Medea

Luigi Cherubini (1760 - 1842)


DESCRIPTION

Although only twenty-nine, Gwyneth Jones tackles and conquers the formidable role of Medea, following in the footsteps of Maria Callas, who first sang the role at the same age. Jones brings an intensity to the part that she would continue to hone throughout her career, eventually making her one of the most dynamic performers of her generation. Underpinning that intensity is a rock-solid technique, allowing her to push the voice to the brink without compromising its essential core.

Regina Sarfaty, a woefully underrated mezzo-soprano, brings a touch of glamour to Neris, while Jane Marsh shines as Glauce.
