#02: "Ecco l'orrido campo" (Lise Lindstrom, soloist) - Marcello Giordani Foundation 12/08/2010

Ecco l'orrido campo (from "Un Ballo in Maschera" by G. Verdi)

Featuring Lise Lindstrom (Soprano). Conducted by Carmine Aufiero.

On December 8th, 2010 Metropolitan Opera star Marcello Giordani hosted a fundraising gala and concert with the Marcello Giordani Foundation, a not for profit organization dedicated to assist and support promising young opera singers. The foundation, founded by Mr. Giordani, was created to encourage and enable young talented singers from around the world to pursue and achieve their career goals and transition onto the professional opera stage. The concert and dinner took place on December 8th, 2010, at the Church of Saint Jean Baptiste, Lexington Avenue at 76th Street.




Under the guidance of Marcello Giordani, the Foundation establishes, organizes and sponsors master classes, seminars, and summer programs in the U.S. and abroad, as well as provides encouragement, training opportunities, career assistance and financial support, including scholarships and awards to promising and talented young singers. Many of them will be the great singers of tomorrow, and it is with them that the future of opera resides. It is the goal of the Foundation to contribute actively to their success.

The proceeds of the event will be devolved to the organization of the first Marcello Giordani International Vocal Competition sponsored by the MGF, to be held in Italy the Spring of 2011.

Great voice, VERY poor pronounciation.

[Dymension]

Her voice is not Italianate. I'd like to hear her in some other repertoire. That said, it's a fine reading of this most difficult of arias!

[JasminaH79]

why wasn't she singing Amelia or Elisabetta in Don Carlo at the Met? Her Turandot was the highlight of the entire season for me in 2009. Hers is not an Italianate voice but neither is Crider's or Poplavskaya's...for my money Lindstrom sings way better and is a more interesting artist. just sayin'

[luvopra]

Lise is awesome!
