Singing on during a pandemic

A year on and we’re slowly coming out of our third lockdown here in Vienna. The times are unsettling for many of us and I have seen many changes over the course of the last 14 months … however, one thing hasn’t changed: my love of singing, discovering new parts of my voice and developing as a vocal performer. Most of this work has been done at home during the past year and I can’t wait for it to be possible for us all to get out there onto our stages. We’re nearly there and I hope we will all come to savour and value live performances even more than we did before.

Until then here’s a throwback to my first lockdown recording of Rusalka … hope you enjoy it!

Ode to a Nightingale

I am delighted to share a recording of our recent performance of Wolfgang Gabriel’s setting of John Keats’ “Ode to a Nightingale” for soprano, flute and piano. This piece has become very dear to my heart and I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed performing!

 

 

W. Gabriel: Ode to a Nightingale

I’m very much looking forward to the world premiere of W. Gabriel’s setting of “Ode to a Nightingale” for soprano, flute and piano. I will also be performing his “Elegien im Herbst” and there will be other chamber music pieces and poetry readings.

Wolfgang Gabriel: 3 Lieder an den Vollmond

I’m delighted to announce that the latest Gabriel soprano premiere is available on youtube! Please have a look of these videos of the premiere performance from May 2014 of these wonderful songs – I absolutely loved singing these!

World premiere of Gabriel’s “Magnificat”

It was a huge pleasure and honour for me to be able to give the world premiere performance of my father’s new composition for soprano, mixed chorus and small orchestra – Wolfgang Gabriel’s “Magnificat”. The performance was a great success and there will hopefully be an HD-video recording of the performance ready to upload shortly. Watch this space!
Meanwhile, German-speakers might like to read the Terz Magazin review here!
