The American countertenor Lawrence Zazzo sings a program about crying, in which laughter, as the cover picture shows, is not missing. Zazzo is not only outstanding as a performer, because he is always very close to the text and taps into all possible emotional expressions. Irony and cynicism also come to light in an interpretation that is often caricatured. There is no lack of tenderness, and so Zazzo always succeeds in making the stories told in the program touching.
You can’t sing more theatrically than that! Now, one would not do justice to Zazzo’s art if one did not also talk about his technique. Because it is outstanding. He has perfect control of his voice and is thus able to apply all the nuances that his interpretation requires. Tercia Realidad provides stylish playing to accompany the singing.
