Music reviews of Incomparable Alfredo Kraus
Music Review: One of the greatest
Rating: 5 Stars
Our group had just finished a concert in which I had sung a solo. A fellow tenor, somewhat younger than I, said to me, "I hope I can still reach those high notes when I am as old as you are." I was 45 at the time. And, WOW, here is Alfredo Kraus at 67, popping off the high C's from La fille du regiment, as if they were no more than F sharps!
"A Customer" called Kraus "the BEST tenor in last 50 years," which may well be somewhat an overstatement. The last half of the twentieth century saw a number of great tenors--Bjoerling, Tucker, Peerce, Carreras, Pavarotti, Domingo. And Alfredo Kraus can stand with any of them. He is definitely ONE of the greatest!
This recording exemplifies why he fits in the great category. Standouts are the Kleinzach legend from Hoffmann, one of his signature roles, and of course, all the high C's.
