His Otello excerpts 12 years later are to me the best I have ever heard on stage or on record. And I have heard and have seen great Otello tenors. I wish he had seriously recorded a full staging of it or better made a movie version of it in his later years.
That is stupendous singing for a 24 year old and great singing for any better than average experienced tenor. Amazing!
If Hollywood would not have grabbed him like they did - if they had really allowed to fully cultivate and use his talent and gifts in his art - I think he would have been forever without rival without a doubt in anybody's mind.
nice lyric singing for radio. Most likely would never have been a good role for him on stage.
