“Weill’s “Youkali,” performed by [Mezzo] soprano Sophia Baete and pianist Marc Serra, also stood out for its strong stylistic contrast to the rest of the program. Baete delivered the cabaret-style piece with great power and yearning, while Serra’s tango-like rhythm supported her serpentine melodic lines, creating a captivating interplay of desire and melancholy.” — New York Classical Review
