Jose Carreras "Pure Passion"
(Music is based on Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 6 )
This is the story of a starry night
The faded glory of a new delight
One breathless meeting
Two lips repeating
Three precious words that were sweet but fleeting...
When stars are bright my heart keeps wondering why
Our first "goodnight" became our last goodbye
I pray that someday
Love will in some way
Bring back the story of a starry night...
When I was young I had a recording of an American singer, Nelson Eddy, singing this. He was a high baritone, sang in several musical movies with Jeanette MacDonald but ended up being an entertainer just as Jose Carreras is doing now rather than singing opera. Nelson Eddy died on stage while singing, or soon after. The arrangement that JC is singing here is great but very different to the NE one so I don't think they can be compared. As for Jose Carreras I have loved his voice from 1st hearing.
