Winning the Swedish Melodifestivalen gave me the possibility to record this cd. Without the swedish peoples vote this cd would not exist. So thank you everyone who voted for me!!! This is really your cd…
I realize that the majority of the listeners are not totaly familiar with classical recordings…. so I thought I might say something about how a classical recording is made and in what ways its different to other recordings. When you record a classsical cd there are some rules … Basically to guarantee the quality of the work – and of the artists. For instance it has to be recorded live together with the orchestra ; and you can not in any way alter with the sound. No effects. No compressing… Therefore it sounds different from an ordinary pop cd or what you hear on the radio…. The volume is sometimes very low and sometimes very high! And some sounds are not left out. Breathing etc. Sometimes you hear someone moving or an instrument being moved. For instance; if you listen carefully to Lascia Ch’io Pianga you can even hear the conductor breathing with the orchestra.
And there are only 10 arias really… as Caro Mio Ben isn’t part of an opera. Solveigs sang is part of Peer Gynt and thats not an opera either, it’s a play. So maybe it’s 9,5 arias… But you knew that. Right?
