401 Dutch Divas

Julia Bronkhorst (DvdM Nov 16)

JB150OperaLogoJulia Bronkhorst

The versatile soprano Julia Bronkhorst made numerous notable recordings in less known repertoire, among ese many Dutch song recordings and productions that were oriented toward South-African song repertoire. We bring an extensive portrait of this modest Diva whom we have followed with the video camera for some years. This resulted in unique world premiere recordings of Leo Samama's 'Ubuntu' and Caroline Ansink's opera Polish jews in Plan South. Six downloads and an array of photographs and videos provide a complete survey of her career since 1987.
