Biography

“There are only two kinds of music – good music and bad music” - Alfie Boe.

Not many teenage boys in the fishing port of Fleetwood, Lancashire, dreamed of a career as a singer. But not many teenage boys in Fleetwood grew up with a Dad who played his favourite operatic arias to his nine children during the family Sunday lunch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alfie Boe just brilliant 23 Aug 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
What more can one say other than Alfie Boe is just a genius. We have seen him
live on stage in London in Les Miserables and he was just sensational. His music is like the new
Pavarotti and each CD offers more depth and variety in this wonderful man. He
can do no wrong and just gets better and better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alfie Boe Does It Again 22 Sep 2011
Format:Audio CD
For those who have become enamored with the voice and musicianship of Alfred Boe, this recording of songs from the operettas of Franz Lehár will be met with excitement. Though this recording was made from May 19 - 21, 2009 in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and released in the UK that year, it is only now available in the US as of this year. According to Boe, "I have to say that recording the album `Franz Lehar: Love was a Dream' was the most enjoyable recording sessions I have ever been involved in. The studio was the stage of The Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow. Normally when recording the voice you get separated from the orchestra but in this case I had the opportunity to stand and record my vocal in the middle of the string section. In my opinion this creates a solid connection with the players and forms a unity of sound. Also having the live connection with your conductor makes a huge difference. There were moments in the sessions when I really picked up on the melody of the instruments surrounding me and began to really understand their contribution to the score. The Orchestra of Scottish Opera were amazing, the control they had with the delicate musical structures and simplicity of sound, for the Lehar score, was perfection. I really hope we can work together again in the future.

Franz Lehár (30 April 1870 - 24 October 1948) and it is no exaggeration to say that his 1905 The Merry Widow (Die lustige Witwe) ushered in not only a new age in Viennese operetta, but was the work which showed the way for a new style of, purely twentieth-century, musical play. Between then and 1934, when his last stage work, Giuditta, was premiered, Lehár knew an almost uninterrupted success.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Class Singer! 2 April 2012
By FAMOUS NAME VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a nice album - one of three I purchased by Alfie Boe after hearing him on Classic FM, and because they were so reasonably priced.

He sounds a very old-fashioned type singer (not many about) and sings very much in the old style. Whilst there are quite a few old-type singers, they always manage to sound 'modern' somehow which 'cheapens' the effect - Alfie succeeds where many fail in this area in my opinion and sounds rather 'classy'. He is also able to reach those dramatic top notes with ease - and also those softer and much gentler ones too when needed.

I think the first half of this album is better than the second - perhaps because I am more familiar with the songs in the first half.

Didn't know much about him, but when I went to see some clips of him on YouTube he looks pretty fit to me!

Alfie must have one of the best voices that this country has produced.A lovely choice of songs on this compilation which do his singing talents justice.Very easy to listen to again and again.I'm only sad that my Dad is no longer around to listen to it.

This guy gives me goose bumps when I listen to him. He has a beautiful voice.

I did think it odd that it was cheaper to buy the CD's than to have a simple download. Read more
