The Polish diva Aleksandra Kurzak, tenor Roberto Alagna’s muse, has published an album testifying to the breadth of her voice, allowing her to take on heavier and more dramatic roles vocally, such as Tosca, Adriana Lecouvreur and the great Verdian tragedians Leonora from Il Trovatore or Elvira from Ernani. In fact, it was while singing Verdi that the soprano made her highly acclaimed debuts at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in Violetta (La Traviata) and at the Opéra Bastille in Paris as a fiery Elisabetta (Don Carlo).
With her splendid timbre, Aleksandra Kurzak's voice has fleshed out. She launches her highs triumphantly, giving a lot of character to the dozen arias chosen from operas in Italian (Verdi, Puccini, Cilea, Leoncavallo) and French (the "Air des contrebandiers" from the opera Carmen), as well as taking incursions into the Czech language with the sublime "Song to the Moon" from Rusalka, composed by Antonín Dvořák a few months after the creation of Tosca and which Puccini would probably not have eschewed. Perfectly polyglot, Aleksandra Kurzak sings in Polish (an aria from Moniuszko's Halka) and in Russian (the famous "Letter Scene" from the first act of this perfect masterpiece that is Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin, based on Pushkin's novel in verse). So many amorous desires of heroines who are always disappointed, betrayed and even sacrificed by men. © François Hudry/Qobuz
