Great underrated tenor of the past!

[giloubreizh]

Voilà le vrai Orphée de Gluck 1774 - pas une femme, style version Hector! Honte! - Léopold = 100% Gluck.

Leopold Simoneau was the very first opera singer I ever got to hear "in person", back in 1962. He gave a solo recital in my high school auditorium, and I was simply stunned at the level of his artistry -- such finnesse. I was about 15 years old, and have been an abiding fan of his ever since. He put the "bel" in bel canto!

It's sad to read, today, of the passing of his wife, Pierrette Alarie. No doubt they are reunited, making beautiful music together once again.

his CD of this role is 50 years old, still in print, and still one of the best. a surpassing voice and great portrayal.

[StephaneMartineau]

Un voix de ténor léger exceptionnel....un legato hors du commun...

@muschnik1961 Yes I agree.

One of my favorite tenors singing his signature aria. I far prefer this version to the mezzo version in Italian. Just beautiful
