Patricia Petibon - La traversée (2022) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

On her new album for Sony Classical, the versatile soprano Patricia Petibon presents fascinating portraits of female heroines from Purcell, Mozart, Gluck to Verdi and Offenbach. For a long time, the French soprano Patricia Petibon has been celebrated worldwide for her musical versatility on the opera stage. So she shines and fascinates with her silver-bright and at the same time nuanced voice in the Baroque opera as well as in the great Mozart parts and also feels at home in some of Verdi's parts. This multifaceted nature and her wide range of expressions are also reflected in her new album "La Traversée". The title can be translated in German here with "crossing" or better "transfer". In this sense, Patricia Petibon would also like to have the program understood. "Past, present, future form a whole, interconnected by transmission. The epic story of tragic heroines, which is constantly repeated, is what connects the times, " says Patricia Petibon. The musical spectrum of the arias and songs on "La Traversée" ranges from works by Purcell, Rameau, Handel and Gluck to Mozart to Verdi and Offenbach. The accompanying, renowned La Cetra Baroque Orchestra under the direction of Andrea Marcon can also be heard with the "Passacaglia della vita" by Stefano Landi.
