I was married at 16, a father at 17 and divorced at 18.
With my personal preparation at the piano, I can afford to hum at half voice.
When I was a young man, I was a baritone, very far from possessing the whole range of the tenor then.
Young singers are much better educated musically, much better informed, through discs and videos, than I was.
I feel at home in an orchestral score.
This season, over eight productions, I am presenting four young tenors.
