Soprano Golda Schultz is announced as an exclusive recording artist with Alpha Classics. Her debut album ​‘This Be Her Verse’, recorded with collaborative pianist Jonathan Ware, is due for release on 8 April and champions all-female composers including works by Clara Schumann, Emilie Mayer, Rebecca Clarke and Nadia Boulanger, alongside a new commission from composer Kathleen Tagg and librettist Lila Palmer. 

According to Schultz, ​‘This Be Her Verse’ offers feminine perspectives on the big questions of life: reflections on love and fear, the relationship between man and nature, on one’s own identity. 

A highly-acclaimed duo, Schultz and Ware recently performed this programme at Berlin’s Pierre Boulez Saal, of which Der Tagesspiegel writes: 

‘Golda Schultz can effortlessly expand her lyric soprano into magnificent power, but above all she beguiles the listener in the quiet passages, with fine shadings, when she lets individual notes appear in changing light, as if they were polished stones, which are illuminated from different sides. Her lyrical comprehension is exemplary, whether she sings in French, English or German, the vocal technique is perfectly in place, and in her interpretation, she succeeds in striking a balance between artful affectation and authentic feeling.’ 

This season Schultz and Ware present ​‘This Be Her Verse’ in Cologne, Berlin, Dublin, Aix-en-Provence, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Vancouver, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Elsewhere this season, Golda appears at the Metropolitan Opera, Opéra national de Bordeaux, with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, and Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France.
