Opera Arias : Jose Cura(T)Domingo / Philharmonia

Puccini: Arias / Cura, Domingo, Philharmonia Orchestra, Composer: Giacomo Puccini, Performer: Jos Cura, Conductor: Placido Domingo, Orchestra/Ensemble: Philharmonia Orchestra. Since Jos Cura first appeared on the international stage, many extravagant claims have been made for his voice, but this disc confirms that his exciting tenor is indeed the real thing. Here is almost every tenor aria Puccini composed, with all but one of his operas - the exception being the all-female Suor Angelica - represented. If that sounds like too much of a good thing, then you need to hear the young Argentinean Jos Cura sing this music. In the short time since he first appeared on the international stage, many extravagant claims have been made for his voice, but this disc confirms that his exciting tenor is indeed the real thing.
