Annette Bening
Lloyd Schwartz had kind words for mezzo-soprano Angelika Kirchschlager in his Boston Phoenix review of her December 1 Celebrity Series debut recital:
"Kirchschlager is glamorous (a cross
between Helena Bonham Carter and Annette Bening) and projects a large
personality. Pushing her mop of dark curls out of her eyes, she laughs
out loud or winks when she finds the end of a song amusing; when she’s
serious or heroic, she seems to elevate in stature." Complete text of review
Schwartz picked Kirchschlager's recital as one -well, part of one- of his top ten classical music events of 2006, also for The Boston Phoenix. Kirchschlager shares the #10 slot with a recital by mezzo-soprano Delores Ziegler with accompanist John Greer. Of the two recitals, Schwartz said:
"Both these events were true lieder
recitals, presenting great songs beautifully, honestly, and with no
gimmicks. Maybe it’s not a dying art." Complete text
