Description

"HYMEL BRYAN - HEROIC/DEBUT RECITAL - CDSince 2012, the young American dramatic tenor from New Orleans has been in the spotlight of the world's greatest opera houses. Bryan Hymel successfully replaced Jonas Kaufmann in the overwhelming role of Aeneas in Berlioz's “The Trojans” in July 2012 in London. Since then, he has sung at the Met in New York and the Munich Opera and will be very present at the Paris Opera in 2015 and 2016.With no less than 19 high notes (!) in this recording, Bryan Hymel makes a stunning entrance into the very closed circle of tenors that matter. The album Heroic includes the most demanding works ever written for the tenor voice in 19th century French.The arias contained in this CD require strong expression, but also athletic and, to put it frankly, extremely rare vocal qualities to embody these complex characters with powerful high notes.The first recording of tenor Bryan Hymel in the grand French opera for heroic tenor.A double discovery, that of a new tenor and a rare repertoire!PROMO PLAN - MARKETINGOn February 6: live broadcast on Radio Classique of Berlioz's Requiem from the Philharmonie, conducted by Tuban Sokhiev and featuring Bryan Hymel in the tenor part.
