Mostly Mezzo Mondays: Soprano Saturation

Mostly Mezzo Mondays: a recurring (though not weekly) feature where, on Monday nights, I blog a list of the upcoming broadcasts that have caught my eye on World Concert Hall. My interests: baroque vocal music, art song recitals, and a list of favorite singers.

On this week’s cruise through the WCH listings, it happened to be the sopranos’ names that caught my eye.

If you can’t get enough of Renée Fleming singing Strauss with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic—considering that their Proms outing is still available on demand—you are in luck: their performance of the same program in Helsinki is scheduled for broadcast Friday, September 8 on Yle Radio 1.

My personal pick of the week is Sunhae Im singing a variety of Italian baroque works with the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin. On the menu are unspecified pieces by Francesco Cavalli, Luigi Rossi, Salomone Rossi and Alessandro Stradella. Sunday, September 10 on Deutschlandfunk Kultur.

I keep hearing great things about Elsa Dreisig but I haven’t heard her sing yet. One opportunity: Dreisig sings Haydn’s Creation along with established stars Mark Padmore and Florian Boesch and the Berliner Philharmoniker. Sunday, September 10 on SRF 2 Kultur.

Several of my opera tweeps gave glowing praise to Dorothea Röschmann and Emma Bell (along with Werner Güra) in Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 2, “Lobgesang,” at the Edinburgh International Festival. It’s now scheduled for deferred broadcast on Monday, September 11 on BBC Radio 3 (and should be available on demand for a month afterward).
