Soprano

Szoprán

‘So she poured out the liquid music of her voice to quench the thirst of his spirit.’

“Így hát hangja folyékony muzsikáját kiárasztva csillapította [férje] lelki szomját.” Nathaniel Hawthorne

Compositions

Konzerttourneen mit Bobby McFerrin und Roger Treece haben mein musikalisches Denken auf den Kopf gestellt und mich dazu veranlasst, den eigenen, klassisch basierten Kompositionsstil zu entwickeln.

Concert tours with Bobby McFerrin and Roger Treece turned my musical thinking around and inspired me to develop my own, classically based compositional style.

‘Zsovár’s experiences as a professional singer are of great importance to what she has to say about Strada’s career trajectory, and her analyses of the arias and duets the soprano performed offer invaluable insights into the problems of performance practice. It is difficult to imagine that someone without insider knowledge would be able to deduce so much from a singer’s point of view.’
Ivan Curkovic, ‘Book Review. Judit Zsovár (2020). Anna Maria Strada, Prima Donna of G. F. Handel’, Studia Musicologica 61 (2020) 3-4, p. 415.

“Judit Zsovár ricostruisce gli anni costitutivi della prima istituzione operistica pubblica di Vienna, il Kärntnertortheater […] arrivando a scritturare nel 1730 il giovane soprano veneziano Maria Camati, detta “La Farinella”, la cui attività viennese è ricostruita attraverso una ricognizione delle partiture conservatesi presso l’Archivio di Meiningen, evidenziando gli elementi di migrazione e adattamento del repertorio al gusto della piazza.”
