[SENAFOREVER]

I do admire him, but his voice is way too light to sing big Verdi roles.

[Shipskeel]

Umm.. T.H. does not have the meat for this.

This just sounds completely wrong; like a tenor covering for an indisposed baritone.

Go home Mr.Hampson..... such a sadness

[richbari]

Horrible! Yuck! Come on. He does some great stuff but this is ridiculous. Yelling al over the place trying to sound like a Verdi Baritone doesn't cut it.

[countceprano]

Pathetic. A voice for Malatesta at the heaviest.

[youchowchow]

Espantoso. Hace unos años me recomendaron escucharlo. Me regalaron un cd con grabaciones de él. Sinceramente es horroroso lo que canta. Pensar que nosotros (los argentinos) tenemos interpretaciones superlativas como la del maestro Ricardo Yost y que no se valoran en el mundo. Hay que escuchar esta aria por Corenell MacNeil, Tito Gobbi, Tita Ruffo, Ettore Bastianini. Hoy el marketing hace que este sujeto cante...

[surgeonsinger]

Voz totalmente inadequada para Verdi.

[ronnyneedles]

Bad idea Tommy.

I love his singing, but not in this aria....he should stay away from Wagner!

[divobari2]

sure it's great singing, IF you consider screaming every note past E flat singing,.... Verdi can be sung LYRICALLY!!!... and like a baritone!!
