Soprano, Clara Sandler, a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, feels at home in a wide range of styles, from opera, oratorio and recitals, to zarzuela and tango. Critics have praised her singing as “both powerful and gentle, capturing a remarkable range of emotions”, and her voice possessing “a radiantly rich and mellow tone quality”. Sandler appeared as the featured soloist at the Boston premiere of Gorecki’s Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, for soprano and orchestra, with the Boston Chamber Ensemble. With this orchestra she performed Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder, praised by The Boston Globe for her “dark and attractive timbre”. Some of her operatic roles include Oscar Un ballo in maschera, Nella Gianni Schicchi, named “Best Opera” in 1999 by The Boston Globe, Yum-Yum The Mikado, Elsie Maynard Yeomen of the Guard, performed with the Boston Academy of Music, and Papagena Magic Flute with the New Bedford Symphony. She appeared in the world premiere of Daniel Pinkham’s opera The Cask of Amontillado with Boston Modern Orchestra Project. Her oratorio credits include the soprano solos in Haydn’s The Creation and Harmoniemesse, Schubert’s Mirjams Siegesgesang, Bizet’s Te Deum, Mendelssohn’s Elijah, Mozart’s Requiem and Coronation Mass, Bach’s Magnificat and Cantata #80, and Handel’s Messiah, among others. An avid researcher of music from Spain and Latin America, Sandler has presented many recitals in Boston, New York, Washington, DC, and in her native Buenos Aires. Her CD Alma Apasionada, Songs from Spain and Argentina will be released by Newport Classic on February 2006.
