this man's singing talent is right up there with ANY opera virtuoso who has ever lived! in fact, i am more impressed by him, because the smallest interval a traditional opera singer has to deal with is a minor 2nd(half-step), and those can actually be quite difficult for an untrained singer! but tilahun eats half-steps for breakfast!! it's absolutely amazing how precisely he controls his voice to deliver a clear, sharp, yet haunting semi-tonal melody...thanks, tilahun, for all the wonderful 2nz.
