Recording of the Week, Christmas from Norway

8th December 2023

The powerhouse Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen is on radiant, affecting form in a programme of Scandinavian carols, seasonal Lieder and a couple of Baroque chestnuts, with luxury support from the Norwegian Radio Orchestra under Christian Eggen.

Lise Davidsen, the most in-demand soprano in the world right now, announces the release of her new album, ‘Christmas From Norway’ via Decca Classics on 10 November 2023. Lise’s forthcoming album presents a delightful and personally-selected collection of traditional Norwegian Christmas music and classic festive favourites, spreading the warm glow of the Scandinavian Christmas spirit. For this album, the soprano draws inspiration from the classic albums of iconic predecessors on Decca Classics, such as Kirsten Flagstad and Birgit Nilsson. The album features beautiful arrangements drawn from the label's archive, originally made for such legendary singers as Luciano Pavarotti, Leontyne Price, and Renée Fleming.

Reviews

December 2023

a genuinely touching, warm-hearted and classy example of the genre – and more imaginative in the choice of repertoire than most.

8th December 2023

This thoughtfully-programmed, luxuriously-performed disc provides plenty of opportunity to enjoy all of the qualities which make Davidsen such a special artist: the integrity and sincerity of her singing, her ability to hone that big glorious voice down to a shimmering thread, and of course the thrilling power she can generate at full-throttle...the highlight of the album is an enormously touching sequence of four Scandinavian carols.

25th November 2023

Opera stars cannot resist the lure of a Christmas album, most of which collapse into cringe-inducing schmaltz. An exception is the ever classy Lise Davidsen in her Christmas from Norway (Decca), with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra conducted by Christian Eggen: a model of restraint, who has held her nerve and resisted tinsel and jingles...Plenty to discover here, wonderfully sung.
