Decca Classics presents a recital by soprano Lise Davidsen and pianist James Baillieu recorded at the Metropolitan Opera in September 2023. Their program reflects the full spectrum of Davidsen’s range, moving effortlessly between opera, song and musical theatre. Davidsen demonstrates her mastery of the music of Richard Strauss with four songs: “Allerseelen,” “Befreit,” “Zueignung,” and “Morgen.” Opera highlights include “Dich, teure Halle” from Wagner’s Tannhäuser, “Morrò, ma prima in grazia” from Verdi’s Un ballo in Maschera, and “Vissi d’arte” from Puccini’s Tosca. These are paired with songs by Schubert, alongside music by Grieg and Sibelius in a tribute to Davidsen’s Scandinavian heritage. The recital also reveals a lighter side of Davidsen’s artistry, with operetta and musical theatre including “I Could Have Danced All Night” from My Fair Lady.
