Matheus Pompeu / Recenzijas

However, the unquestionable star of the evening was the Brazilian tenor Matheus Pompeu, who created Jontek. It is a fantastic, dramatic voice with a beautiful deep color, great technically and interpretably - the unforgettable aria Szumią jodły (in the Italian version of Fra gli abeti il vento geme) in its performance has received a well-deserved long ovation.

For a change, Matheus Pompeu turned out to be Jontek - not only a beautiful voice, but also a fairly free technique, and in addition the only singer who tried to create a character. It was even visible, because he turned to his partners with gesticulation, but above all it was heard, because only he built emotional phrases. And as the only soloist he sang so clearly that one could guess that he knows and understands words.
