Hi, That would be nice, mayb you'll discover that you've got a voice and sing like your uncle Oreste, Great man, he won't be forgotten..R.I.P. Oreste...

[viccharm]

He would've gone to further places if it was'nt that, he retired at a young age of 38 in 1960 and never worked since then...

I am so proud with all Maltese that made a name worldwide. Obviously Oreste Kirkop is one of them.

Its Great to see a Motion picture Maltese Star that made from such a small island..

Thanks for your comments, I've been told that he sounds much better on his later recordings...

Oreste Kirkop was an average tenor at best, very lightweight

ahhh my great uncle oreste and his brother (my grandpapa') showed me how to play the piano and sing when I was 3 and now I wish I could continue there generations... that would be sooo cool :) R.I.P uncle Oreste!

Weak voice!

it is very unfortunate and difficult not to compare lanza and kirkop. they were around approximately at the same time and were tenors. although lanza is the best of them all until now, i must say kirkop comes second and way ahead of the likes of pavarotti, domingo etc. for whatever it is worth.

I know this dude's nephew, Peter Cutajar.

@maltazep Why are you proud, you obviously had no hand in making the film...
