Colori d'Amore

"Kermes has a pure, wide-ranging soprano voice, marvellously flexible and even in its usage. The recital is called "Colori d'amore", and the variety of her expressive coloration is certainly a feature...In all she is expertly accompanied by Le Musiche Nove, clearly a body of expert players, imaginatively directed by Claudio Osele." (Gramophone)

"there is no more individual or idiosyncratic baroque diva around." (The Sunday Times)

Simone Kermes, crowned "The Queen of Baroque" by Opera News, presents her eagerly awaited follow-up album to her multi-award-winning album Lava, which was Editor's Choice in Gramophone and Disc of the Month in BBC Music Magazine. Colori d'Amore (The Colours Of Love) is a selection of virtuosic baroque arias bound together by the theme of love, almost all of which are world premiere recordings, having been unjustly neglected for centuries.

"Kermes is as glittering in her bravura as she is spellbinding in lamentation" The Sunday Times

"Laser-like voice, mind-blowing technique" The Guardian
