Katerina Knezikova's lyric soprano has delighted audiences in numerous music centres worldwide, both at opera houses and concert venues. She has appeared with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Bamberger Symphoniker, Camerata Salzburg, the Czech Philharmonic, the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, etc. under the baton of conductors of such renown as J. Belohlavek, S. Baudo, M. Honeck, J. Hrusa, T. Netopil and R. Ticciati. The highlights of her career include the invitation to portray the title role in Janacek's opera Katya Kabanova in Glyndebourne. Katerina Knezikova's debut Supraphon solo album features enchanting fin de siecle songs, "... songs that are particularly close to my heart and voice, all of them dating from the turn of the 20th century, all of them tinged with Impressionism," as the singer herself put it. The first of them is Bohuslav Martinu's Magic Nights, set to Chinese poetry. Henri Duparc's songs, one of which, depicting Phylide, a simple and pious country girl, has given the album its title, may come as a revelation to many a listener. All the songs chosen for the CD reflect a penchant for the exotic, foregrounding connection with Nature and intuition. Conducted by Robert Jindra, the Janacek Philharmonic Ostrava has created a splendidly colourful backdrop for Katerina Knezikova's soprano to embellish.
Fin de siecle songs - a universe close to Katerina Knezikova's heart
Reviews
"Czech soprano Katerina Knezikova is clearly a singer to watch… Knezikova is superb in them (Martinu Magic Nights), always in full technical control but with a timbre that, enlivened by seductive vibrato, is ideally soft and warm… The soprano is no less successful in the French repertoire, her line always pliant, the voice beguiling and her French idiomatic… There's no resisting the charms of her Sheherazade either, with wonderfully atmospheric support from orchestra and conductor… Highly recommended."
Gramophone, September 2021
"The four settings by Duparc demand greater interpretative warmth and Knezikova does not disappoint. 'Chanson triste' is particularly impressive not only for the expressive qualities of the vocal performance, but the superb mingling of voice and orchestral palette. Robert Jindra and the excellent Janacek Philharmonic of Ostrava accompany with great skill and personality, clearly delighting in the myriad textures required."
