The Cherubino that debuted Gemma Coma-Alabert had all the ingredients that make this role a bonanza for any mezzo…pacardia, scenic grace, careful diction, expressiveness in the delivery of the two arias and a good balance in the concerters

Dante disc from Granados, Naxos. We must mention the emotional and expressive performance of the mezzo-soprano Gemma Coma-Alabert in the second movement, with a round timbre, well-projected delivery and convincing diction in a particle of clear Franckian and, generically, Wagnerian resonances in one of the great commercialized record hits this 2016.

Gemma Coma-Alabert embodied a complete Dorabella, both vocally and dramatically, also enhanced by the good direction of actors in this production. The voice of the mezzo-soprano from Girona is well suited to the role of Dorabella, proving it in moments like “È amore un ladroncello”.

The important thing on this occasion was to listen, centering the program and in important repertoire, to the young mezzo-soprano from Girona, Gemma Coma-Alabert. He has a very beautiful voice, with an exercise of varied possibilities in the emission, tenuous vibrato, subtle in the coloring, precise tuning, incisive and defined projection, and articulation and diction of praise in this particular world of the Baroque, with an appropriate style in the ornament. What else? A sample of the potential we have and which must always be given its place in a demanding plan. His Nisi Dominus by Vivaldi, a masterpiece, was formidable, subtle and expressive.

First of all, we must highlight the interventions of Gemma Coma-Alabert in the titular role of Juditha, with a voice of exquisite timbre and an extraordinary sense of phrasing that delights in arias such as “Veni,veni, me sequere fida” and the beautiful ” Transit aetas”.

…the mezzo-soprano Gemma Coma-Alabert sustained until the end of the show of more than an hour and a half with the phrasing and the delicate ornaments. Precise and of a fair style, different from the tradition of the later opera, here there are no explosions of force or violent feelings but there is a mastery throughout the work.
