Although he is still young, his maturity is amazing. Everything is already there: the breath, the power, the shape, the homogeneity of the register, the control of the dynamic force and the musicality. Is that all ? Sure not. You have to add that our slim countertenor, behind his attitude of a tactful young man, knows very well how to impersonate a character by bringing it to life in a plausible and moving way.
