TimeOut New York says Lawrence Brownlee’s new Virtuoso Rossini Arias recording is proof that the “high-flying tenor continues his path to the top.”
“…it’s nice for collectors to have worthy accounts of Zelmira and L’occasione fa il ladro as well. In the latter opera’s “D’ogni più sacro impegno,” Brownlee takes a long, leisurely weekend on his shining last high note. His breath control, impressive throughout, is wedded to dazzling agility…In just one example, Brownlee starts the first track (from La gazza ladra) with a melting messa di voce ornament, throws in a high D in recitative and dispatches the aria’s demanding passagework like child’s play. Every cut on the disc supplies similarly stylish thrills.” —David Shengold, TimeOut
