Impacte. La Schubertíada té un gran historial presentant joves talents. En aquest sentit, els darrers anys han estat de molt bona collita, i podem anticipar que el debut d’Erika Baikoff serà un dels més impactants. D’aparença fràgil, aquesta soprano nord-americana d’origen rus sorprèn per un temperament artístic rotund, els seus recitals són d’una intensitat i apassionament poc freqüents. Una vetllada de lied diferent que mostrarà nous camins en el concert inaugural a Vilabertran.
