Ramón Vargas truly merits this tribute, as IMHO he is the epitome of an opera professional: a musician who is able to convey the emotions of his characters through his brilliant technical skill and, above all, his evident love of singing. Moreover, he is always eager to tackle new roles that are right for him (e.g., Lensky and Giasone) and even willing to step in and take over roles for indisposed colleagues. You can't ask for much more, other than not to retire before we all see him in person!

The greatest tenor of the last two decades. Thanks for sharing this tribute.

Creo que es una magnífica recopilación de Ramón, gracias por compartirla, es hermoso escucharlo lo he disfrutado mucho.

Es indiscutible su maestría y me encantó verlo en sus inicios.

Que Dios le conserve su arte

With a very strong 2010 made memorable by RV's remarkable performances at age 50 -superb Des Grieux,Werther,Berlioz' Faust; heroic Giasone in Mayr's Medea; solid Verdi in Don Carlo(s), Attila, Luisa Miller, Rigoletto &Ballo, and global concerts as well - RV seems poised for another decade of continued excellence and dominance. His fiery & gripping G Adorno to start 2011 promises more dramatic Verdi works & verismo balanced by some French & belcanto roles as well.A fine tribute indeed, TY.

Great Video, Ramon Vargas has always been one of my favorite tenors...I recently heard a recording his Werther in San Fran and he sounded glorious. Thanks for the post!

@Dymension All this is to say that I respect and even like your opinion about Maestro Vargas' performance. He's quite good and I had the pleasure of seeing his Met debut in the 90s. I simply think that tenors like Juan Diego Florez have their place as well and deserve a little more respect. You can "not like" his voice. We are all allowed to like and dislike. Just don't disrespect. Tha's all. I hope you don't take offense as many in this forum do and we can simply agree to disagree.

@Dymension It wasn't until Charles Duprez took the high C "from the chest, the so-called Ut de poitrine, and after he had demonstrated his prowess to Rossini, the composer's first act was to look anxiously at the delicate Venetian glass in the room and remark: 'Nothing broken, that's wonderful!'." When asked about the full chested sound, Rossini replied "Very sincerely, what pleases me most about your C is that it is over and that I am no longer in danger of hearing it!".

@XPRT10R By using the term "fach", you are referring to the German classification of roles. To use that as the standard I think is very limiting. In that system, Almaviva, Pinkerton Alfredo, Tonio are all in the same fach, as well as Violetta, Siegliende, and Mimi. I hardly think that is appropriate. When one considers the size of European houses then it could make sense. Furthermore, when Rossini wrote his pieces composers had a different point of reference. It was before Verdi, and Wagne
