Student tenor sings
By Joe Marcheso | March 7, 1994Judd Serotta '94 , tenor, gave a strong senior vocal recital with Bill Guerin '96 yesterday in Faulkner Auditorium. The program ranged from Handel and Beethoven to English folk songs, arranged by the country's pre-emminent 20th century composers. In "Ammarili, mia bella", Serotta and Guerin revised the heavily romanticised rendition available to them with something more appropriate for the 20th century. Serotta sang the pieces with immaculate diction although he could have rolled his 'R's more effectively, especially when singing Italian. While his interpretation at times contradicted the style, Serotta was very relaxed and exhibited a high degree of musicality. Serotta's nerves caused him to begin a bit tentatively in the Handel and consequently he did not fully capture the interpretive flavor of the piece.
