\u2028 „As Aci, soprano Kateryna Kasper brought a clear, resilient strength to a role that is often performed with simple innocence. She focused deeply on the character\u2019s vulnerability, navigating Handel\u2019s difficult high tessitura with great precision. In \u201cDell\u2019aquila l\u2019artigli,\u201d her voice became a source of bright, radiant light, supported by a continuo combination of cello, harp, and organ that played a gentle, wave-like swing in triple meter. In \u201cQui l\u2019augel da pianta in pianta,\u201d Kasper\u2019s singing took on a warm, golden quality while the violin and oboe imitated bird song, supported by rich harp textures. In those pastoral movements, her phrasing felt wonderfully expansive, capturing an image of flowering landscape before the inevitable intrusion of danger. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Her rendering of the heart-rending death scene, \u201cVerso gi\u00e0 l\u2019alma col sangue,\u201d was the emotional axis of the night. Accompanied by a minimum, skeletal instrumental texture, Kasper\u2019s sustained tones hung suspended over the Kammerorchester Basel\u2019s muted strings, her voice taking on a physical trembling by the Da Capo repeat. Wandering on the stage, she transformed Aci\u2019s physical dissolution into a supreme moment of tragic transcendence.“<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
