A favorite Mozart performance from Harry Rose

I was so beguiled by Erika Baikoff when I saw her perform at the Sag Harbor Song Festival back in September. Such a lovely and musical voice that just flows and when she sang this, she got mid-note applause during the final sustained B.

Subsequent clips I’ve heard of Baikoff on social media have confirmed the impression she made back in Sag Harbor. This is a very promising artist and a refreshingly, uniquely intelligent one. She’s currently an ensemble member at the Bayerische Staatsoper singing smaller roles, though it’s in concert repertoire and art song where she seems to especially shine. I look forward to hearing more from her in future years.
