About

From one of the greatest Verdi singers on today's operatic stage, a disc of the most glorious music Verdi wrote for the tenor voice.

"Alvarez performs with generosity and compassion, throwing himself into the high emotions demanded. He scales his high notes joyfully, boldly, never indulgently. This is familiar Pavarotti territory, but in Alvarez's hands a more tormented and impassioned experience." (Evening Standard, London (on Il Trovatore at Covent Garden))

Marcelo Álvarez showcases the voice that has made him THE Verdi tenor on today's operatic stage, in his first disc for Decca.

Awards and reviews

December 2009

Throughout, Álvarez offers open-hearted, open-throated vocalism, founded on impeccable breath control and a textural attention that binds the consonants carefully into the line. …there's some fine caressing of the line (Ballo), immaculately shaped cantilena (Luisa Miller), impetuous heroism (thrilling in Trovatore) and an intelligent highlighting of the dramatic context throughout, but especially in Macbeth, Forza and Otello.
