EDITOR’S NOTES
About Pyrotechnics Vivica Genaux says “In Baroque music, what I particularly appreciate is the interaction between the voice and the orchestra. The orchestra does not just accompany, but emphasizes what you say, and so you have to work closely with the instrumentalists. I love working with Europa Galante and Fabio, violinist as well as conductor, understands that a singer’s breath is not infinite, just like a violinist is limited by the length of his bow “
