What a magnificent interview! Huge props to both interviewer and interviewee.

I'm so glad he keeps himself from getting anything as serious as leukemia again. As painful and unpleasant as blood tests are (I don't like them, and I am very sure Carreras does NOT look forward to when he goes in to have one), they are beneficial and give you a peace of mind if you are worried about getting seriously ill. They are especially important for him now, since he is in his mid-60s.

Opera is to music what a bawdy house is to a cathedral.

The really funny part is that Carreras sings "My Way" with excellent English unlike Sinatra who murders the dipthongs.

Later in life Sinatra became a source of parody for his dipthongs eg. - "I did it my wayeeeeeeee" or "Strangers in the nieeeeeeeegth".

Sinatra was of course a vocal genius and Carerras is certainly right to revere him. But when he got older his mechanism could no longer support his intentions.

This is a wonderful interview! Is that really

a recording of Jose Carreras singing "La Donna e Mobile" as a boy? The part where Placido Domingo brought Carreras onstage for a curtain call brought tears to my eyes.

Superb interview. Tremendous rapport.

I agree with Carreras: congratulations to the journalist for the way leading. He's been able to point out the marvelous José's personality, with few, deep questions.
