I definitely have an amateur ear when it comes to listening to tenors, so I can’t state with any authority who is best. I believe I may have missed out on Luciano Pavarotti’s best years. I wish I had the opportunity to hear him live while he was in his prime.

Thanks for the corrections of Corelli and Carreras. I didn’t check the spelling on either and should have. I simply copied what was written. I’ll use more caution next time.

Regards,

Thanks, John! I didn’t stop to double-check the spelling. Quite honestly, though… folks misspell my name all the time. It doesn’t bother me too much (except that they can’t find my site!).

Lucky for me, I never professed to be an expert at this. I only know what I feel when I listen to music… or Carreras.

I won’t forget how to spell it. Mr. Carreras, if you’re reading this - I humbly apologize.

Thanks so much for the lesson and taking time out to add the links. I would have very much liked to have heard Correlli with modern acoustics.

I still think Potts was remarkable for someone who sells phones - I’m curious to see what happens with some of the best trainers and coaches at his disposal. Potts just signed a £1million record deal, so I think some others are seeing some opportunity there as well!

Thanks again!
Doug
