Possibly the finest Mozart tenor I have ever heard. It is as if he invented circular breathing for the human voice, and this is from a live performance. Extraordinary! Possessed of a touch of an heroic ring in his voice, he would surely have been wonderful as Walther in Die Meistersinger, and I wouldn't mind betting that Solti tried hard to talk him into doing it.

Under-rated always and yet a great master. Breath control few can match.
