Finals - November 5th 2021 Opera Crown 2nd Tbilisi International Voice Competition Tbilisi Opera and Ballet State Orchestra Conductor - Kakhi Solomnishvili
A beautiful, heart-felt performance of a notoriously difficult aria. The breath control was superb, and the notes blossomed out into perfectly controlled, glorious sound. I wish the recitative could have been included in the performance, giving heart and context for this love aria, which was sung with amazing technical artistry. Bravo, and may you have a great career! You went in bocco lupo, and you were the victor!
Never heard of this young tenor. Very nice voice! No problems with the high b in this aria (or h as we used to say in Sweden and as they still say in Germany ) .
Very VERY good.. This is very uncomfortable music to sing, most often. Great discipline here. Excellent. What’s that aria that Gedda sings?? “Magische Töne”..would be great to hear from you. Bravo!
I’ve heard quite a few interpretations of this beautiful and extremely difficult aria, including by some of the best known tenors. I thought Mr. Britten’s version here deserves a big round of applause as it was one of the better attempts. Your comment Sir sounds out of line.
