Camilla Tilling
Soprano
“Tilling sounds at the height of her powers, her voice still limpid, fresh and youthful, her interpretative skills those of a mature artist.”
(The Sunday Times)
Undoubtedly one of Sweden’s most remarkable voices, Camilla Tilling’s beguiling tone and unfailing musicality have secured her position as a firm favourite with conductors, audiences and critics alike across a career that has now spanned more than two decades. She has been a steady presence on the world’s leading opera, concert and recital stages while simultaneously building an impressive discography that includes orchestral works by Haydn with Bernard Haitink, Handel and Purcell with Emmanuelle Haïm, Grieg with Paavo Järvi, Brahms with Marek Janowski and Cherubini with Riccardo Muti in addition to recital collections of Gluck, Mozart, Strauss, Schumann, Grieg and many other composers.
Tilling stands out as one of the world’s most sought-after concert performers, collaborating regularly with today’s foremost conductors including recent appearances under Gustavo Dudamel with both Het Concertgebouw Orkest and Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra in Mahler’s Symphony No.4, under Esa-Pekka Salonen with London Philharmonia Orchestra in Schoenberg’s Gurrelieder, with Gianandrea Noseda and Washington National Symphony Orchestra in Beethoven’s Symphony No.9, with Omer Meir Welber and Orchestre national de France in Dutilleux’s Correspondances and under François-Xavier Roth with London Symphony Orchestra in Berg’s Sieben frühe Lieder. Tilling has toured extensively in Peter Sellar’s stagings of Bach’s St Matthew Passion and St John Passion with Berliner Philharmoniker and Sir Simon Rattle and she enjoyed an enduring collaboration with the late Sir Bernard Haitink under whose baton she sang her first Beethoven, Missa Solemnis at Teatro alla Scala and she was the Strauss soprano of choice for his historic final concerts with Radio Filharmonish Orkest at Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw in 2019.
