Lukasz BorowiczAbout
For his first solo recital he employs his mellifluous and burnished voice to great effect in Polish, Russian and Czech arias which are very close to his heart. A collection of operatic gems, familiar and rare, including the electric final scene from Szymanowski’s ‘King Roger’.
“Mariusz is the best in the world in these roles: an enormous talent and a complete performer...He’s dedicated and serious. Offstage he seems casual and hip—which he is—but he’s intensely professional, eager to work with conductors and directors. It shows in everything he gives on stage: never less than 100 per cent. No one today comes close to what Mariusz can do as Giovanni. He’s completely honest to the text and music, can suggest both sensuality and a mean streak. He gets the dramma giocoso part absolutely.” - Speight Jenkins, Seattle Opera
“Onegin’s ‘Garden Aria’ graces his new Slavic Arias CD for harmonia mundi, a collection showcasing Kwiecien’s tonal beauty plus his finely nourished capability for legato singing.” - Opera, Dec 2011
