| | I was listening to a Domingo Zarzuela album yesterday, which is also beautiful. He sings with Maria Bayo. I had never heard of her, but she is magnificent. The album is Zarzuelas, and is called Romanzas.
I had not heard of this Carreras Zarzuela album, but I think Zarzuelas would be perfect for his voice. I saw Carreras' first performance at the New York City Opera in the early 70's in Butterfly. Although I don't think he is the vocal equal of Domingo or Pavarotti, I do agree that at his best he was poetic and convincing. His Boheme with Stratas that is available on DVD is probably his best. I have a Chenier with Eva Marton which is also compelling.Since his major illness in the 80's, I have found his singing a little painful.
