Riccardo Chailly is a truly genius. What a deliciously and masterly conducted. Neill has the "fiamma" of a big tenor , with the perfect weight for Arnold and very suitable for this role

Bravo ! Bravo ! No small feat.

@Cantormatis I understand your point. Tauber had a great voice, but he did not have the high notes for this aria. With my 30+ years of training with Horne's first teacher and the inheritor of his studio, I think that it is interesting how Mr. Neill handles the high notes.  Fans and experts that enjoy Corelli and Pavorotti should listen to Mr. Neill.

@orovalleydude This particular performance of Mr. Neill does indeed have its merits. However, I would not compare him to any of the singers you mentioned, who sounded nothing like each other and had very different levels of technical ability. Tauber was a superb singer, but would not nor could have sung this; DiStefano had a great instrument but many faults in his technique; Bjoerling was perhaps the only singer who in his prime could have done this nearly flawlessly in the original French.

@Cantormatis I think you missed the mark - he is a superb singer, carrying on the traditions and skill of Schmidt, Tauber, Bjorling, DiStefano, Konya, and Wunderlich. All the fans of Corelli and Pavorotti should pay attention to the ring in his top notes.

[Cantormatis]

Neill does have an exvellent instrument. He does have a tendency to sing a little too much in the throat, sometimes, I would agree, but his voice is in general very fine.
