About This Performance

Following Matthew Polenzani and Julius Drake’s last PCMS recital, the Philadelphia Inquirer praised the American tenor’s “remarkable voice” and the duo’s uniquely cohesive partnership. “Drake and Polenzani drew on the same palette of colors and echoed each other’s phrasings, functioning as a single instrument. For all their individual strengths—Polenzani’s tenor of sheen and power, Drake’s expressivity—the message of greater value was in the one-ness.”
