Reviews

21st February 2015

loud, no-holds-barred singing that thrives on passion at any cost...Goldmark’s Die Königin von Saba sounds strained, but rare French arias by Gounod and Reyer come across vividly and he makes an intense Canio in Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci.

1st March 2015

Alagna is not one for great subtlety, but when he sings with clearly focused, red-blooded tone, direct emotion and vivid enunciation, he can hit straight at the heart of the operatic matter. The richly expressive accounts of Des Grieux’s arias from Puccini’s “Manon Lescaut” which open the programme demonstrate this forcefully.
