Elisabeth Goell 

"....a voice as clear as the autumn air with poetic strength, capable of every dynamic nuance and an incredible sensibility......"

 

 

 

Elisabeth Goell, soprano, was born to Dutch-German parents in Heidenheim in Germany. Her early years were spent learning the recorder, piano, flute and singing in her Prize-winning local choir.  When Elisabeth won the first prize at the Lieder Competition, Dublin, her true vocal potential was discovered and furthered by Paul Farrington and Emma Kirkby, London. 

 

Since then, she has been in great demand as a soloist with chamber ensembles, for Oratorios, at Festivals and as a Recitalist throughout Ireland, the UK, Germany and the Netherlands.  

She has worked with international Artists such as Elizabeth Wallfish and John Elwes. She has received a grant from the Arts Council Northern Ireland to record all 29 songs of Clara Schumann, using the composer’s own piano, which has been in Ireland since the mid-nineteenth century, on which she is currently making a TV documentary in collaboration with Asset TV.
