6. "Romantic Arias." Jonas Kaufmann, tenor(Decca)
Listeners who were bowled over by the gifted young German tenor's Des Grieux
in Lyric Opera's recent "Manon" are going to be similarly impressed by his
debut recital disc of favorite French, German and Italian arias. Kaufmann's
distinctive baritonal colorings, warm midrange, easy top and keen
interpretive intelligence enable him to characterize each selection vividly. |
