A happy feature of the King CD is the booklet in German and English: at least 7 pages full of information on the tenor. Then there is the pristine sound of the recordings. Though there is no mention of a concert source I’m fairly sure all the pieces (always followed by generous applause), are derived from the famous Münchner Sonntag Konzerte. |

This rich, full-bodied wine is only made in excellent vintages and has spicy aromas, berry fruit flavors and a velvety finish. |
| Dramatic tenor--also called tenore di forza in Italian, Chénier and Alvaro in La forza del destino are dramatic tenor roles that require a spinto quality, able to carry over heavy orchestral textures with ease. The tenore robusto, however, must carry with it a certain baritonal 'weight' and color: Otello is such a role, and Ernani and Manrico were originally considered as part of the robusto tradition even though the roles are not always cast that way today. Some sources separate dramatic and sprint but they are assigned interchangeably. |
