SHARON
ROSTORF-ZAMIR is one of Israel’s most accomplished artists.
At the age of 24, she was already a principal soloist with the Frankfurt
Opera House, where she stayed for five seasons. She has starred regularly
at the Israel Opera House, where her roles included Norina, Olympia, Pamina,
Cleopatra and many more. In 2002, the Israeli critics voted her "Opera
Singer of the Year.” She has appeared in Europe, Japan and the U.S.
in operas, song recitals and as a soloist with orchestras. Recently, she
sang in Handel's "Amadigi di Gaula" at the Handel Festspiele
in Halle, Germany, and with Al Ayre Español in Spain. She also
sang Mozart concert arias with the Deutsche Kammerorchester under the
baton of Dan Ettinger at the Berlin Philharmonic hall, and recorded Handel's
“Floridante” with the Complesso Barocco and Alan Curtis, for
Deutsche Gramophon/Archiv. She has performed the part of Agilea in Handel's
"Teseo", in Potsdam, Bayreuth, London and Oxford. This production
was released on DVD by Arthaus. Jonathan Zak, one of Israel’s leading
pianists, has performed as soloist with all of Israel's major orchestras
and appeared as soloist and recitalist both in Israel and abroad. He was
one of the founders of the world renowned "Yuval" Trio, with
whom he toured worldwide for over 25 years. The trio recorded for Deutsche
Gramophone, CBS Masterworks and others. Mr. Zak is appearing now with
Irena Friedland as a successful piano duo. Their recent recordings for
"Roméo Records" were highly praised in the major music
periodicals in the U.S. and Europe. This disc is the fruit of a longstanding
collaboration between Sharon Rostorf-Zamir and Jonathan Zak. |
