Artiste: Carlo Putelli

A pure and intense evening of music, which deserved the warm ovation of the audience at the end of the execution. 

Tony Pappano’s recipe for a concert programme: take a 20th century Italian one act opera, follow it with a romantic symphony chopped in half, then throw in a related German aria; play without a break. It may sound like a train wreck in the making, but the result was a triumph.
