The cloister of the Dominicans traditionally becomes a sounding board for the festival of music, and friends of the library in recent years, offer a few days before their concert with a program that must meet the search originality. Tuesday night, they invited Laurence Hunckler, soprano, and Claude Sitterlin the piano for a concert entitled "Unfinished Love".
A large audience has taken possession of the site to be carried away by air from the Italian repertoire, Puccini, Verdi, Bellini and Giordano. The physical presence of Laurence and Hunckler rich facial expressions were dressed in a voice that was able to start releasing excerpts of the finest operas. Laurence was in turn, young love, lover, mother or tearful pleading, liberated woman, intimate and sometimes jealous. She declined the love in all its varied forms in a romantic journey, sometimes ruthless, navigating between tenderness and passion, as she too knows how to be a happiness too often ephemeral. Also noteworthy is the grace and sensitivity of Claude Sitterlin, ballet of hands caressing the keys, the melee with the instrument to fit into the musical world of the singer. The relationship with the musician's instrument becomes a love story that will feed the pleasure, almost a voyeur, the music lover. Then came the finale of a beautiful poem that Andre Chenier Giordano set to music, the quintessence of words and music in a great climax. But the audience wanted more, and divas (the name of their show with Vocalise Trio), returned to an excerpt from Carmen.
