The past seasons have seen the release of many acclaimed recordings, notably Carolyn’s first solo orchestra CD, Canteloube “Chants d’Auvergne” with Tapiola Sinfonietta and Pascal Rophé and the acclaimed album Trennung: Songs of Separation with Kristian Bezuidenhout, both under the BIS label.
Plans for this season and beyond include recitals at the Wigmore Hall, Oxford Lieder, the Amsterdam Concergebow and Tokyo’s Oji Hall, performances with Yomimuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra (Beethoven 9), the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra (St John Passion), Barcelona Symphony Orchestra, Bach Collegium Japan, performances with Les Violons du Roy in Quebec and Strauss’ Four Last Songs with Residentie Orkest and Jun Maerkl. Among her many performance engagements, 22/23 also sees the release of further highly anticipated recordings.
In 23/24 Carolyn will make her debut at Berlin Staatsoper as well as releasing what will be her 100th Recording as a featured solo artist.
