I hope it’s better than his crude, shouting Verdi….
Surprising…I’ve known Piotr personally for several years (when he and his wife are in New York) and I’ve never even thought about his age. His demeanor in person and on stage is perpetually youthful.
Also, in response to “Anonymous” – while you might describe Piotr Beczala’s singing with many words, “crude” would NEVER be among them. “Musical”? “elegant”? “dramatically engaged”? Absolutely. “Crude”? Never.
He’s a fine singer.. with more off nights in phases than one might expect considering his technique and intelligence.
Indeed – “crude” is hardly an appropriate term (and I’ve seen him in many performances) – but, in Verdi, he’s no Bergonzi.
Who is!!!!
