Mimì/La Bohème

In the first Tête à Tête, Jonas Kaufmann shows what he can do in terms of acting and vocal skill. Rachel Willis-Sørensen immediately counters this as Mimi with the same high level of singing. It ends in the duet of flaming love Tu sol comandi, amore! - Only love should command us. Very nicely sung and acted!

Klassik Begeistert

“Im ersten Tête à Tête zeigt Jonas Kaufmann was er spielerisch und gesanglich kann, was er draufhat. Umgehend kontert Rachel Willis-Sørensen als Mimi das sängerisch auf demselben hohen Niveau. Es mündet im Duett der entbrennenden Liebe Tu sol comandi, amore! – Nur die Liebe soll uns befehlen. Sehr schön gesungen und gespielt!”
