Venezia : opera arias of the Serenissima

"Cencic negotiates the vocal acrobatics of this repertoire effortlessy - his voice light and agile, his technique sure. But he is no mere showman, and responds to dramatic situations with singing that is by turns tender and seductive, fiery and furious, shaping and articulating melodic lines with a real sense of their poetry ... Minasi directs some vibrant playing from Italian ensemble Il Pomo d'Oro, which really sing in the open, resonant acoustic".

"Seine Melismen und Verzierungen perlen scheinbar mühelos und vor allem ohne die sonst häufig son unangenehmen Brüche bei agenwechsel".
