I had the privilege of being on the same stage when Dennis O'Neill sang many premiers and performances of major Verdi roles at the Bavarian Opera and he remains one of the finest tenors that I have known and heard. His interpretation of the Verdi Requiem is always very beautiful as we see here and 20 odd years later. Bravo Dennis!
Well, what can I say ... a good singer, nice voice - yes that's true. But he and we will never know what he truly is capable of and believe me there is more beauty there that will never be revealed. Why? Because of the path of training he undertook. His voice is based on tone and thus needs all the physical 'strings' in order to keep this 'creation' at it's peak. There is only one true path in singing and that is one which obeys nature and simplicity. Bjorling was the last tenor who sang truly.
