Anne Sofie von Otter & Les Musiciens du Louvre Grenoble A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Anne Sofie von Otter has been a leading soprano since the 1980s, irrespective of whether we are talking about opera, song or oratorio. Her extraordinary musicality, sensitivity, sense of drama, outstanding vocal abilities, flexibility—and indeed her very stage presence—have all made her one of the most sought-after singers of our day. The great-grandchild of a former Swedish prime minister has given unparalleled performances in, primarily, the Baroque repertoire; this time she gives us a taste of this excellence through the music of Telemann and Händel, reflecting an ever-vigorous creative spirit. Anne Sofie von Otter has regularly worked with conductors of the calibre of William Christie, Claudio Abbado, John Eliot Gardiner and Marc Minkowski, one of the best known French conductors following historically informed performance. The artist who comes from a distinguished family of doctors and has Polish, American and Hungarian ancestry, founded the orchestra in 1982. Originally set up to revive primarily the French Baroque opera repertoire, the ensemble has enjoyed the official support of the city of Grenoble since 1996. Through them Minkowski regularly stuns audiences with recordings of a world standard and hugely successful festival productions.
