In 2010, Aleksandra Buczek went on a New Year’s concert tour of China with a repertoire consisting of the works of Johann Strauss. In the same year the first solo album of the artist, Poniatowski Rediscovered Opera Arias, was released. The album contains selected arias from the composer’s operas, recorded for the first time.
Aleksandra Buczek as Laura in Poniatowski’s Pierre de Médicis (in spectacular arias in the first act and subsequent ensembles) once more demonstrates the great sounding of her soprano and its lovely dark nuances, as well as the thickness of her lower register, which is uncommon for high voices
– wrote Marłgorzata Komorowska on the pages of Ruch Muzyczny.
In 2013, Aleksandra Buczek debuted at the National Theatre in Brno in Mozart’s Don Giovanni in the role of Donna Anna. In the same year the album Verbum Nobile by Stanisław Moniuszko recorded by the artist with the Szczecin Castle Opera company received the prestigious International Classical Music Award. The album was also nominated for a Fryderyk award.
In the role of Ms Łagodzianka Moniuszko was generous with Italian-style fiorituras (in the duet with the baritone of the alleged Stanisław and in the final ensemble), and extreme melancholy in the elegy, while Aleksandra Buczek’s efficient soprano adds to the delicate coquetry.
– commented Ruch Muzyczny.
During the 7th Polish Music Festival in Kraków, the artist participated in the Polish premiere of the opera Pierre de Médicis by Józef Michał Ksawery Poniatowski, a composer of Polish origin who was born in Rome. Pierre de Médicis also appeared in the form of a CD album, which was repeatedly broadcast by BBC Radio 3, and was positively received by critics in Poland and abroad. In 2014 Aleksandra Buczek sang in the premiere performance of Oskar Kolberg’s King of Shepherds.
The artist has leading soprano roles in her repertoire: Violetta (La Traviata), Amina (La Sonnambula), Maria (Maria di Rohan), Lucia (Lucia di Lammermoor) Gilda (Rigoletto), Musetta (La Bohème), Donna Anna (Don Giovanni), Laura Salviati (Pierre de Médicis), Roxana (King Roger). She also keenly performs oratorios and works by contemporary Polish composers like Requiem for my Friend by Zbigniew Preisner, Angelus by Wojciech Kilar, and Symphony of Sorrowful Songs by Henryk Mikołaj Górecki. She has worked with conductors such as: Eduardo López Banzo, Łukasz Borowicz, Massimiliano Caldi, Mark Elder, Peter Feranec, Vladimir Kiradjiev, Jerzy Maksymiuk, Marek Tracz.
