„As in her recital CD with songs by Charles Ives, the polyglot singer scores not only with her well-
focused, clear voice, but also with her wide and expressive vocal palette and the mastery of
creative differentiation""Klassik Heute" magazine writes about Julia’s latest CD with songs by
Federico Mompou.
Versatility is the hallmark of the soprano's entire career: on the opera stage she was last heard as
Pamina in Mozart's "Magic Flute" at the Oper Leipzig, after having performed there last season as
a Flower Girl in Richard Wagner's "Parsifal" and as Friederike in the much-acclaimed world
premiere of Gerd Kühr's "Paradiese"
Rooted in the baroque vocal polyphony of Johann Sebastian Bach, it is now also the great classical and romantic works in which the soprano's "concise as a bell" (Süddeutsche Zeitung) and "lyrically luminous, wonderfully colored in the middle range" (Online Merker) voice comes into its own.
Her extensive discography documents the soprano's wide vocal and stylistic range: recordings of songs from the Classical, Romantic and Modern periods stand alongside leading roles from operas of various eras, recordings of the vocal works of Johann Sebastian Bach align with productions of music by contemporary composers; she has also appeared in video and documentary film productions for ARTE, 3Sat and others.
