The Art Of Magdalenz Kozena [2 CD set]
Magdalena Kozena (mezzo-soprano) with Malcolm Martineau (piano) & various orchestras

[ Deutsche Grammaphon / 2 CD ]

Release Date: Monday 22 July 2013

The Art of Magdalena Kožená is an anthology of her finest performances, documenting both the range of her voice and the breadth of repertoire to which she can bring authority, from early baroque of Monteverdi and Strozzi to sacred arias by Bach, opera arias by Handel, Vivaldi, Mozart, Gounod, Bizet and Auber, as well as orchestral songs by Mahler. To all she brings an absorbing emotional depth and maturity of her interpretative abilities.

Unique to Kožená are the songs rooted in Bohemia and Moravia by Dvořak and Janáček. She still feels closely connected to her Czech roots. "It's music that stays in your body forever".

This is Magdalena's own selection of her favourite songs and arias, sung in French, Italian and German as well as in her mother tongue.

28-page Booklet, including new liner notes from Nick Kimberley.
