Klosters Music - Joie de vivre

Coloraturas resemble champagne pearls: sparkling, stimulating, soaring! When the French soprano Julie Fuchs models coloratura arias by Mozart and Rossini on her return to Klosters, she spreads pure joie de vivre with her vocal art right at the beginning of the festival. Joie de vivre can also be felt in orchestral works, such as the exuberant overture to Gioachino Rossini's opera "Il barbiere di Siviglia" or Franz Schubert's cheerful Symphony No. 3 in D major. With its transparent playing, the Camerata Salzburg is considered the ideal cast for this repertoire. Mozart is a home game for the Salzburgers anyway. And so the opening concert closes with his famous motet "Exsultate, jubilate", in which Julie Fuchs gives the audience almost unearthly joy.
