Soloist in GURRE-LIEDER

NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra

“With the majestic pull of her boundless alto voice, Jamie Barton - after Tove's death - turned the song of the wood dove into a magical dirge.”
–Luzerner Zeitung

“The two women stand out among the soloists. Barton is a force to be reckoned with as the ominous wood pigeon. Not only because she understands and communicates the text.”
–NDR Kultur

“Barton made an impact in her metallically solid mezzo.”
–Hamburger Abendblatt

“An absolutely exceptional version of the Gurre-Lieder – Barton was completely convincing as the Forest Dove, a sort of reincarnated Waltraute, in her long monologue, one of the poetic peaks of the work.”
–El País

“Barton had no problem cutting through the orchestra in her stirring tale of the wood pigeon. With the words being easy to understand, her dramatic interpretation became one of the highlights of the evening. She led her rich, full voice seamlessly from the middle range upwards and blasted the high notes into the hall.”
