“The concert consisted mostly of works by German composers such as Wagner, Strauss and Brahms, and finally our Verdi from Busetto (with an aria from Don Carlos) and brought the Ascoli debut of an accomplished soprano. Marion Seidel, young, beautiful, elegant, and above all with a voice of sweet and passionate timbre, balanced in tone, which conquered the hearts of those present.”
