INNSBRUCK/AUSTRIA: MORGAN PEARSE, baryton from Australia, winner of the Cesti Alte Music Singing competition in Innsbruck 2016. His thank you for the prize number. “Ruhig Sein” from the Opera Octavia by Reinhard Keiser. Together with the famouse Tiroler Barockinstrumentalisten conducted by Jörn Halubek. At Tiroler Landes Konservatorium, Innsbruck. Concertmaster Jolanta Sosnowska.
The brilliant mezzo soprano Sophie Rennet, Austria won the Second prize. And also the Audience prize. Eric Jurenas, countertenor from America, won the third prize with bravo from the audience. In the second part of the finale he performed with the most wonderful expression and love Nicola Porpora´s aria “Alto Giove” from the opera Poliferno. It was extraordinary well sung, and I am very sure that this, his final number, did that he got the 3rd prize. A great job.
Lea Desandra, French/Italian mezzo soprano, the youngest participant in the finale 23 years old, won the special prize from the Musicfestspielen Potsdam – Sanssouci, which is an engagement at the Potsdam festspiele. In the final part of the finale she wonderful dramatic sung the demanding aria of Serxes: “Crude furie” from Georg Friedrich Händels Opera Serxes. In the first part of the finale she sung beautifully the famouse Henry Purcel arie “Remember me”, from Dido and Aeneas. I am sure that the Potsdam Festival audience can be looking forward to this great young mezzo.
