunction with that Sound so fluffy that Andreas Staier distilled into all his accompaniments. The recital, lasting approximately 75 minutes, without pause, was highly applauded by the audience, who almost filled the Teatro de la Zarzuela, forcing the soprano to give a tip, which was kindly attended -although he pointed out addressing the audience that he could hardly speak-, and announcing the famous song Sehnsucht nach dem Frühling [ Longing for spring ], and commenting that it is in May, and not before, that spring begins to be reborn in Vienna. A nice performance, of course. Therefore, we are not opposed to the Rial-Staier couple visiting us again and giving us double recitals like the one that happened this evening.
