It's my hope that G:osta Windbergh employs this philosophy, Graham. I heard him sing Don Ottavio in Chicago many years ago & it was a seamless, tender & virile performance. Many years later -- I heard him sing Walter von Stolzing to much acclaim (I liked him too)! Next season - in Chicago - he climbs the heights of Parsifal...I can't wait!
My recommendation to Mirko is to listen to Mssrs: Windbergh, Herr Wunderlich, Anton Dermota & Leopold Simoneau as a few tenors that handled WAM's tenor line admirably & perhaps knew what the young man was talking about.
EV wannabe WAM tenor (but not in this lifetime)!
