Comment on UPCOMING CONCERTS by John Potter

Hi Nick

Really sorry about this. I have to admit that I’m barely computer literate and rely on lots of people who are much bettter at it than I am. This is fine when it works, but when there’s a glitch I’m pretty helpless till Oskar, my web guru, rides to my rescue. I’ve had loads of problems with subscriptions (the audio thing is a new one) but I hope they’ll get sorted later this week. The way it works is that I look after the News page as a WordPress blog, and Oskar does the stuff that changes less often (everything else). Fingers crossed…

Great website, very interesting to see all your achievements. Noticed the player didn’t work, but also I thought I’d subscribe via email and I couldn’t make that work. Can you subscribe me please?

Nick.

With great sadness I note the recent passing of Louis Danto.

He is a remarkable person – what you see is what you get. His final point in the programme was that what all these star tenors have in common is charisma. He’s certainly one of the most charismatic people I’ve ever met.

Hi John

I missed the programme, but i have seen other things with Rolando Villazon in it, and i just had to agree with you. I always marvel at this famous person just being himself and having fun along the way, but when the voice comes out to play WOW. We just all are there in complete heaven.

Absolutely – and judging from your blog you completely understand the joy of tenor!

I have to completely agree with you here, Rolando Villazon is an absolutely amazing Tenor. That coupled with his wonderful acting ability and facial expressions, really add to the spectacle that is Rolando Villazon

I have particularly enjoyed listening and watching him perform Nemorinos aria “Una Furtiva Lagrima” you have to be able to float your voice to sing this, and he is an expert at it .

Comment on Screen tenors: Kiepura and the Polish question by John Potter

What an amazing coincidence! I should have added to the discography a 10 CD set of Unvergessene Stimmen on Membran 231757, which includes an album each of Jan Kiepura and Martha Eggerth. The Kiepura disc is mostly Lehar, Stolz and Puccini, and includes two duets with Martha.
