7/7 Rolando Villazón - What Makes a Great Tenor?
BBC Four
2.06.2010
The great tenor Rolando Villazon takes us inside the world of the sexiest and most risky of all operatic voices. It's a journey which includes some of the great names of the past, such as Caruso and Lanza, and some of the brightest stars performing today, like Domingo, Alagna and Florez. We hear how they tackle their most famous roles and what the risks and rewards are.

Rolando has huge charisma

@lyonellelion that's because Bocelli is a very mediocre singer.

[David45NV1]

Björling, Caruso, Del Monaco, Di Stefano, Kraus, Fleta, Pertile, Aragall etc missing! because BBC has no commercial links to them. This documentary is obviously only intended to be advertising for BBC interests and not to objectively inform. That is why tenors like Calleja and Trost appear. Art is placed behind commercial interests. That is Opera reality today. What a pity!

@maferreira1984 jejejeje

No mention of Björling...?

[LMaster1]

Interesting that they didn't mention Bjorling whatsoever. Certainly one of the greats.
