(...) shows us a dramatic tenor with a strong high register; his high C, for example in 'La donna e mobile' and 'Di quella pira' would be the envy of any of today's tenors. This CD features the heroic tenor Pekka Nuotio (1929-1989), one of the leading Finnish singers of the 1960s and '70s. Nuotio's repertoire ranged from Italian (with an emphasis on Puccini) to Russian and French opera and included also the heavy Wagner roles - Nuotio partnered Birgit Nilson in Tristan and Tannhäuser at the New York Metropolitan Opera from 1965-67. |
