Two Lives to Live

Following the successful tour of "Von Babelsberg bis Beverly Hills", Angela Denoke has premiered for the 2011 Salzburg Festival a new recital programme based on the Kurt Weill's output in Germany and then the USA:  Two Lives to live.  Tal Balshai has made musical arrangements for the evening and Norbert Nagel plays several instruments.  It is an extremely sophisticated programme with extracts of letters and anecdotes by Weill and Lotte Lenya read in between by Angela - or a local personality.  Next season this programme will tour to Lille (with a French speaker to read the letters) and also to the Wiener Staatsoper.

DVD Marthaler-Salonen Makropulos

Recorded live at Salzburg Festival 2011

"The singing is mostly terrific. Many noted Emilia Martys [Angela Denoke] have been tested by the exposed, barely accompanied high-lying phrases with which Janacek filled the part in the final scene of Act 3, the nearest he came to writing a kind of Wagnerian Liebestod for the soprano voice. Denoke has these notes and the technique and breathing to deliver them." Gramophone / August 2012 / Mike Ashman
