I've gotta agree. Finally there is a tenor who sings this rep for those of us who like a warm tone without nasality.

[cantorandopera]

i totally agree and one cannot help but compare him with today's superstartenor, Florez - and to me, in many ways I prefer Brownlee exactly because he is not nasal at all. Rowna

Gorgeous singing by all involved, with Brownlee leading the way.

@viv3147 The truth is, I saw him in Armida at the met at was sitting just past the orchestra seats. Armida has 6 Tenors and it seemed to me like 4 of them were cast specifically because they werent nearly on the level of Brownlee, but all had bigger voices. The one thing I didn't really like was that his high notes are so effortless that after you hear him sing 20 high bs and 10 high cs and then go above it, the high notes stop being so impressive and get boring, but thats Rossini, not Brownle

I love him, but hes not easy to hear from mid-far in a big house

Anyone who criticises this because they like another singer is stupid for doing so! Yes, there is another great singer out there who can also sing this rep. Mr Brownlee is also brilliant...

Why are so many opera 'lovers' so full of hate???

This is beautiful singing...

Siento que Brownlee canta natural copn un fiatto envidiable y una coloratura bellisima, a mi juicio, No lo comparo con J.D. Florez hay diferencias marcadas, pero, me parece que Brownlee lleva las de ganar, por lo menos aqui.-

[StuEppy]

Yes indeed. I love the warm tone. It is a much plusher sound than Florez, yet, he still has thrilling high notes! Bravo Lawrence!!!!

[sammyscroll]

My God, the negativity from some of you people is sickening...sounds more like hate comments. A great voice....he will be one of the greats in the near future....

[flaze3]

Yeah, i want to find that teacher!

[flaze3]

too right!

Too bad the audience at the La Scala were pleased with him.
