Reviews
“Among the singers, the big discovery was the young Italian bass Gianluca Buratto, whose huge, rich, finely focussed voice made rows of music professionals sit up and scrutinize their programs. As Charon in “Orfeo,” Buratto unleashed stentorian, black-clad tones, suitable for the Commendatore in “Don Giovanni.” (A video clip available online hints that he is already hair-raising in that role.) He reaches down to low C, yet sings with plaintive beauty two octaves higher. His performance as the noble, doomed Seneca, in “Poppea,” was the vocal pinnacle of the cycle. Buratto clearly has a major career before him, one that may soon take him to the Met. His energetic banging of a hand drum during the “Orfeo” prelude suggested that he could find side work as a percussionist”(Alex Ross, The New Yorker)
