Piotr Beczala has the best voice.
Piotr Beczala is a superlative tenor and, in his debut at the Teatro Colón for the opening of the 2022 season of the Mozarteum Argentino, stand from end to end.
The institution is celebrating its seventh anniversary this year and, before the concert began, the daughter of Jeannette Arata de Erize (1922-2013), honorary president and founder of the Mozarteum for over half a century, gave a few words of gratitude. to the tenor for waiting two years to finish its presentation and also to the public for its accompaniment throughout the year.
Beczala’s voice came at its best, dazzling his entire vocal spectrum. There aren’t any strains or technical difficulties to be heard, and that confidence is coupled with a deep ability to connect with the emotional nature of the music. Choosing a smart program It well represents the repertoire of the tenor, who has been in his career for 30 years, and allows him to reveal his endless qualities.
Piotr Beczala has a 30 -year career.
The cover letter is a lively version of this or thataria ng Rigolettoone of Verdi’s most famous operas, and went on to That’s when the flute hit me (A Ball in a Mask). The affirmative spirit of arias This allowed Beczala to show her great presence on stage and make her strong voice heard.with unusual homogeneity in all registers.
The tenor began to clap and applaud mattinatafrom leoncavallo, one of the most beautiful melodies written in Italian. The work helped mediate towards the darker and more melancholy tone of Verdi that followed.
When will I be able to calm down (Luisa Miller) –instead of the announced desert on earth– Y Ah, and I am (The Trovatore), both resolved in a very pure line and the wonderful phrase that characterizes the Polish tenor.
Knowing how to take care of her dark tone with delicate emotion, Beczala offers a rich fusion of lyrical tenor-spinto.
Piotr Beczala was dazzled by his perfectly calibrated middle voice.
A fresh air was followed by a selection of three songs by Tosti and its references to nature and love. perfectmost famous of all, again reaped more ovation in the challenging passage in the last phrase. It’s amazing how Beczala’s soft singing, with its perfectly calibrated middle voice, just holds on to a thread without losing its stability.
The first part closes with Aria z kurantem (The Haunted Mansion)), one of the most famous operas of Stalisław Moniuszko, the most important composer of operas in Poland, a contemporary of Chopin. The pathetic tone the tenor gave to aria was heartbreaking.
The second part
Following the clever line of mixing songs and aria, the program opens with a charming interpretation, always with exceptional flexibility and expressiveness, of three songs by Stefano Donaudyone of the most represented authors of the Italian chamber song.
Then the nice impressionistic tone of A dreamthe first of Rachmaninoff’s four songs, introduced a more intimate tone, and the color of the voice displayed by the singer was striking along with the refinement of Racke’s piano.
Piotr Beczala is the owner of the flashy and hot phrase.
It’s amazing how Beczala brings together an emotional world, with flashy and warm speech, for each of the songs passing through songs: the homeland, nature, nostalgia for the land and hope for the arrival of spring. On the verge of sobbing, he suggested nostalgia in Huwag mo akong kantahan, dalaga.
The vitality caused by spring Mountain spring water is eclipsed in the dramatic Horse, horse, horse vi udalilis (Eugene Onegin is Tchaikovsky). The change and emotional delivery is exceptional, as is the whole concert.
In conclusion, one of the public favorites is not lacking, within the romantic opera: Love … Ah! You are alone! (Roméo et Juliette de Gounod) The evening closed with a presentation of Recondita Harmony who sighed, and proceeded on And they made the star shine(Puccini’s Tosca).
The synergy between Camillo Radicke and Beczała is noticeable on the whole. With exceptional sonority, Radicke has a great performance.
The tenor thanked with long applause Why wake me up (Werther, Massenet). Includes other encores The Flower That You Will Give Me (Carmen, Bizet), core ngrato (Catari, Buti), You are my whole heart (Das Land des Lächelns, Lehár), Zueignung (Strauss) and the important Pamietam ciche jasne zlote dnie (Klowwicz).
