[@foxchool]

Thank god there are still people around who can sing.

I just discovered him, He is a great tenor, with one wonderful timber. He is so musical, and in control of his breath and voice. What can I say, Great Maestro.

So powerful yet smooth at its edges.

[@CraigSutMusic]

Outstanding. Wow...i've never seen this guy until now. Has the Mario Lanza voice and phrasing. So soft, yet passionate to make you understand about life's emotions.

Outstanding. I prefer his version to any other I've heard.

[@juliathys8116]

Mooie tenorstem !!!

[@dinovalle1]

bravissimo

[@TBer50]

He reminds me of Pavarotti! But even better!!!!!!!

[@JackT-aux]

Yes.

[@can3112]

beautiful!!!!!!!!

[@owenboi66]

Nothing wrong with a bit of vibrato! It seems to give his voice a wonderful warm, shimmering quality. As you say - where are their hearts?

[@juliathys8116]

Mooie tenorstem !!! Cassanova !

[@paid4infull]

Superb once again. (Why have the ratings-like/dislike-been disabled for this video?)

[@brunospagli]

eccezionale, grazie a Leo che me lo ha segnalato

[@Dosdo]

Cute conductor, by the way. Calleja is the end of the world, as they say in some lands. A touch of beauty.

[@melholmes5399]

This man is the best of Pavarotti. Domingo and Carreras rolled into one!

[@BuHg3oP]

Reminds of Neil Schicoff ... great performance

[@saviour9816]

Just leaves you: SPELLBOUND

[@moorfan1]

Nothing. Sounded just fine to me. Have no idea what you are referring to. Much agree with Jussi here!

[@alecastelliani]

I just say he reminds me of Kraus, but he's a lot better.

[@Welcoome111]

somehow reminds Andris Lapins kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJyxY5ypjtafZ7M

[@rogerramsbottom789]

People who refer to vibrato rates are idiots! Where are your hearts? Well done JC

[@plwebb]

@shmk1 I agree, that's exactly my thoughts! I like his tone but his vibrato is too fast.

[@kasutzki]

Very easy, but that constant vibrato disturbs me, reminds me of what Del Monaco said about Corelli: peccorelli... sorry.

[@Fitz65]

He went flat. Or at least that's what I hear. Still a great singer.

[@TheMightyAntar]

It's a great voice, but I think he's pushing it a bit too hard in this performance. I hope he's given time to develop properly.

[@fatherman73]

fabulous phrasing, pushing a little too hard in the lower/middle registers, needs to cover a little more on the top. I'd definitely pay to see this guy, though. Big, beautiful, muscular sound!

[@shmk1]

nice tone but the vibrato is a bit offputting
