La Bohème ReviewAllMusic
«Sergio Alapont kept a tight grip on the orchestra and accompanied the singers beautifully. His excellent balance of sound between the singers and the orchestra was impressive.»
Robert BeattieSeen And Heard International
“Une vraie lumière mozartienne circule et la petite harmonie séduit, sous la direction détaillée et énergique de Sergio Alapont.”
Laurent BarthelConcertoNet.com
«It’s Sergio Alapont in the pit who really makes the difference, subtly stretching Puccini’s tempos for maximum dramatic effect, finding orchestral details in a familiar score that you had forgotten, or never properly heard, and above all letting his singers lead.»
Michael BeekBBC Music Magazine
«Sergio Alapont enters deep into the score, above all trying to emphasise its modernity. In Puccini, the narrative tension is constant, the pace is quick, without compromising a generally wit and sensitive singing phrasing.»
Fabio LarovereCorriere della Sera
«Exquisitely played by the orchestra under Sergio Alapont.”
Anna PicardThe Times
«The Spaniard has a natural understanding of this repertoire, with the deft technique needed for those passages of breakneck speed and an instinct for the music’s inherent delicacy. Alapont draws playing of brilliant lightness and virtuosity.»
John AllisonThe Telegraph
“The direction of Maestro Sergio Alapont was torrential, without losing the dreamy inspiration necessary for the surrender of some moments: it seemed amazing to us.”
William G. Costabile CiscoGB Opera
“Conducting with rigour and delicacy, Sergio Alapont marshals the orchestra with aplomb, giving an exquisite performance.»
