Customer Reviews of Barbara Bonney - Diamonds in the Snow (Nordic Songs) / Pappano
A necklace of diamonds for never-ending delight Barbara Bonney's voice has never sounded more delightfully radiant than in this beautiful collection of Nordic songs. I found her detailed word-painting and subtle touches with the resonance between lyrics, melody and harmony to be like the fine work of a great miniaturist. <
> <
>Her German is very good indeed; Scandinavian language seems to pose few problems for her; perhaps her Finnish is a little accented, but that's a tricky language in which to sing for a non-native singer. <
> <
>The Sibelius songs are particularly beautifully interpreted. A delicate richness given by Ms Bonney matches the rich fairy-tale colorisation of the snow in which these "diamonds" are birthed. <
> <
>In short... beautiful. Truly beautiful. <

>I can also recommend the complete Sibelius songs sung by Elizabeth Söderström - another artist who sings with the heart as well as the voice.
A true work of art
Well, what else can be said... I will only say that this CD was my best friend at every possible place: at home, on the buss, vacations abroad... It has never ceased to amaze me, and as an opera student I heard it- admiringly- over and over again, trying as much as I could to learn from this ever so intelligent singer. For as you know, good voices are all around the place but being able to use them wisely while making a real difference - now that is not as common.
2 songs which entered my Lieder-hall-of-fame are the 2 versions of "Flickan komm...". I was never so deeply touched as I was, listening to those two, ever so different from eachother, yet both so moving. the Grieg cycle (op.48) is a favourite of mine as well.
I HIGHLY recommend it! Enjoy .
A very apt and appropriate title for these gems
Barbara Bonney's voice and interpretive skills truly showcase these songs of Grieg, Sibelius, and the others. Her tone is clear, radiant and she exhibits warmth and stylistic versatility. The interpretation is really the main thing here. She communicates the subtleties of the poetry in these songs.
Grieg is, of course, the best known, on an international scale, for his songs, and some of these are indeed familiar.
Sibelius wrote over a 100 songs, but his reputation for symphonic works has overshadowed these songs...they are well worth our acquaintance.
The other composers are unfamiliar to those outside the Nordic countries and again we are rewarded by becoming acquainted with them.
This is a beautiful, exquisitely delivered compilation which is sure to please those who love the art song.
