About

Each year the timbre of the countertenor Max Emmanuel Cencic gains in depth, presence and substance. His technique is, as ever, remarkable and it enables him to take on the apparently crazy challenge of singing heroic arias by Rossini … The tenor brings a personal touch, a specific texture which underlines the impression of wounded dignity, extreme sensitivity, magnificently wrapped in silky-soft velvet … Beyond the precision of his vocalism, he shows the superior fibre and stature needed for these dramatic roles, revealing a new maturity and balance, a shimmering timbre and exceptional musical instincts … The ardent defender of a different vocal aesthetic, this male mezzo soprano could hold some surprises for us in the years to come.

This was the response of Classique News to Max Emmanuel Cencic’s first recital for Virgin Classics, released in 2007 and since awarded the Orphée d'Or by the Académie du Disque Lyrique.

After that foray into the early Romantic era - heroic arias written for female mezzo sopranos to perform in male disguise – Cencic returns to core countertenor repertoire with this programme of Handel.
