Operalia's First Prize winner in 2017, the young South African tenor Levy Sekgapane releases his debut album, ''Giovin Fiamma'', featuring Rossini arias, on Prima Classics. He is accompanied by the Münchner Rundfunkorchester conducted by Giacomo Sagripanti (Young Conductor winner in the 2016 International Opera Awards).
''His lean, shiny tenor offers the impressive flexibility, fearless high notes and combustible, open-hearted ardor that best serves the composer's work.''
Opera News, USA. ''Critic's Choice'' Distinction
''...first class, with the tenor's bright, slightly nasal tone running around the notes with great accuracy.''
BBC Music Magazine, UK
''Sekgapane sings with a palpable exuberance that distinguishes Giovin fiamma as a young singer s invitation for the listener to join him on his artistic journey.''
Voix des Arts, USA
''The singing is virile with forward-moving enthusiasm and he applies those little grace notes with taste and elegance.''
Music Web International, UK
''...it is the ''Giovanni David'' part of this program that seems the most revealing of Levy Sekgapane's true vocal identity, under the double profile of the graceful singer and his weightless scales.''

Press Quotes
''Levy Sekgapane is a new name to me and he is a very exciting singer. The owner of a light and high-lying tenor, he also offered some stratospheric embellishments and effortless ease in the florid writing. A name to watch certainly.''
