Hi Simone! It\u2019s a pleasure to have you back on GBOpera, with your new cd Colori d\u2019Amore<\/em> out. Your first interview Senza Trucco<\/em> with us dates back to last january, when you were enjoying the well-deserved success of your previous album Lava<\/em>. The success of that record crowned you as the \u201cQueen of Baroque\u201d, according to Opera News<\/em>, while The Guardian<\/em> and The Sunday Times<\/em> praised your voice and technique.
\nHas anything changed in you, as an artist and a woman, from Lava<\/em> to Colori d\u2019Amore<\/em>?<\/strong>
\nYes, of course. I want to become deeper: I have tried to go back to my nature – the nature of the human voice – and I want to touch people – honerstly. I think that we are now at a point that we have to go back to ourselves – and music helps – time can stay still for a moment – timeless – thats my goal, my wish.
\nWhat made you decide to represent through this record the range of feelings linked to love? <\/strong>
\nThe colors of Love – red, orange, blue, purple – every color stands for a feeling – and the arias, the music and the words have everything – from deep love to fire, from sex to jealousy and vengeance, but real love is a must in our Life and of course in our music…
\nIs there an aria, among those included in the album tracklist, you cherish in particular and why? <\/strong>
\nYes, there are a lot and it\u2019s not easy to chose only one, but I think it could be \u201cOmbra mai fu\u201d:\u00a0 it\u2019s so beautiful and simple. Bononcini had the inspiration and composed it 40 years than Haendel, who felt inspired by it or took the wonderful music for himself – a masterpiece…
\nAmong the composers of whom you\u2019ve sung music, who is the one you feel you can relate to the most and why? <\/strong>
\nI like the Bononcinis- both of them, because they were brothers – and, of course, the father of all composers of this time, included Bach, A. Scarlatti… and, of course, Broschi, for the neapolitan time….\u00a0 Colori d\u2019Amore<\/em> has been published by Sony, and so a major record company that seems to have thought big for this new effort. How do you feel when a new record of yours is finally out? <\/strong>
\nI feel that there\u2019s nothing more I can do and I hope the audience will like it – and that it is a timeless production that lasts for a long time and not only for 3 months. I hope that people can listen to the record I dont know how many times and always find new inspriation and experience new feelings… I think we did our best. Now we have our concerts – the music will be our always new work….
\nHow was working on Colori d\u2019Amore<\/em>? <\/strong>
\nStressful because Claudio found the arias in a very short time – and so I had not so much time for studying and rehearsing… but sometimes it\u2019s better going this way: stress can lead to inspiration and afterwards you are so happy about the new pieces… it was a fantastic, crazy work. I\u2019m so happy, really.
\nIs there any funny story concerning the recording sessions you would like to tell us? <\/strong>
\nNot really, because we were so disciplined, very professional….you know…
\nThis is your second record in joint-venture with Claudio Osele and Le Musiche Nove. How did this collaboration start and will there be more in the future? <\/strong>
\nOf course the third album of an ideal trilogy is on the way. Our intention is to pursue Art and not simply chose music in fashion in our time…, I dont know what arias and composers will be on the next record, but Claudio knows. But this will not be the end: I hope for more and more records with him and Le musiche nove, like a journey around the world….
\nHow do you feel about being one of today\u2019s most important worldwide voices of Baroque? <\/strong>
\nI don t think about it – why should I??? And I\u2019m not always singing Baroque….It doesn\u2019t matter to be famous – it\u2019s important to be honest…a good human being: this is our meaning in life… and what should come… it will come…but it\u2019s in our hands to be good and honest….its true or not?
\nIn our interview Senza Trucco, you declared that you like to experiment with other genres of operatic music than Baroque and that singing Mozart is good for your voice. Will you publish a record of something different from Baroque? <\/strong>
\nI did a lot of other recordings – I started with Humperdinck, I did Beethoven, Haydn, contempary music, Mozart, Mendelssohn, and belcanto… and and and… my voice can sing a lot – but I\u2019m more famous for the baroque repertoire…. this is the point: isn\u2019t it strange?
\nWhat can we expect after this cd? <\/strong>
\nWe will start working on the next record… I\u2019m so excited about this and looking forward to it!
\nUsually, after the publication of an album comes the record promotion… What\u2019s next on your schedule, in terms of promotion? <\/strong>
\nWe have a lot of concerts – a big tour in Germany, including Munich – Herkulessaal, Berlin – Konzerthaus, Dortmund – Konzerthaus, Frankfurt – Alte Oper, Hamburg – Laiezhalle, Bremen – Glocke -, Schwetzingen-Festival, Dresden – Frauenkirche, Bad Kissingen – Festival, maybe Montpellier France, Moscow – Puschkinmuseum Russia,, Basel and Bern in Switzzerland…
\nWill we see you in Italy again? And when? <\/strong>
\nI\u2019m sorry, but there is nothing planned yet….We are waiting for an invitation…. but baroque music isn\u2019t really in fashion in Italy right now… I hope it will be so….<\/p>\n

And, of course, we do hope to be able to attend an Italian concert of this big artist and to enjoy the music of her new album Colori d\u2019Amore<\/em>, published on last October 12th by Sony Classical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
