REVIEWS

“Colombara is another to reveal a lovely legato”
Colin Clarke, Music Web

“Carlo Colombara, en Alvise, a du creux et de la noblesse”
Vincent Deloge, ResMusica

“Both the Barnaba of Alberto Mastromarino and the Alvise of Carlo Colombara are sung with firm expressive tone. Carlo Colombara’s Alvise is strongly sung and acted. He is physically imposing and sings with good diction and a wide range of expression in Si, morir ella (D 2 Ch.1). He is a very definite plus among today’s Italian basso cantante. His vocal and acting abilities are very evident and a great strength in this production”.
Robert J Farr, Music Web

“Bass Carlo Colombara sings Alvise with the requisite snarl and notable tonal center”.
Robert Levine, Classic Today
