Diana Damrau

Only recently, Ms Damrau caused a stir with her album »Fiamma del Belcanto«. »The most important thing is that every note is filled, even permeated with expression,« she said in an interview; »without exception, these arias are about fire in the soul, about the soaring of feelings and the thirst for life, but also about fear of it.«

And it’s precisely this balancing act between superficial beauty and deep feelings seething beneath the surface that the soprano with the immaculate technique and the unpretentious manner has at her fingertips.
