REPERTOIRE
Diana Damrau’s concert repertoire includes many of the masterpieces of the sacred canon including J S Bach’s “Christmas Oratorio”, “Passions” and famous Cantata “Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen”. Handel’s “Messiah”, Haydn’s “Creation” and the Requiems of Mozart and Schubert, Brahms’s “German Requiem” also feature.
Being as noted an interpreter of Mozart’s music as she is, Damrau has performed a great many of his concert arias and continues to sing them in her concerts.
As a champion of 20th century and contemporary music, the soprano has performed works by composers including Poulenc, Lorin Maazel, André Previn, Iain Bell and Matthias Pintscher.
Chamber music is another of Diana Damrau’s passions. As an “Ambassador of song”, she has steadily expanded her song repertoire adding to it with every new programme. In addition to her solo recitals, she has also performed with smaller chamber music ensembles as well as concerts of the duet and quartet literature.
