Terra Mater
Malena Ernman (mezzo-soprano) / L'arpeggiata, Christina Pluhar (directior)
[ Erato Classics / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 14 February 2025
Christina Pluhar's new album, Terra Mater, is a hymn to nature.
"This wonderful program is exposed to the four winds, in which you will hear the chirping of the nightingales, sweet birds, cuckoos, frogs and chicken, the whispers of the winds, heavy storms and the rumbling of the seas."
Baroque repertoire, traditional music and improvisations are at the base of Terra Mater, recorded with L'Arpeggiata and the wonderful Swedish mezzo-soprano Malena Ernman (mother of the climate activist Greta Thunberg).
The variety in this programme, ranging from Handel's Serse: Crude furie degli orridi abissi to a traditional folk song: The Taylor and the Mouse, gives Malena Ernman a terrific stage to show her immense story telling talent.
The release ties with the celebration of the 25th anniversary of L'Arpeggiata.
