September/October 2021

Antonio Pompa-Baldi successfully negotiates Piana’s bridge between virtuoso display and the operas’ compelling narratives. His performances are notable for their sterling technique, beautiful tone, and sensitivity of phrasing. Throughout, Pompa-Baldi reminds us of the profound connection between grand singing and great instrumental performance.
