Salzburg Festival 2020: Sonya Yoncheva sings baroque arias

Synopsis

Contemplative, dramatic, spirited, lively – and all these facets united by absolute beauty and perfection: This describes the Baroque Evening in Salzburg’s Haus für Mozart. Sonya Yoncheva dedicated her recital to 17th- and 18th-Century music, together with Argentinian conductor Leonardo García Alarcón and his Cappella Mediterranea, all renowned specialists in baroque music. Vocal and instrumental music by Monteverdi, Purcell, Cavalli, Dowland and many others enchants the public – and a surprise, when Sonya Yoncheva proves with an encore how much Folk & Pop and Baroque music have in common… "Bulgarian Sonya Yoncheva currently has one of the most sensual soprano voices in the world of opera. Yoncheva stirs and soothes, with delicately sparkling melodic jewels of Stradella, Monteverdi, Cavalli and Caldara, but also with Spanish, Gibbons, Dowland and Purcell” Die Welt
