The discussion’s tenor
Excellent article (“The Voice to Watch,” Jan. 23) by Chris Kraul -- someone who really knows his tenors.
However, I noticed that he forgot to mention Jose Carreras, who, together with Domingo and Pavarotti, was a member of the Three Tenors franchise; otherwise, the “heir” to their throne, Rolando Villazon, wouldn’t have been dubbed “The Fourth Tenor.”
Kraul also forgot to mention Roberto Alagna, the first candidate ever identified as “The Fourth Tenor” and still the most recorded and identifiable tenor of the present crop.
