Having grown up, like Alfie Boe, listening to the recordings of Richard Tauber thanks to my father, I was intrigued as to what this would be like.
The result is a surprise. I loved it! I wouldn't say that Boe is at this stage a great tenor, and he may never get to that stage, but he has a very pleasant voice with shades of Tauber in there, though more power than he ever had.
There is plenty of control too, which is nice to hear. The singer says that he wants to open up classical music for young people and he has done a very good and worthy job with this excellent release.
