@Alieaz -One of the most underrated tenors of the 20th.century.He deservrved far better recognition.

He sang Radamès 17 times at the Metropolitan Opera, 1961-1972, opposite such Aïdas as Galina Vishnevskaya, Gabriella Tucci, Leontyne Price (many times) and Martina Arroyo. He cut a fine figure as the Egyptian general, his mixture of lyricism and power were very effective.
He had one of the most beautiful timbres of that era. Thank you for this posting.

Thrilling!

What a totally different approach to the music he has than when he sings as a heldentenor. In his recordings of Lohengrin and Meistersinger he doesn't have an ease of singing the top notes and sounds like many heldentenors do, slightly strained and yet here in Aida he nails the high C spot on and there is no strain that I can hear. He just doesn't do a diminuendo on the note as Corelli and others did, but still a top class performance.

Oh, I had the worst crush on him in my early teens, when he sang with the SF Opera - Lohengrin, Radames, Rodolfo. That tear in his voice can still make my knees weak. What a voice. Thank you for uploading - you always have the most wonderful music!

A great middle weight singer who solves all the problems in this aria. He takes no chances at the end and nails it. It would be interesting to hear him sing the same aria with slightly less echo. The echo makes his voice sound bigger than it probably was. He sings with passion like a high lyric tenor with enough body. I like the way he balances and spins the tone. Very thrilling singing. He does not puff off air at the end of phrases. Quite like Gigli. Bravissimo!

MAGNIFIQUE !!!
Few tenors can match his capacity for combining lyricism and dramatic singing. To my mind, he is the heavy voiced equivalent of Jussi Bjoerling, with exemplary technique and a silvery spin on the voice. Its a shame he didn't get the recognition that he deserved - but when one considers who was around during his career I guess there is only so much room in the PR machine for the word "great". RIP
