Rolando Villazon Tenor

Rolando Villazon is undoubtedly amongst the top elite of present and past tenors, his style and acting ability really makes you marvel at his complete performance. As you watch and listen you are taken to whatever place his performance describes, as it unfolds before your very eyes. This is a very rare quality that he has more than his fair share of.

Although all the above is very relevant to rolando villazon, he has had to go through testing times with his career. A while ago he had alledged surgery on his throat, and a couple of times has had to rest it for a period as well. It does not need me to tell you that this a potentially catastropic thing to happen to a singer. Was this due to overuse of his voice ? who knows.

Another interesting item i read a while back was stating, that rolando villazon wished to be the new placido domingo and he would like to take on the demanding roles placido had mastered. I do not know whether this is fact or just plain speculation, but if it is true i feel care is needed here because the demanding roles may give rolando villazon new vocal problems. And i for one would be very sad indeed to see that.

Rolando Villazon is indeed the complete package, i marvel at his abilities and delight in the perfomance and commitment he gives to every musical phrase and movement. If you have not yet had the pleasure of this, i absolutely implore you to seek out and listen in yourself. For the opener may i suggest his rendition of "una furtiva lagrima" from donizetti,s elisir da damore. Or maybe "Che Gelida Manina" from La Boheme with Anna Netrebko.
