Jennifer Larmore and OpusFive
Star Mezzo Jennifer Larmore with
International Quintet, OpusFive present a wonderful program to showcase
their talents together and individually.
Duets for Jennifer and
the great violinist Sebastian Hamann from the operas: Lakmé, Hansel
& Gretel and Les Contes d'Hoffmann; Arias from Hercules, Ariodante,
Carmen and La Cenerentola plus songs by Obradors and Strauss. There is
also a hauntingly beautiful oratorio aria from Bach's Matthew Passion.
Jennifer
shows her versatility and strengths while OpusFive show why they are
some of the most talented musicians in the world with The Art of the Fugue by Bach and their stunning collaboration with Jennifer Larmore.
Recitals
with piano are always intimate and entertaining, but with a string
quintet there is an added dimension of depth and interest due to the
sound of the strings. Adding a double bass into the mix turns the whole
thing into a little orchestra!
As
recitalists, chambermusicians and soloists the members of OpusFive
appeared on the major stages of Chicago, Salzburg, New York, Oslo,
Malaga, Milan, Berlin, Kairo, G´dansk, Tokyo, Seoul, Paris, Madrid,
Bologna, Baden-Baden, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Stockholm, Lisbon,
Hamburg, Lyon, Brussels, Torino, Cologne, Lucerne, Rome, Amsterdam,
Heidelberg, Nice, Parma, Munich and at the festivals of
Schleswig-Holstein,
Schwetzingen, Ravinia Festival, Lucerne, Cité de la Musique Paris,
Gstaad, Bayreuth, Porto, Sion, Maulbronn, Sveg, Rheingau, and Beethoven
Fest Bonn among others.
