Bizet - Carmen - Vanzo, Berganza, Kenny, Philippe, Rodde / Navarro - Paris, 28 dec 1982

This is an audience recording made in the Paris Opera with two big stars : Teresa Berganza and Alain Vanzo. The sound is very fine, so here is something to enjoy for the Vanzo fans and also the very stylish Carmen of Berganza. Larry, thank you for your effort to make this recording !

I really like this version, but I prefer the opera Carmen conducted by Abbado, with Tereza Berganza and Placido Domingo. Vanzo is, in my opinion, the greatest French tenor of the post-war period, especially during the 1960s and 1970s. A magnificent light lyric tenor. I wanted to pay tribute to him in a song through a young performer who speaks about the challenges and triumphs of the world of lyrical singing while encouraging her brother to pursue his dream of becoming a tenor despite the obstacles : kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJTRqHtnf7NmqM0
