The High Note Is Not The Only

If Money Was My Only Motivation, I Would Organize Myself Differently.

I Hope I Have Given Back Half The Joy Music Has Given Me.

Between Parts I Was Too Old For And Roles That Were Too Overwhelming, Out Of Reach Then For My Voice. I Carved Out A Niche With The Wagnerian Repertoire Since I Am Attracted By Its Theatrical Intensity.

I Then Realized That I Could Never Be Satisfied Again With The Mere Natural Charm Of My Voice, That I Had To Constantly Paint When Singing, Melting All The Colors, Expressing Reds And Blacks That Had To Be Less Primary But Bursting With Subtly Colored Combinations.

When I Was A Young Man, I Was A Baritone, Very Far From Possessing The Whole Range Of The Tenor Then.
