  • Can`t imagine a human voice more beautiful and moving than that of young Carreras

  • @Rospaint AMEN to those words!

  • Pundits always lecture young tenors like Di Stefano or Carreras not to push lest they damage their gift. Yet you will notice, young tenors continue to push. Why? Because that's how you grow your voice. Margison and Bonisolli started with small voices but kept pushing until they had very big voices indeed. All of these tenors added power and brilliance as they lost some vocal sweetness. Alas some tenors do lose their voices while trying to expand - but not Carreras. He just got sick.

  • Agree with you. Your last sentence describes it better than your first one: One thing is to look for "expansion" of the voice, but another thing is to PUSH the voice, which distorts it and shatters it's flexibility. Nowadays everybody is pushing and loosing their voices in a couple years, very sad scenario...
