Music reviews of Very Best of Jose Van Dam

Music Review: A vocal phenomenon
Rating: 5 Stars

Think about it: this man has been singing beautifully for nearly FIFTY years, having made his debut so young. We opera lovers grew up with his voice as a kind of ideal in many roles, especially those which must be sung with seamless legato and in French - although his sung German and Italian are faultless, too. His one weakness is perhaps that he occasionally sings roles which are manifestly too low for him; he is a bass-baritone with the emphasis upon the latter voice category. I did hear him live - a particularly memorable occasion was Haydn's "Die Schoepfung" in Liege - and was very impressed. There is no qualitative difference between the studio recordings and the live performances featured on this compilation; his discography confirms his supremacy as one of the most versatile and consistently pleasing singers of our era.

Highlights for me are his Jokanaan in the "Salome", his Dutchman - though some prefer a weightier voice - the Brahms "Requiem" excerpt and the aria from "Herodiade". I confess to being less keen on some of the more recherche operatic items and the Poulenc (never my favourite composer) songs, but they are of interest because they are unhackneyed and anything Van Dam sings has beauty and merit.

This is very good value and provides a testimony to a marvellous voice which we are in danger of taking for granted, it has been delighting us for so long.
