Bliss deftly wielded his silky tenor through Ferrando’s more touching scenes; faced with Fiordiligi’s initial refusal and Dorabella’s unfaithfulness, his cavatina “Tradito, schernito,” rang with a fine, crestfallen timbre. This seeming defeat tinged his later duet with Car, “Fra gli amplessi,” with a desperate passion that was hard to resist, as heard from the beckoning caress he placed on the phrase “In me alone you’ll find husband, lover, and more if you wish.”
Para el final, y expresamente, hay que citar al más que interesante Masetto del barítono Josep-Ramon Olivé y a la soprano Leonor Bonilla como Zerlina, quien fue de menos a más para acabar deslumbrando con una voz de gran calidad, muy cuidada línea canora y perfecta adecuación al rol.
