Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Hailed as the "Brando of opera," Uruguayan bass-baritone Erwin Schrott joins Decca with a deliciously charismatic and seductive debut album. Showcasing some of opera's most famous roles, Schrott demonstrates why audiences and critics around the world continue to cheer at every performance. Acclaimed for his portrayals in the operas of Mozart, Schrott is the first choice at the world's greatest opera houses including the Metropolitan Opera (where he will portray Don Giovanni this fall and winter), La Scala, the Royal Opera House, LA Opera, Washington National Opera and many others.

Schrott's debut album perfectly showcases his distinctive, chocolaty voice and his wonderful talents for characterization. Among the included arias are his favorite Mozart roles as well as repertoire from great 19th-century opera composers such as Verdi, Meyerbeer, Berlioz, and Gounod. Schrott has emerged as a leading opera star on the world's greatest stages and will continue to thrill many with his resonant and multi-hued voice.

- Not yet top-notch, but appears to have room for improvement.
Basso cantante is too far off a description for Schrott's singing.
If you compare him with Shen Yang, the 24-year old who walked away with the title 'Cardiff Singer of the World' last year, you would but agree that young Shen is the rightful successor to this category, exemplified in the 20th century by Cesare Siepi.
Mr. Schrott requires to put much more work in his voice, though I am in no way negative to his potential.
As yet, he sounds a bit rough, and as Sante Fe Listener aptly ... Read More

- Sound vastly different from image.
Granted, nowadays 'huge' emphases are being laid on the appearance of an operatic singer so much so that a top class singer without a good stage presence really could not stand a slim chance of success.
Mr. Schrott is blessed with good looks, but alas, in terms of artistry, still has miles to go to rank among the large batch of top baritones.
For one thing, Mr. Schrott seems to be a bass baritone, but the timbre is raw in the low register and the upper register, though slightly better, still ... Read More

- Beautiful man and voice
Having met and heard him sings, Mr. Schrott has a powerful and beautiful voice. He is very good looking and makes a great Don Giovanni. Mr. Schrott has become a well known singer in all the world Opera Houses. I have added this recording to my collection.

Rating:

- Safe, Staid, Perfunctory Performances
In a recent New York Times interview, Erwin Schrott is quoted as saying that "he was worried...that the sound of his voice -- 'my ideal sound, my inner sound, what my ear hears' was not coming through on [his debut] recording." The article goes on to disagree, stating that "the engineers have ably captured the heft, warmth and chocolate-tinged colorings of [Schrott's] voice." Personally, I agree a bit with both opinions. In this, his first recital CD, Schrott comes across as an able musician with a decent, ... Read More

Rating:

- The stage image is sexy, but Schrott's vocal acting is serious and a bit flat
Decca is unbashedly leaping into the arena with "barihunk" Erwin Schrott, one of the hottest items on the list of male opera stars who take their shirts off and flirt seductively with their roles. Baritons -- or in this case a deeper bass-baritone - have enough handicaps competing with tenors for center stage, so why not? Schrott's calling card is Don Giovanni, a role where seductiveness is highly desirable, and here he takes on Leporello's catalog aria as well. One notices right away that this is a very good ...
