La deuxième partie, après la solennelle prière « O Isis und Osiris », chantée d’une voix d’airain par Nicolas Testé...
“Nicolas Testé è stato un Sarastro di vocalità corposa nella zona grave e capace di buone sfumature”
“Nicolas Testé est un Sarastro caverneux”
ResMusica
En Sarastro, Nicolas Testé -comme ses collègues- passe autant à la caméra qu’aux micros. La réalisation permet d’apprécier la noirceur de son personnage, la nourriture de son souffle… et de ses graves, résonnants.
