Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg - 28 05 25
VIAGGIO DELL'ANIMA
Next to his photo with the view of Hamburg, Rolando wrote these words : "My pearl!"
All of us who attended his concert also had a pearl : his voice!
A magnificent evening, with Rolando in his absolute highest form. The splendid voice shone with all its extraordinary qualities, exceptional beauties, offering a perfect and refined expression of human emotions.
At every concert of Rolando, one of my favourite moments is that of his very first notes. The joy to hear THE VOICE live again!
Ever since I first heard the "Viaggio dell'anima" in Merano in 2024, and after, for a second time, in Schweinfurt in 2025, it immediately became a most cherished favorite of mine.
For me, this mostly Monteverdi programme is one of the best in Rolando's entire repertoire. Every note retains its appeal! A fantastic choice! All notes he sings with all his energy and irresistible performing skills, are a Baroque perfection, the encounter of the voice and this music full of timeless beauty reveals another wonder.
Armato il cor, Si dolce é'l il tormento, Rosa del ciel, Possente spirto, Zefiro torna, Damigella tutta bella, Vi ricorda, o boschi ombrosi "lead the score", not forgetting every other note Rolando sang.
Rolando and Wolfgang Katchner presented in some words the pieces.
The musicians of lautten Compagney BERLIN and Wolfgang Katchner played with great finesse, elegance and virtuosity this demanding Renaissance and Baroque music.
We had the immense happiness to hear two encores.
The grateful audience thanked the artists with several standing ovations!
KÖSZÖNÖM, ROLANDO!
