Verdi: La Traviata
“Underpinning these three singers’; musical achievements is the conducting of David Afkham, who finds the melancholy “tinta” of the piece even in its outwardly glittering moments. From the first bar to last, he maintains dramatic tension in the excellent orchestral playing.”
“Afkham sympathetically supports the singers and shapes the ensembles with propulsive flair…Afkham shows here that he is a man to watch in opera.”
