Gregory Kunde as Arturo " A te o cara" from I Puritani

yes by all means listen to other , artists. as i do myself but donot kid yourself he is not in there league the ones i have said. i donot dislike him he.s ok but thats all the problem is be honest no new singer is as good as the past ones, i cannot think of one who in time will be remembed as the past tenors. i hope one day we get one to match the ones that have gone...

If the internet was around in the 60s and 70s I'm sure we would could do a search and find an almost identical statement against the 3 tenors you listed...although I dont think the original popera star Lanza belongs in the same category. I can't remember ever hearing a recording of him singing bel canto.

you just might, many think jussi bjorling was the best ever. i don,t as for lanza many people dislike the route he took, but he has a superb voice. there will allways be someone better in other peoples eyes, but the 3 plus gigli. andcorreli you would find it hard to beat them, from any today. oh i missed Mcormack out he too was outstanding. i listen to many its just that todays just donot match up my opinion...

You can add a lot of tenors to that list. I think Wunderlich beats many of the ones you named before. It all depends of which arethe parameters. Beaty of voice, Presence, Style, Technique. And sure Lanza was a superb voice and he had wonderful musicality but he never got to polish that. Ah, and before mackormack I would add Lemeshev!

yes wunderlich, was a fine tenor too. but the great man himself said(caruso) Mcormack was the best. everyone has a diffrent taste, for pure raw talent on voice only not technique i give it to lanza. his voice gets to your soul, and on both voice, and technique i give it to kraus. many say bjorling was the best ever, but he is one who i never took too. not my taste i like many even pav, but kunde well he is only ok noway can he sing as good as kraus but hey thats my choice, ., ...

You are wright, that´s your choice.
Good for you!

IDoing this role he is for sure in kraus' league. May be not in others. but here he is. If we discuss if he is in the same level as kraus speaking of the hole package, there you are wright. sure Kraus was better and within the bests we had. But in puritani i prefer kunde's voice.
