Christian Baldini Requiem, Teatro Colon June 2014 -

Translated reviews

La Nacion

Director Christian Baldini was particularly scrupulous, neat, clever and thorough, and that allowed him to convey the enjoyment of a full score of ideas that worked hand in glove with the action. And he achieved a performance of very high quality with outstanding transparency of sound, with brass and percussion in high relief.

El Dia

A strong and difficult work to execute, with a good sense of orchestration, which was successfully interpreted by the musicians under the baton of Christian Baldini.
