“…compelling, even gripping performer. Guarrera’s fiery musical temperament and virtuosic technique proved perfectly suited to concerto playing. In fact, despite his reserved demeanor, Guarrera was the only performer of the evening with a stage presence that could be felt by the audience. Guarrera balanced drama and a refined sensitivity to melody to lend a genuinely operatic, bel canto quality to the work.” Orph\u00e9e Russell, La Scena Musicale <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5137,"template":"","class_list":["post-5497","cmim-competitors","type-cmim-competitors","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"cmim_competitors_photo_credits":"","cmim_competitors_date_of_birth":"1991-08-27","cmim_competitors_country":"Italy","cmim_competitors_range":"Piano 2017"},"featured_media_src_url":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/giuseppe-guarrera.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/concoursmontreal.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cmim-competitors\/5497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/concoursmontreal.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cmim-competitors"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/concoursmontreal.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cmim-competitors"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/concoursmontreal.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cmim-competitors\/5497\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26280,"href":"https:\/\/concoursmontreal.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cmim-competitors\/5497\/revisions\/26280"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/concoursmontreal.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/concoursmontreal.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
