I've been listening to Richard Tucker on youtube and am very impressed. Beautiful voice.

Obviously there's the wonderful Mario Lanza to be reckoned with. Any other serious contenders?
EDIT: Oops, forgot Richard Crooks (and Tucker's brother-in-law Jan Peerce)!

James King is probably the best Wagnerian tenor that the US has produced:

There's a space in your link so it doesn't work, but I managed to get to the video.

John Barrowman?
It's not an area I'm knowledgeable in I'm afraid.
Scottish. I think he's a soprano anyway.

Is he not Scottish / American? He certainly looks & sounds American...well he did when I saw him in Cosi the other night...
shareYeah, his family emigrated to the States when he was eight.
He was singing opera?! Why did you go if he was in it? I'm guessing he wasn't very good?

Oh no...I was jesting re Cosi, sorry!

I am such a sap!
