Beethoven&#8217;s &#8222;Six Songs after Poetry by Gellert, Op. 48&#8220; are filled with praises and pleas to God. Pape&#8217;s singing throughout was contained, firm and measured . . . The third piece of the set &#8222;Vom Tode (On Death)&#8220; was arguably one of the defining moments of the recital. Pape&#8217;s voice hushed throughout and filled with mystery, only rising to a fearful forte on the phrase &#8222;Und was ist&#8217;s, das ich vielleicht?&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Nothing matched the dramatic power of the Mussorsky. The opening Lullaby was haunting in its execution. There was a shortness and expressive trepidation throughout the phrasing of the piece, making this a rather foreboding lullaby . . . It was a triumphant night for this terrific pair of artists. As with other such recitals, Pape continued to make an argument for more of these performances at the Met in coming seasons. And by more, it doesn&#8217;t mean just one but multiple throughout the year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211;\u00a0David Salazar,\u00a0Latin Post<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8222;One of the most powerful voices on the operatic stage . . . he showed that even without the dramatic trappings of the theater, he is a formidable artistic force . . .
