Discography
Klaudia Tandl, mezzo-soprano
Gisela Jöbstl, piano
"The song cycle Plupart du temps by the French composer Betsy Jolas has fascinated us since first discovering it. Her music and Pierre Reverdy's surrealistic imagery are like a playground for possible interpretations. We were truly drawn into this world where there is so much room for different perspectives. Out of this playfulness emerged a versatile programme that emphasizes the apparent incomprehensible, inconceivable and improbable - seemingly out of this world. For us, that is the wonder of these works - they draw you into different spheres. Sometimes seriously confronting - sometimes playfully light - sometimes sensually seductive. Entre deux mondes (Between two worlds) - taken from the first song of the cycle Plupart du temps - seems to us the ideal title to unite this abundance of facets." Klaudia Tandl & Gisela Jöbstl
Reviews
"...the programme builds with plenty of emotional momentum thanks to brilliant sequencing and singular performances by the Austrian mezzo-soprano Klaudia Tandl (a marvellous word centric singer) and the imaginative, resourceful pianist Gisela Jöbstl."
"Tempos are on the slow side, which doesn’t translate into weightier treatment of the text but more entry points for the listener – aided by a depth of colour in Tandl’s voice..."
"... Tandl’s beautifully focused voice..."
"... Tandl’s expressive English diction in Rebecca Clarke’s ‘The Seal Man’..."
" In fact, the contrasting worlds explored in these songs are revealed with no value judgements from the performers, which makes the album a consistently absorbing whole."
- David Patrick Stearns, Gramophone
"Sie singt mit klarer, sehr wortdeutlicher Stimme und kann Emotion vermitteln, ohne der Stimme Gewalt oder Vibrato anzutun. Ihre Stimmgebung nähert sich Kurt Weills Wunsch, die Ausbildung in der Stimme überhörbar zu machen.
Kluge Dramaturgie mit feiner Interpretation – diese Aufnahme ist eine Empfehlung!"
- Irene Suchy, Ö1 Radio
