Hampson: about the best recording of his I‘ve heard Hadley: as fabulous as ever

Jerry Hadley is fantastic here. In my humble opinion he was one of the greatest lyric tenors of all times. Although Hampson is an undeveloped tenor, his voice is beautiful here. This tenor duet is not bad at all. Beautiful performance!

An "undeveloped tenor"? Hampson was never a tenor; he was a baritone.

@Detectivefiction That's your opinion, and you are entitled to it. By the old school of singing standards, he is most definitely not a baritone. I know many critics argue that he is a very light lyric baritone, etc. He is a very intelligent singer with a beautiful voice, and like Leo Nucci (another tenore corto), he has been able to have a successful career singing baritone repertoire. Does that make him a real baritone? In my opinion (which is shared by many voice teachers and critics), it does not. It is one of those cases where there is much debate and abundant defenders on both sides. Anyhow, this performance was very beautiful, and tenor or not, Hampson remains a first-class singer with much success. I was by no means trying to trash him or diminish him.

I read through many of these comments. Some are accurate and some are absurd. There was only one tenor that accomplished singing completely in all ranges from the lower baritone and and high C ranges of a dramatic tenor, to include singing forcefully always - to a point of coming across as if singing softly and that was Mario Lanza. Thomas Hampton comes closer to this than other tenors I have heard (he is a tenor!).

Whereas the Caliph is explaining to the Wazir (chief of police or more accurately - Mr. Fixit) about this girl he fancies. It makes a truly stunning quartet, sung by Alfred Drake, Doretta Morrow, Richard Kiley & Henry Calvin in the original Broadway production (recording available on youtube) I assure you the music only comes to full flower with a (good) quartet. It comes from a string quartet by Alexander Borodin.
