[Harp-L] Teatro Colon debut review

[bon@xxxxxxxxxx]

Got a nice review for my Teatro Colon debut in a packed 3000 seat hall 
with no amplification!  Of course the harmonica is just a toy; kind of 
like a Ferrari is just a toy.

Harmonically yours,

Robert Bonfiglio


AN ATYPICAL AND VIRUOSO SOLOIST IN TEATRO COLON
For a very pleasing composition for Harmonica and Orchestra by Heitor 
Villa-Lobos, Robert Bonfiglio, a North American soloist from an Italian 
family, was an exceptional virtuoso.
NEW SOUND
In the curiosity and enjoyment of hearing the sound a harmonica for the 
first time in Teatro Colon, the appreciation of the attractiveness was 
the sum of the unquestionable ability of the Brazilian composer to 
achieve a balance between the fine sound of the harmonica and the massive 
orchestra and also a demonstration of the acoustics of the Hall which 
were put to a relentless test.

The soloist did wonders with a normal size harmonica.  In the clarity of 
his sounds, to his secure intonation, with extraordinary control he 
exhibited every possible human emotion, all facilitated by his 
breath?..utmost was Bonfiglio?s excellent stage presence, friendly and 
passionate. The attentive public was so receptive and warm that a second 
and third harmonica encore of contagious joy was added.
