Search Is On For the Next Pavarotti

I feel it is a mistake to choose one particular tenor voice, or one particular kind of tenor voice, to stand as some absolute measurement of quality. Singing is neither politics nor a sports contest. I recommend that anybody interested in tenors go to hear as many as possible and listen to as many as possible on CD and DVD. There are many excellent tenors, each distinctive, all enjoyable. Be adventurous -- don't just stay with one!
