Barbara Hannigan, the celebrated Canadian soprano and conductor, presents "Crazy Girl Crazy," a captivating album released on September 1, 2017, under the Alpha Classics label. This 57-minute classical and opera gem showcases Hannigan's extraordinary vocal range and interpretive prowess, featuring a mix of contemporary and classic pieces that highlight her versatility and artistry.
The album opens with "Sequenza III," a challenging and expressive solo work by Luciano Berio, demonstrating Hannigan's technical skill and emotional depth. The centerpiece of the album is the "Lulu Suite" by Alban Berg, a suite drawn from the opera "Lulu." Hannigan masterfully navigates the complex and dramatic roles, bringing to life the tragic and enigmatic character of Lulu through five distinct movements. The suite is a testament to Hannigan's ability to convey a wide range of emotions and characters with her voice.
The album concludes with the "Girl Crazy Suite" by George Gershwin, a lighter and more playful set of songs that showcase Hannigan's ability to switch genres seamlessly. Her renditions of these classic tunes are both charming and sophisticated, offering a delightful contrast to the more intense and dramatic pieces that precede them.
Throughout "Crazy Girl Crazy," Barbara Hannigan's passion and commitment to her craft shine through, making this album a compelling listen for both classical music enthusiasts and those new to the genre. Her ability to connect with the music and the audience is evident in every note, making this a memorable and enjoyable experience.
