BWW Reviews: 'Vittorio Grigolo: The Italian Tenor' Philharmonie Berlin
by Marcel Konrath
- Jun 8, 2012
Mit der Ouverture zu Verdis FORZA DEL DESTINO beginnt ein Abend, der im Vorfeld einiges versprach. Zählt doch Grigolo zu einem der derzeit gefragtesten Tenöre weltweit. Dann tritt er auf, raffiniert, bescheiden wirkend, im Vorspiel zu Donizettis Arie aus Duca d´Alba. VITTORIO GRIGOLO hat eine starke Präsenz, wirkt aber dennoch „spannungslos“ - gesanglich betrachtet. So wirkt das Stück als erste Nummer zum Einsingen und langsamen warm werden.
