First round performance, September 2019, Wigmore Hall, London - Tyler Wottrich, piano
“I was much more taken by Clara Osowski, a 31-year-old with a rarely beautiful mezzo-soprano, who sang from inside the music with unaffected purity and sincerity. Her rendering of Liszt’s Uber allen Gipfeln was rapt in its stillness and she made something chastely moving of Howell’s King David. Her golden glow in Schubert’s Im Abendrot earned her a consolation prize for the competition’s best performance of music by that composer, but I felt she deserved better.”
