Brahms: »Ein deutsches Requiem«
November 2021
mit Raphaël Pichon, Andrè Schuen, Pygmalion
The German soprano Nikola Hillebrand is praised for her bright, shining voice with a noble timbre, her lightness and sophisticated technique, and her heart-touching, charming presentation and her nuanced design.
Still at the beginning of her career, she has already sung at many leading opera and concert halls including Bavarian State Opera, the Glyndebourne Festival and the Wiener Musikverein.
In autumn 2020 Nikola will join the ensemble of the Semperoper Dresden as a soloist and will be here in the major roles of her subject such as Queen of the Night (Die Zauberflöte), Konstanze (Entführung aus dem Serail), Gilda (Rigoletto) and Gretel (Hänsel und Gretel) be experience.
„Dabei verzichtete Pichon auf jegliche Originalklangentschlackung. Er sorgte im Großen Saal trotz romantischer Klangschönheit, Dichte und Intensität für einen ausgewogenen, differenzierten Ton. Berührend schön sang zudem Sopranistin Nikola Hillebrand im fünften Satz "Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit", während Bariton André Schuen stets den richtigen Tonfall zwischen Intimität und den mahnenden Worten des Psalmisten fand.“
