Celebrating three decades of artistic excellence, Malena Ernman presents "30 år som artist," a captivating journey through her illustrious career. This album, released on March 31, 2023, under Roxy Recordings, is a testament to her versatility and mastery across a diverse range of genres, including requiem, Swedish ballads, and Christmas music.
Spanning a rich 91 minutes, the album features a stunning array of tracks that showcase Malena's extraordinary vocal prowess and emotional depth. From the hauntingly beautiful "Ombra mai fù" by Handel to the soaring "Casta Diva" from Bellini's "Norma," and the iconic "Dido's Lament" by Purcell, Malena delivers a performance that is both technically impeccable and deeply moving. The album also includes beloved Swedish classics like "Min plats på jorden" and "I det fria," as well as timeless pieces such as "Ave Maria" and "Sempre Libera" from Puccini's "La Traviata."
Malena's interpretation of Rachmaninov's "Vespers" and the powerful "Requiem" by Fauré adds a sacred and contemplative dimension to the album. The inclusion of "The Summer Knows," with lyrics by Marilyn and Alan Bergman, and the folk song "Black Is the Colour (USA)" performed live, further highlights her ability to connect with audiences across different musical landscapes.
The album concludes with a selection of pieces that underscore Malena's ability to convey both joy and sorrow, from the playful "Der Hölle Rache" from Mozart's "Die Zauberflöte" to the tender "O mio babbino caro" from Puccini's "Gianni Schicchi." "30 år som artist" is not just a collection of songs but a celebration of Malena Ernman's enduring artistry and her ability to touch the hearts of listeners with her extraordinary voice and profound musicality.
