Don't you think it astonishing that, at 58, I am still working at improving my career?

When I was a young man, I was a baritone, very far from possessing the whole range of the tenor then.

When a young artist is ready, one has to bring him into the limelight.

I hope I have given back half the joy music has given me.

I have always studied my parts with the orchestral score and not with the piano reduction.

Honestly, if the public still wants to hear me in some works, I have to go down a half step.

The press regularly proclaims my ambitions and my financial demands.
