Buszewski, with his ringing, clear tenor, made a dashing, handsome Chevalier de la Force.

New York Classical Review

The big number is Fadinard’s ‘Io voglio quel cappello’, sung at the work’s main-stage La Scala debut by a young Juan Diego Flórez in 1998 and delivered here with no lack of seductive Italianate legato – and a ringing top note – by Piotr Buszewski.

Gramophone

Piotr Buszewski sang Cassio with fluidity and panache, with a guileless nobility of tone that triangulated well with Thomas and Maltman.
