I recommend this album

"I guess I'm a little prejudice; I bought this album because I sing in the Gregory Kunde Chorale and because I have heard him live in some of our performances, and I find him to be an excellent singer and performer and a wonderful, inspiring chorale conductor; I wanted to have a sample of his works in my cd library. I was not concerned as was the earlier reviewer of hearing his ability to sing high notes. His overall presentation of a song his singing technique and all I know of his personality comes through in this recording."

Still singing after all these yers

"Gregory Kunde made his debut in the 70's and this is a recent recording. The fact that he can still negotiate the range and coloratura after 25 years or so is remarkable. Most tenors of this ilke do not survive this long. I would assume that he has not ventured from these types of roles and that may be one key. Yes, the voice sounds a bit worn but he does well overalland this recording is another good example of the resurgence of the coloratura tenor, the King of which for me is still Rockwell Blake."
