Jack Swanson / Рецензии

“Jack Swanson (Lindoro) can be added to the short list of top tier Rossini tenors. His brilliant, focused lyric instrument has a captivating color, and his effortless execution of endless racing melismas was jaw dropping in its elan and artistry. Mr. Swanson is enthralling not only for his assured, stylish vocalizing but also for his amiable, boyishly handsome stage presence. He brought the house down with his first aria, capturing our hearts, and then came back for the rest of us with a wonderfully detailed interpretation. Watch this talented young man’s star rise rapidly in coming months.” “The most brilliant is the young American Jack Swanson, who masters the difficult role of Rodrigo as if she were a nursery rhyme. It's almost an injustice to sing like that and look so dazzling. The fact that he also gets the most out of this actually rather ungrateful role of the second lover is obvious, but still has to be mentioned again. He quite rightly collects the biggest applause for his aria in the second act.” “Jack Swanson was everything I’ve ever wanted in a Mozartian tenor in the role of Belmonte. His heroic tone was ideal for the pining lover on a rescue mission, and his coloratura was smooth as silk. Mozart’s music can be notoriously tricky for tenors, but Swanson’s voice was made for this role. He also brought just the right touch of humor to Belmonte, a character that can sometimes come across as a bit boring. His physical comedy was at its best when paired up with Pedrillo, and his love duets with Konstanze showcased all the tenderness and passion that the audience desired.”
