About
Magdalena Kožená’s fourth Pentatone album Folk Songs brings together folk-inspired song cycles from across the globe. Ranging from Berio’s Folk Songs to sets by Bartók, Ravel and Montsalvatge, this collection provides a kaleidoscope of twentieth-century orchestral song composition. Kožená performs them together with the Czech Philharmonic under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle.
REVIEW:
Kožená is on gleaming form in music that largely suits her voice well, and the orchestra plays fabulously for Rattle.
-- The Guardian (U.K.)
Critic reviews
“Folk song has been a part of the life of Czech mezzo Magdalena Kožená for years, and in this collection of songs, refreshingly with orchestra, she is in fantastic and effortless voice.”
