The young Romanian, Vitalij Kowaljow, a last-minute replacement for Samuel Ramey, mounted the Verdian bicycle and rode it with a natural grace and style. It was a truly impressive Paris debut for this young man whose difficult name will soon be a familiar sound in opera circles. The other minor roles were strongly delivered and the French singers, at least, did justice to their mother tongue../Japonica
