Actually, I bought the CD out of curiosity. Jonas Kaufmann, who has impressed me as a Wagner singer completely, in Munich as Lohengrin and in New York as Siegmund, who wanted to sing opera ?? Can it? So far I had almost every time an opera singer sang operetta, the impression: There simply lack the lightness and the eviction! For example, Anna Netrebko, who sang the Czardasfürstin to my mind as Aida. I bought the CD and was very surprised. The singer, who announced here with flattering, dreamy lightness: Somewhere in the world dibt's a little bit of luck "or explained with naughty elegant Schmiss duet from the divan doll;" That on Aug false tears and the heart sawdust like you "! , or with seductive melting lured: "Have a blue sky bed", which was the same person who filled the huge New York Met with huge Wälserufen Unbelievable! His operatic tenor sets Kaufmann as one where it fits and it differentiates this very cleverly: the theme song: "Sonja" You are the world to me, for example, as you can at the entrance to the something rather suspect the Wälserufer from New York. And when he softly continued, "You are the world to me", he does like he proclaims as Lohengrin "in the far country unapproachable your steps, stands a castle, called the Monsalvat." Then he announced again with ease buffohafter "I have only one thought (..) I kiss your hands, the slender, then I look around for your mouth", and then again to proclaim with full opera voice: "I have only one desire. . "That is masterful. Just as "friends, life is worth living in which he perfectly brings passion and flattery expressed the same. Well selected and the last two performances. In the song of the life of Schrenk, which anyway is more like an operatic aria, Kaufmann can his opera tenor with again bring dramatic expressiveness full expression, and then with the lyrical duet "happiness which remained me" to end the whole tender. This is beautiful, simply beautiful.
