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)!
