He waited too long

"Unfortunately he waited too long to record these songs. If only he had sung these when he was in his youthful prime. Only compare his recording of "Non t'amo piu" to that of Pavarotti and you will realize the difference between good and great. He seems to be pushing throughout, and this effortfulness limits his ability to interpret these songs. I almost wish he had transposed these songs down a Major Second or minor Third, so that he could sing them with more ease. But being Domingo it is not a bad cd; it is only not as good as it could have been.

I can only hope that Juan Diego Flores does not make the same mistake."

"As an avid Domingo fan I loved the CD. I prefer his opera performances but loved this music, it is a wonderful selection of Italian favorites. Relaxing, pleasant music from a master of song. After all he is the tenor of the century. B.Hamilton, below Savannah, Ga."
