ORFEO SON IO

Bremen, 2016 - Bremen, 2026

A most cherished gift, a most treasured and invaluable present to attend also the first performance, 'L'Orfeo' on 3rd September, 2016, with all these magnificent performers.

There are great evenings, there are greatest evenings ...

For ROLANDO's performance in Bremen, how to find the right words, they are all missing ...

RolandOrfeo in red and black. And barefoot.

His heartbreaking movements, his nonverbal ways to express the most profound emotions, his gestures, his facial expressions in his deeply moving, very personalized choreography that touches the very depth of the heart ...

"Rosa del ciel". "Vi ricorda ..."", "Tu sei morta", "Possente spirto". "Qual honor". "Mille pene". "Que faró senza Euridice". "Sus ojos se cerraron". "Black Orpheus"...

In the most emotional moment, when Orfeo learns of Eurydice's death, RolandOrfeo falls down with a heart-rending movement, in his inconsolable despair, in his intense emotional pain.

Rolando is a master of "Trillo-goat", a vocal ornament used in early Baroque music, his brilliant performance takes the breath away.

The "Orfeo son io" CD is a dream selection. To hear it live - with, in the breathtaking performance by Rolando - "Black Orpheus" is a very special, extraordinary experience.

Christina Pluhar, the immense, exceptionally great musician, her superb, absolutely outstanding L'Arpeggiata with its incredibly rich sound, the wonderful, extremely moving Celine Scheen amazed the audience.

And the encores

A warmest, deeply human moment : when the most magical and bewitching of all voices sings these words : "Aber ich habe dich gewonnen und was will ich noch mehr" (But I have won you over, and what more could I want) aus "Ich wollte wie Orpheus singen" by Reinhard Mey, Rolando knelt down beside Christina Pluhar, and kissed her hand..

"Pur ti miro" by Monteverdi, with its celestial beauty closed the evening.

Standing ovations, illimite enthusiasm for this evening of unsurpassable beauty and boundless passion.

KÖSZÖNÖM, ROLANDO!

La chronique d'Antonella :

Due serate spagnole a Raesfeld (Westfalia)

Le sere del 15 e 16 agosto Rolando ha tenuto due magnifici concerti (con lo stesso programma) nel parco del castello di Raesfeld, accompagnato dal giovane soprano Charlotte Langner e dalla Philarmonie Westfalen diretta da Michael Zlabinger.
I due concerti hanno avuto come tema la Spagna, partendo da Massenet e Rossini, per arrivare ai bellissimi pezzi di zarzuela cantati alternativamente dai due interpreti o in duetto. 
Rolando ha sfoggiato un’ottima forma vocale, con interpretazioni sempre appassionanti, a partire dal suo cavallo di battaglia “O souverain” dal Cid di Massenet ai pezzi per tenore da varie zarzuelas e ai duetti dalla “ Luisa Fernanda” e da “El gato montés”. La sua voce è risuonata limpida, possente e solida, impressionando fortemente l’uditorio. La sua celebre sciarpa rossa, nella seconda parte, è diventata per l’ occasione una muleta da matador, durante l’esecuzione di « Torero quiero ser »!
Il soprano ha eseguito “Una voce poco fa” dal Barbiere di Siviglia nella versione appunto per soprano, con sovracuti, variazioni e gorgheggi insoliti nell’esecuzione di questo brano. E’ risultata più convincente nei pezzi di zarzuela, ne « Les filles de Cadix » di Delibes e nei duetti, questi ultimi interpretati con grande affiatamento con Rolando. Il concerto, molto apprezzato dal pubblico, si e’ chiuso con tre bis: il soprano ha cantato in tedesco “Du solist meiner Kaiser Seele sein” dall’operetta “Der favorit”, Rolando la splendida « No puede ser », e insieme, in un finale davvero trionfante, « Granada ».
L’orchestra e il direttore hanno ben accompagnato i cantanti, anche se bisogna dire che l’amplificazione resa necessaria dall’ambientazione all’aperto non ha certo giovato alla purezza dell’esecuzione.
Pubblico molto soddisfatto e festante, standing ovations, diluvio di applausi!

ROLANDO AND HIS PERFECT MOZART SELECTION

Before every concert, waiting is pure happiness and immense warm impatience.

How marvelous to have two concerts in three days with the same programme, in Lübeck and Flensburg.

To delve and explore even deeper into the composer"s genius and the magic of the vocal performance.

In Flensburg, Rolando shared his thoughts about this special programme prepared for the 270th anniversary of Mozart's birth.

Rolando has an affectionate tie not only to Mozart the composer, but also to Mozart, the human being.

This deep rapport allows Rolando to offer something very human in his performance.

That is what adds an emotional touch to every moment of his concerts, and makes them profoundly personal.

There is immediately an emotional resonance.

All these concert- and operatic arias are the most perfect jewels.

In the ornaments and coloraturas, all performed with a breathtaking clarity, Rolando's pin-point virtuosity is astonishing.

When performes by Rolando, I have a special attachment to the recitatives so important in Mozart.

The evening was a luxurious vocal experience with the endless splendor of THE VOICE.

Rolando's voice was shining, it was bright and brilliant, rich in colours, with all its magnificent shades.

Standing ovation, three encores, with fantastic singing and acting, countless bravi, stamping of feet.

The audience expressed their enthusiasm and delight.

There is a profound love bond between me and Rolando's "All-Mozart" programme since the very first time I listened to it.

In Flensburg, this was the sixth occasion.

KÖSZÖNÖM, ROLANDO
