About

La Luce is far more than a stylistic collage. The album unfolds a musical dramaturgy that understands light as a metaphor for hope, transcendence, and emotional revelation. Simone Kermes employs her extraordinary technical mastery not as an end in itself, but as a means of shaping highly diverse expressive worlds—from Baroque affect rhetoric and Classical soul portraiture to modern, film- inspired sound poetry.

In the sensitive yet powerful accompaniment by the Orchestra of the Warsaw Chamber Opera under Julien Salemkour, a homogeneous overall sound emerges that respects historical styles while placing them in a timeless context. La Luce thus proves to be an artistically ambitious concept album that brings different musical epochs into dialogue and once again presents Simone Kermes as an exceptional bridge between tradition and modernity.

Awards and reviews

September 2026

Her characteristic slender tone - fined down to a whisper at times - remains idiosyncratic and intonation is not always spot on; but the voice is still at its best near the top of her range and her technical accomplishment is evident in Mozart's concert aria Vorrei spiegarvi, oh Dio and in an aria from Dittersdorf's oratorio Giob (ie. Job).
