Lamento di Federico
Dein ist mein ganzes Herz
Winterstürme
Ah, la paterna mano!
My great inspirator
His voice triggered me over and over again. So I decided
to study opera: I wanted to sing like him! Of course, this maestro can't be equalled, so I developped my own instrument. My voice turned out to be more dramatic
than lyrical.
Puccini
Giacomo Puccini's breathtaking compositions keep on echoing in my mind. Can't get enough of it. L'italiano: Que Bella Lingua!
Bizet
George Bizet inspired thousands of people at his time by mixing spanish exotism into his composition of Carmen. French operatic pieces captivate my heart. French is, like italian and german, a wonderful langue
to sing in.
Wagner
Richard Wagner, the excentric German composer, triggered my interest for his dazzling grotesque music in e.g. Die Walküre and Lohengrin.
Operatic music gives you lots of energy!
