I am sure all the experts and music critics out there will be able to pick holes in this performance of Lascia ch'io pianga by Aksel, Of course there is always someone willing and eager to criticise. Writing as someone who merely appreciates good music and indeed,Artists of all types, I find this, and so many of his other performances ,to be absolutely superb. The way he interprets the music and uses this incredible instrument that he has at his disposal ,albeit tor far too short a time , is very, very special. We are so fortunate that he has been able to record so many of his performances. I can only thank him and wish him all the very best for his future singing career,,now as a Baritone. Look forward to many more years of him entertaining us .
