5.0 out of 5 starsA Promising, Committed Artist with a wonderful Voice
By The Cultural Observer on July 9, 2008
Format: Audio CD
Large-voiced tenors are in short supply today, a phenomenon that most likely traces its origin to the vocal education system that stresses importance on the purity of tone so favored in Mozart and Handel's operas that are in such a vogue in today's classical music scene. However beautiful and well-controlled many of today's tenor voices are, this does not produce the thrilling electricity that you can get from voices that once rang full and true in a manner similar to that of the singers from an earlier part of the century like Ludwig Suthaus, Ramon Vinay, and Max Lorenz in the German wing and Franco Corelli and Carlo Bergonzi in the Italian department. Fortunately, a few stars do emerge from this low calorie vocal rubble who can prove themselves successors to the crown that has for so long been left to the hands of many a tenor who lacks not only the heft but also the imagination to apply that magical touch that place the stamp on the work of a star. Jonas Kaufmann is one such singer, and it is most fortunate that Decca took the incentive to hire this tenor for a long awaited recital CD featuring his work in a variety of repertory that not only amazes the listener with this artist's versatility, but also with his outstanding commitment.

Perhaps he is not idiomatic in every sense of the word. His work in Puccini hardly describes the plush, Italianate cushion that characterizes the work of tenors like Bergonzi, nor does his Verdi raise any flags that indicate the second coming of a Domingo or a Carreras. However, its his ability to produce a consistently charming and aesthetically beguiling interpretation of these roles outside his natural fach that makes him such an irresistible find.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsNew interesting voice
By old-phonographs on March 17, 2008
Format: MP3 Music Verified Purchase
I discovered Jonas Kaufmann by accident searching the internet. What a wonderful surprise to hear a Tenor voice unlike any I have ever heard before. There are a couple of moments on this CD that are so wonderful I had to listen to them multiple times on my first hearing. The Manon and the Meistersinger arias are so musical and heart felt. His dark masculine sound threw me at first, but I love this album and I love his voice. I think we will hear much from him in the future.

5.0 out of 5 starsRefreshing detour
By BG SD 48329 on May 10, 2008
Format: Audio CD
It is wonderful to hear tenor arias sung with a darker, masculine tone; it's wonderful and refreshing. His high notes are solid; he translates from forte to pianissimo with ease, on key. I have listened to this album multiple times and will purchase future Kaufmann releases.

4.0 out of 5 starsMore Herr Kaufmann, danke!
By G P Padillo VINE VOICE on May 5, 2008
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I've taken a different - or at least partially opposing point of view regarding this album than a number of my friends. Initially, I, must admit I was slightly disappointed, expecting something more . . . but it is fast (very fast) growing on me. I have to laugh at some public forum comments on this artist as being "Male Netrebko."

Most early major label recordings of any artist always feature them in too familiar works pitting them against the memories (real or imagined) of one's favorite singers and the incomparable manner in which they sang such chestnuts.

However, the fact remains that Kaufmann is actually singing some of these roles and I think, ultimately for both voice and career, he is being absolutely wise in his choice of repertoire and keeping the voice flexible, fresh and free. What a Tannhauser he will make with that sound. Ditto Parsifal, Lohengrin and . . . well, I'm jumping ahead of myself.

The primary reason I think this album is growing on me, however, is that I absolutely LOVE the rather considerable contrast he brings to roles when compared to more "typical" Rodolfos, Fausts, des Grieuxs, Marios and Alfredos. We're living in a magical time for light/lyric tenors but, even despite their distinct sounds and interpretations, they prove to have more uniform timbres presenting less wholly original dramatic spectrum in these roles. I love the individual stamp that any singer can bring to these roles and for that reason am thrilled that as fine and intelligent singer as Herr Kaufmann is he seems to invest something unusual into each of his assignments. For this alone, he rises to the top of the current "youngish" brood.

(For something truly wonderful check out the youtubes of Kaufmann in some of his operetta selections.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsInfectious Sense Of Purpose Is Unyielding!
By Raymond Vacchino on April 19, 2008
Format: Audio CD
Several years ago I had the pleasure of attending a recital Jonas Kaufmann gave in Munich. I had heard about his superb interpretation of Strauss Lieder and when I finally had my ears filled by his compelling voice a sense of revelation and inspiration totally consumed me. Kaufmann's singing of these 'Romantic Arias' conveys such an unequivocal direction of line and beauty of conception. The voice is deep and has the rich, darker quality of a baritone, yet the eloquence he produces is substantial and his range vast, consequently allowing him to attain long-breathed generosity in the middle and higher tenor register. This ability is gloriously conveyed in Massenet's "Manon", ingratiating in tone and pleasingly articulate. As well, Kaufmann provides innate dramatic sensibility and poetically nuanced dynamics especially in the extremely high notes. In Wagner's "Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg..." Kaufmann's operatic grandeur provides us with singing that is radiant, exhilarating and never denying the incandescence of the climaxes. Verdi's "La traviata" tended to lack the necessary light-hearted character in the aria, but without doubt the "Flower Song" from Carmen opens Kaufmann's soul. The phrases have both elegance and intensity, producing a touch of sensuousness in the tone. His gentle pacing of the long ascending finale makes for a spiritual encounter. Kaufmann is, as ever, admirable in the quality of his tone, the clarity of his diction and the conviction of his style. He is a remarkably gifted artist, yet the voice is still young, and Kaufmann is indeed striving to find placement and a sense of future direction, as his personal musical journey continues to captivate us with grandeur, artistic maturity, and anticipation of future magnificant accomplishments.

"It is only a matter of time before Jonas Kaufmann will take his place as one of the world's finest tenors!"
(Jon Vickers)
