Nicolò Balducci: Chi m‘insegna il caro padre, Oberto - Alcina, G.F. Händel (2021)

Bonita voz la de Nicolò, emotiva, con volumen y muy homogénea. Bravooo.

A truly extraordinarily beautiful voice, with top notes, pinpoint accuracy and control of his sound which singers well over twice his age will envy! Gramsphone, a prestigious UK publication devoted to CD reviews, suggested in November 2022 his voice was one to 'to watch' and, of course, YT wws the place to sample his performances. What a revelation! Counter-tenors are much more integrated into the world of classical, especially baroque, music now, but all too often I find them too 'fruity', too 'reedy' or simply not nice to listen to. Philippe Jaroussky was the outstanding exception and, to my mind, the greatest counter-tenor EVER. It seems almost sacrosanct to suggest that Nicolo is at least his equal ... but he is, combining Jaroussky's profound musicality and charisma with a stage presence and acting ability which sets him apart! At such a young age, he will doubtless develop even further. Not just a star in the making ... but a supernova! Listen to all his other performances on YT and I suspect you'll agree.

OBERTO Più non lo trovo, e 'alma mia dispera. Piange. Chi m'insegna il caro padre? Chi mi rende il genitor, per far lieto questo cor? M'abbandona la speranza; langue in me bella costanza; agitato è in me l'amor.
