Josefine Göhmann & Mario Häring - RéBelles!: Portraits lyriques (2022) [Official Digital Download 24/48]

For the German-Chilean soprano Josefine Göhmann , diversity in subject and era forms the core of her artistic interest with a stylistic range from late Renaissance to Mozart, Strauss, Messiaen and contemporary music.

In a duo with pianist Mario Häring , Josefine Göhmann will present her debut album “reBELLES! portraits lyriques" on the subject of female self-determination and 100 years of the women's rights movement on the Solo Musica label. Deutschlandfunk is dedicating a music panorama and the program “Wortspiel” to the “reBELLES!” project, where the commissioned work “La Vierge de Cluny . Chant d'une femme” for soprano a capella is analytically presented by the Filipino composer Feliz Anne Reyes Macahis (*1987).

When planning this program, the artist used postcards from museum visits as a guide: the paintings say a lot about how women were seen in the 20th century and how women in self-portraits (e.g. by Frida Kahlo, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Anita Rée) have seen for themselves. She developed the idea that if song and painting are set analogously, the album could correspond to a visit to a museum. There are four different rooms. The first is Vierge with depictions of virginity in the context of the biblical testament. Then there is the second room for the Sirène type of woman, in which the more ethereal femininity is depicted. In Héroïne, women are primarily portrayed as heroines. And finally Ophélie devotes herself to the literary Shakespearean character who stands for himself,

This album is an aesthetic proposal for the discourse on femininity, on being a woman today and for a hundred years. The artist's very personal feelings also play a role in determining which pieces are combined and how. Josefine Göhmann did not only want to look at texts, works and interpretations of women, but also at our cultural heritage. There is nothing wrong with only looking for works by women. She finds every discovery of a composer and approaches to her music very important. But that wasn't her idea at réBelles. This album is the mirror of what she likes and loves and what she feels fits together.
