Portuguese Artists, tenor José de Eça and pianist Luis Costa, launch their “Dichterliebe” with KNS Classical
Trained under the guidance of his father, the distinguished operatic baritone and Lieder singer José de Oliveira Lopes, José de Eça launches his debut CD with KNS Classical.
With the KNS artist Luis Costa on the piano, the Portuguese presents an absolutely romantic program, with the famous Liszt’s “Tre Sonetti di Petrarca” and one of the all-times Schumann’s best-known song cycle: Dichterliebe.
On this recording, in which both artists achieve an equally sustained performance, the vocal approach stands out not only by its brilliance, but mainly because it is able to perform, by elevating both pieces in accordance with the psychology of the absent character.
Capturing the trueness of each word, José de Eça embraces and fully respects this nineteen-century idea of a young lover in distress.
The CD is available on Itunes, Amazon or Spotify.
