The Contralto Corner has benifited from the interest of its readers on more than one occasion. Thanks to you, this page is now THE place to find information on those amazing women who sing in the contralto fach.
Once again, we have a suggestion from or readers. Ola Sletvold, who has already suggested two other contraltos, has pointed me in the direction of yet another fabulous singer.
Aafje Heynes is a Dutch contralto, who focused manily in the concert and oratorio areas of performance, with a key interest in Mahler. Indeed, her perfromance of Mahler's Second Symphony is regarded as a classic.
Below is a video of her performing one of my favourite contralto pieces, the haunting Dank, sei dir Herr attributed to G. F. handel.
Enjoy!
