Awards and reviews
18th April 2013
All those excerpts [Rigoletto, Macbeth, Don Carlo, La Traviata and I Lombardi], in a slightly resonant acoustic, show Villazon to be a master Verdian, able to realise the composer’s intentions by following the music exactly as intended...a good memento of a singer in his vocal prime in repertoire in which, for too brief a period, he excelled.
5th January 2013
Villazón's fiery, temperamental vocal character is particularly well suited to Verdi's heroes, and he delivers "La Donna è Mobile" with every ounce of the Duke's disdainful promiscuity on bulging display.
