Description
|
|
|
|
A lyric tenor in a class of his own, Alfredo Kraus (1927–1999) was acclaimed for the beauty, elegance, and passion of his singing. This 1990 recital presents the tenor in a characteristic program of songs by Massenet, Duparc, Bizet, Tosti, Falla, Mompou, Turina, Obradors, and others, as well as arias from Ciléa's L'arlesiana and Verdi's Rigoletto ("La donna è mobile"). Includes English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish subtitles. "He was the grand seigneur among tenors in our time—perhaps the noblest of them all…. Kraus was a singer's singer, a tenor blessed with brains as well as voice, an artist for the connoisseur. He offered object lessons in such virtues as delicacy, suavity, sensitivity, dignity, economy, integrity. Above all, he savored the value of elegance, which, of course, proved his source of eloquence."—Opera News
