But there is one protaganist, the Baritone, Alfredo García, who recites and interprets the reckless soldier of Stravinky´s piece and, without continuum, sings the role in the Poulenc. He is very good in both works, but it is the sum of the two that shows the merit of the challenge won. Maybe the dead acoustic of the Sala Verde (Green Auditorium) of the Teatros del Canal muffles the merit of the singer, but it comes out unscathed in a combat that puts all of a modern singer´s registers into play: singing, theatricality, spunk and versatility.
To sum it up, a great artistic success…once more, when risk lurks, great artists apply themselves to give their best.
In the press
Du bord d’abîmes, includes the special participation of Baritone, Alfredo García… García plays here with his evident acting abilities, creating personalities, including the most dramatic moments, with a great freshness, a full voice, beatiful, well placed, elegant, as he has shown throughout his now quite long career. He was greatly applauded.
