Graun's voice is characterised as a "high tenor" with "great lightness" and, according to a contemporary, he sang the slow pieces in particular "very gently and touchingly".
Aco Bićević probably corresponds exactly to this voice type: as a "hautecontre" (a tenor with a very high, light voice), his vocal range lies between tenor and the falsetto countertenor. After studying singing and the harpsichord at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Aco Bićević made his debut at La Scala in Milan, where he performed under the directon of Ingo Metzmacher. He also partcipated in the Young Singers Project programme at the renowned Salzburger Festspiele. Graun composed the three secular cantatas presented on this recording as a world premiere for himself and his voice during his time in Wolfenbüttel. They are highly virtuosic!
Bićević is accompanied by the Baroque Orchestra of the Thüringen Philharmonie Gotha-Eisenach under the direction of Michael Hofstetter, an expert in the discovery of young voices.
