“The documentary Aldo Baldin – A Life for Music (1h54min), by Yves Goulart, which was shown at several festivals in 2024, is expected to hit the cinema circuit in the first half of this year. The film shows the tenor’s trajectory in detail.”
“There are many interviewees in Brazil and abroad, including conductors, lyrical singers and people who knew Baldin. Highlights include his widow, Irene Flesch Baldin, who is the musical director of the film, and emotional testimonies from his daughters Sofia and Serena.”
“Maestro Isaac Karabtchevsky highlights his Mozartian singing. His recital narration as the Evangelist of Bach’s Passion According to St. John is considered one of the best in the world.”
“The documentary also reveals the hardships of an artist in classical music. Aldo Baldin – A Life for Music shows how lyrical singing is a universe apart in Brazil. The film introduces us to a truly Brazilian artist.”
