"Debussy's cycle Ariettes oubliees at once showcases Tehoval's rapport with the composer's soundworld of poised sensuality and tonal finesse." - BBC Music Magazine Soprano Sheva Tehoval, accompanied by Daniel Heide, performs a beautiful selection of songs including works by Debussy, Rihm, R Strauss and Schonberg. Rewarded in numerous singing competitions, Tehoval's artistry soon started attracting international attention. At age 23 she was the youngest laureate ever of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels; she garnered further prizes at the German National Music Competition (Deutscher Musikwettbewerb), the SWR Junge Opernstars competition (First Prize), and the Luitpold Advancement Prize at the Kissingen Summer Festival. Sheva has already performed on many European stages, including the Theatre de la Monnaie in Brussels, Theater an der Wien in Vienna, the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg, the Philharmonie in Cologne, and the Herkulessaal in Munich. Apart from her success as an opera singer, Sheva has been frequently invited to give vocal recitals at a number of international venues: the Beethovenhaus in Bonn, the Schubertiada in Vilabertrn (Spain), SWR Festival Rheinvokal, the Bad Kissingen Summer Festival, and "Das Lyrische Salon" at Ettersburg Castle near Weimar; her most frequent duo partners at the piano are Christoph Schnackertz and Daniel Heide. Her interest in a wide gamut of styles is notable, ranging from Classical/Romantic opera and concert repertoire, including the world of artsong and naturally the music of the 20th and 21st centuries. Sheva's great curiosity to learn new repertoire is the driving force that leads her to embark on innovative musical paths.
