Intendant Roland Geyer ist in der Kammeroper, der jungen Dependance des
Theaters an der Wien Beeindruckendes gelungen: Beim Innsbrucker Cesti
Wettbewerb und als Natasha bei Eötvös' "Tri Sestri" (Staatsoper
Wien) hatte er er den
Amerikaner ERIC
JURENAS gehört.
Nun singt Jurenas in der Oreste-Premiere die
Titelpartie.
Jurenas ist
ein idealer Oreste!
Ein
Countertenor mit strahlendem Timbre, bewundernswerter Höhensicherheit, mit
Gespür für fein gezeichnete Emotionen.
Souverän lässt er Händels wahnwitzige
Koloraturen perlen, delikat klingen die
Ausdrucksschattierungen.
Eindrucksvoll spielt er den Mörder .... eine feine
Psychostudie, in der auch seine Angst vor den Furien stets mitschwingt…"

"…. Artistic Director Roland Geyer has impressively succeeded in the
chamber opera, the young branch of the Theater an der Wien: At Innsbruck's
Cesti Competition and as Natasha in Eötvös "Tri Sestri" ( State
Opera Vienna), he had heard
the American ERIC JURENAS, who sings the title part of Oreste.
And - Jurenas is the ideal Oreste!
A
countertenor with radiant timbre, admirable high-altitude security, with a
flair to delicate emotions. Sovereign he sparkles Händel's insane
coloratura, the shades of emotions sound delicate. Impressively, he
plays the murderer…. a subtle psycho-study in which his fear of the Furies, always resonates…"
"...
Der Amerikanische Countertenor ERIC
JURENAS / Oreste führt seine Stimme perfekt:
ob Volumen, Koloraturen auf der einen Seite, ebenmässiges Legato auf der anderen, dynamische Schattierungen, Rhythmus,
nie würde er in vokale Fallen
tappen, sein Klang ist voll, und die Register ausgeglichen;
es ist ein wahres
Vergnügen, ihm zuzuhören..."

In dem Duett "Ah mia cara, se tu resti" aus der Oper

they also can sing marvelous softly and tender..."
"... Oreste, Countertenor ERIC JURENAS delivered an impressive
performance of the title role,
with a bit of a hard-edged tone that hinted at
his heartlessness.
<Dopo
l'orrore> was a highlight, as was the more lyrical and contrasting duet
with Ermione..."
/
"...Countertenor ERIC JURENAS in der Titelrolle des Oreste lieferte eine beeindruckende Leistung.
Seine
etwas rauere Tongebung in der Arie
<Dopo l'orrore" passte perfekt zu der herzlosen Rolle,
und machte
die Arie zum Highlight der Vorstellung;
so wie auch das Duett mit Ermione, wo
Jurenas seine
lyrische und weiche Seite zeigen konnte…"

Jurenas has a bright, light voice, and he easily negotiated the wide tessiture of the solo part..." "... Countertenor ERIC JURENAS sang beautifully, with focused tone, even in his lower range..."
"... one unexpected touch was the selection of a counter-tenor soloist for the part that is usually taken by a mezzo or alto.
Up- and coming countertenor ERIC JURENAS took on this task with surprising success. After a bit of adjustment, one became quickly accustomed to the sound of the high male voice in this pat, thanks to Jurenas's exceptionally clear tone and vocal flexibility, especially in the highest reaches of this range..." ( Baldwin Wallace Bach Festival - April 2015 ) "... The remarkable countertenor ERIC JURENAS, |

( American Bach Soloists - Dec 2014 )
"...Countertenor ERIC JURENAS sang 2 cantatas by Vivaldi, both well suited for his vocal range...
it is impressive to see and hear someone so young with such talent.
The challenging melismas that Vivaldi wrote to emphasize words in the text - for example the 'a' at the end of >Ondo urtando vá>, or the last syllable in >mi torno á respirar - wee accurately sung with warmth and solid intonation..."
( La Stravaganza: Music of the Italian Baroque - Juilliard - Nov 2014 )
"... A long, long day came to an end when American Countertenor ERIC JURENAS after a lovely >Slent Noon> by Vaughn Williams, performed >Quale Coniugium!>, which was downright thrilling.
He played extensively with different intonation and color,
let the vowels do their job, and made his performance on of the most memorable.
His tone was extremely pleasant which made his performance very worthwhile..."
"...The execution by Countertenor ERIC JURENAS, of the commissioned piece >Quale Conigium> by Willem Jeths, made i quite clear that his vocal reading was superior.
That bought the audience to offer big applause for the countertenor and his companion...
Willem Jeths wrote the song based on the soprano part, but he can be proud of his composing talent through the vocal expression of Eric Jurenas..."

( University of Cincinnati - concert - Mach 2014 )

It is as if one can see through it,
and, in addition, his diction is remarkable..."
"... For example, in the St. Matthew Passion, as he did in the B minor Mess,
Bach writes an entrance for the countertenor on a note that is of very long duration.
On this note the countertenor must gradually increase from a pianissimo dynamic level to a solid forte.
He was absolutely stunning in his long crescendo,
with an immense long and controlled breath..."
( Colorado Bach Ensemble - June 2013 )

( American Bach Soloists - March 2013 )
"... But countertenor ERIC JURENAS was a startling revelation..."
"... A countertenor is a male with a well-developed head voice who sings in the alto range.
It's difficult thing to do, and there are many pretenders.
JURENAS however, is the real deal, with a wide range that he showed off on the aria <Thou at gone up on high>, and fluid flexibility evident in the aria <O though that tellest good tidings to Zion..."
"... A couple of time on low notes his mechanism flipped to far into his natural baritone range, but his tone and technique with <He was despised and rejected> made it clear that ERIC JURENAS, though young, is a singer of great promise in a field with few practitioners..."
