Holmertz is obviously an accomplished actress. She gives life to each song and forms them into small dramatic scenes , almost as if she places her hand on your shoulder and looks directly into your eyes and all the while the purity of her sound makes the hairs rise on the back of your neck. I’ve heard the perfect baroque soprano! She plays with her voice, perfect inonation, she conducts herself (? And the interpretation is intelligent. The ardour is total. Minerva – 2009.

You don’t need a personal geisha… | elisabeth holmertz

You don’t need a personal geisha…. On 4 Okt, 2013. A very, very nice review of Sounds, sweet airs and the art of longing. Klassisk Musikkmagasin 3/13. Ead review (in norwegian). Even if I had my own personal geisha, I doubt if I would be more charmed by her than by this CD. It is easy to be a little wary of a Cd with English music from the 17th, 18th and 20th centuries, coupled with four songs composed by Benedikte Torget (b. Oslo 1970) setting poems by the Brontë sisters. This Post Has 0 Comments.

Ophelia – or (re)Fin(d)ing my voice. On 4 Jun, 2014. In the Autumn 2004 I was a very tired mother of a two-year old, and I had also just received my Konzertexamen-diploma. Twenty-eight years old with a long education behind me and a future I didn’t know anything about. Lost and a bit sad. 8221;Please don’t think too much! Please don’t raise your (own) voice! Please just do what we ask you to.”* – is what I felt that world said to me. ”Just be perfect enough”. In my concert program I included ”Drei ...

A short one. You want longer- download the pdf you’ll find at the end of the page.). Elisabeth Holmertz is a classically trained soprano who began singing so-called ”early music” in the beginning of the 90’s and contemporary music in the end of the same decade and has, since then, distinguished herself as one of Scandinavia’s boldest interpreters in both fields. Two CDs in partly her own name has, together with lutenist Fredrik Bock, been released on LAWO classics. Most important is the music. Certainly ...

A very new spring… | elisabeth holmertz
http://www.elisabethholmertz.com/a-very-new-spring
A very new spring. On 26 Mar, 2014. Some years seem to be all about doing new things, thinking in new ways and getting new perspectives. Up until now 2014 is one of those years. From the end of April to the end of May I will have performed nine new pieces. That’s nine different musical countries and continents and landscapes to assimilate myself into! Will I loose myself and get lost in the mace of tonalities and rhythms? Or will it be a walk in the park? I’m guessing somewhere in between. 8221; Talking ...

http://www.elisabethholmertz.com/preparing-puzzle
Preparing. Puzzle. (Click to read more). On 1 Dec, 2014. Right now: Preparing for the four books of Madrigals, by George Crumb. Music that’s like a gigantic puzzle. In the beginning it’s just thousands of bits and pieces lying around. No borders, no contours, no clear pictures, just rhythms, words and sounds floating around trying to make sense. The most important thing is to keep calm. Keep calm and turn on the metronome. One cannot rush this kind of work, it has to work itself. This Post Has 0 Comments.
