Chazan Mizrachi is amazing. The most gifted chazzan of his time. Also the most wonderful human being ever! Great sense of humor; love of children; and devoted spouse and adoring father.
Wow: Just like the descriptions I've read. The sweet half voice head tones are fabulous and you can hear every note distinctly in the runs. A great performance to say the least.
Alberto Mizrahi is the most celebrated cantor today. Performed at every major event all over the world. I saw him on PBS as well and this is the reason why he is. His power and interpretation of the prayer is fantastic.
I think he sings well enough for the range of his voice when you consider he is not wearing his tallit or his cantor hat! He is just performing for people. In my humble opinion, when a cantor/Chazzan puts on his tallit and his hat, he is representing all of us before G*d and he has to make sure our prayers get to H*m! SO it is going to sound different then.
Agreed, this is lousy compared to how he performs much later in his career. His performances are now in the top 5 league, the standing ovations are fitting when he belts out in the last televised concert I saw.

That depends on what you are listening for.

Wow, I know Mizrahi really well- and he looks so young in this picture! He sings rather well, for the most part.
