Il Tenore: CD

Description

It was a rare thrill to hear a tenor voice of this ease and brilliance. The new Pavarotti? Weve heard that before. This time it might just be true Observer

Singing sensation of the moment. BBC Radio 4

The first recording of opera arias from the star tenor, Freddie de Tommaso. Following his chart-topping debut album, Il Tenore celebrates the greatest tenor hits by Puccini and Bizet including ‘Nessun dorma’, ‘E lucevan le stelle’ and ‘The Flower Song’ from Carmen.
