Michael

Balke

conductor

"The relentlessly modern, yet sweet and sensual reading of Michael Balke has downright drug character. This is like ecstasy!"

- MDR Figaro

NEW CD - released in November :

VERDI: LA TRAVIATA

with:

Marina Rebeka

Charles Castronovo

George Petean

"Michael Balke signs a Traviata that does not have a single flaw, with an extraordinary fidelity to text and music ... His exquisite care in agogics and in the flow of dialogue, caressing pauses and variety in dynamic gradations, leaves Traviata signed by the German maestro to be enjoyed without reservation."
