Sorry guys but I think he is simply wonderful.

Pick him apart with with all your knowledge and expertise. Love his voice !!!!!!!!

[Corenero]

Short career ? Last month he sung Fanciulla at the Royal Opera House with huge success. And will do Turandot next December at that important theatre.

He is just SO good. What a voice. What clarity. What authority. Among "connaiseurs" it has become fashionable to turn the thumb down on him. They're tone deaf! They should listen to rap and hip-hop! That'll suit them!

[AthenaPl]

My God, you snobs here are beyond pretentious. Jose Cura is great, he has his way in everything - singing, acting, being, He has an immense stage presense and believability in everything he does, I would take him at his worst over any of those nameless, boring, dull 'ye olde school' singing-machines of which there are hundreds. That man owns the stage he's on and means every word he sings. Jose Cura deserves every bit of success he has - deal with it.

@singingisall i think he sounds a bit tense because he is a dramatico

[magamadalao]

Maravilhosa voz.

[singingisall]

He is a little tight and tense in the neck. He should be a little loose, he can have a wonderful voice!

[Vongs100]

Does he not deserve to have a little bit of an ego, for Gods sake can you hear his voice.

A Tenor came to South Africa from Spain with a terrible ego and a very ugly voice. Little did he know, he was sent home before the first show. If you want to have an ego as a singer at least back it up

How cold your little hand is! Will you let me warm it for you?

Why bother looking? It's dark, and we won't find it.

It's our good luck, though, this night's filled with moonlight,

Up here the moonlight could rest on our shoulders.

Please wait, ...my dear young lady, and I will quickly tell you

Who stands before you, and what I do,

How I make my living. May I?

Who am I? What am I? I am a poet.

What keeps me busy? Writing! And what do I live on? Nothing!

[SebasGreco]

One of the best.

[pianoboyo]

I'm going to stick my neck out and say that I consider this recording by Cura to be one of the best Rudolfos in the canon, and I don't say that ill advisedly. I don't care if his voice will only last a decade before it's clapped out. What we have now is something of rare perfection. Something which touches the soul and is a thing of expressive beauty.

@donaldrose I personally feel that Cura has a sufficiently great number of spinto moments to prove himself well able to project the necessary lyricism over a large orchestra without straining or becoming vulgar. I agree his voice tends to favour the dramatico, or tenore roubusto repertoire, but frankly what I enjoy about his voice is the range of colours he can produce. Its not one dimensional like so many 'great' tenors.
