Egyptian soprano Fatma Said has reached a new milestone in her career with her latest album, LIEDER. The album, featuring interpretations of German art songs, has received high praise from critics and audiences across Europe. On her newest album, she collaborated with some of the most renowned musical talents.
LIEDER has garnered international acclaim across Europe. Fatma has been honored with the prestigious Diapason d’Or, one of France’s highest classical music awards. She has also earned the Diamond Winner title from French Opéra Magazine. These achievements place her among the top vocalists in the classical music world today.
Her mastery of the German Lied has drawn widespread acclaim. Critics note her ability to infuse each piece with emotional depth and linguistic precision. Diapason D’Or highlighted her “subtle inflections, intentions, and accents,” calling her interpretations “remarkable.” SWR Kultur noted, “Perhaps someone had to come from far away to remind the world of music about the German Lied, about Schubert, Schumann, and Brahms… If one didn’t know that she was born in Cairo and began studying singing there before moving to Berlin – one wouldn’t even suspect it.”
Presto Music described LIEDER as “one of the most compelling Lieder recordings I’ve heard in years, and I urge anyone who loves German song to give it a whirl.” Forum Opera called it “a truly exceptional recital—the most striking, the most varied, the most virtuosic, the most unsettling, and the most precise in both its details and overall cohesion… and also the most moving.” Operaversum declared, “Fatma Said is addictive when it comes to Lieder singing… But with the German art song, she may have even set a monument for eternity.”
Fatma’s success reflects her dedication and artistry. With each performance, she continues to push boundaries and inspire audiences worldwide.
