Description:

Anna Lucia Richter, a German mezzo whose popularity has been on the rise in recent years, has been highly acclaimed for her performances in Japan, where she sang beautifully. Anna Lucia Richter, a German mezzo whose popularity has been on the rise in recent years, has released a large scale album that traces the 800-year history of German lieder under the theme of "light". The album offers a full taste of her singing, which Gramophone magazine described as "bright, clear, focused, and precise, with a keen sense of drama. The works by Wolkenstein and Vogelweide were the first songs written in modern notation. This is "Light Before Dawn," and from there the album proceeds in chronological order, as the sun rises and the light increases, but as we move into the 20th century works by Reimann and Rihm (while the music remains highly accomplished), the image of the sun going down and setting appears. The composition is close to the feeling of a person being born, growing up, growing old, and dying, and the Gregorian chant at the end of the album is also very meaningful.Kudos not only to Lucia Richter, who sang songs in various styles with true expression and power, but also to Buschakevich, a master song accompanist who changed instruments and performed with her alone!
