ROLANDO AND HIS MOZART

" ... VERUM GAUDIUM"

(Words above the pipes of the organ at the Gewandhaus Leipzig)

Yes! The concert was a true joy!

The program was the same as in Zurich. This was my second evening in this Mozart series and also my second concert at this hall, after Rolando's fantastic recital on 20 August, 2016.

A warm feeling to listen to his performance another time at this iconic concert venue.

Rolando was in a greatest mood, with his cherished tremendous singing qualities, accompanied with all his unparalleled, highly special performer's skills.

As a strong bond, the chemistry between artist and audience was the most powerful, a palpable, emergent connection where Rolando's art and his charisma created a shared experience throughout the evening.

At all the concerts of Rolando, I try to choose just one aria which I adore the most.

What an impossible endeavour ... "Voi che fausti" or "Or che il dover ..." or the two pieces from "Idomeneo" .... or .... or ... or ...

I could mention each one.

Rolando sings every aria in such a magical way that makes any choice impossible.

His engaging Mozart performance, with hIs passionate singing gives an emotional impact to each moment.

In this series, Rolando introduced and presented at every concert another young artist. This time he invited Aleksandra Domashchuk, the deeply talented Ukrainian soprano, as his partner.

After three wonderful encores ("Va dal furor portata", Duet of Pamina and Papageno, "Con ossequio, con rispetto"), the amazing concert ended with massive standing ovations, acclaims, tumultuous cheering.

An amusing episode (with the permission of Rolando) :

Rolando brought two pairs of completely identical black patent leather shoes. When he caught two pieces, he wasn't paying attention, and both shoes were right-footed. And, on stage, until the Papageno aria and the duet of Papagena and Papageno, he wore these shoes.

Before the encores, Rolando laughed and told about this mistake, and by then he was already singing in his own "private" street shoes.

With the VOICE in its blooming, with its full potential and beauty, another glorious concert!

KÖSZÖNÖM, ROLANDO!
