Kraus is great but he is so lyric.. he reminds me of Lemeshev (not in this compilation). Really impeccable technique, and so easy like you say. Look up Lemeshev's Parmi Veder Le Lagrime for comparison... effortless high notes that are very delicate and lyric (but still very exciting and properly placed). In this I thought Valente and Lauri-Volpi were tops. I usually rank Tucker really high but this wasn't one of my favorite clips of his (although he does some really nice singing on that same TV appearance if you look it up).

I saw Alfredo Kraus at Covent Garden in the 1970's in Faust, with Freni and Ghiarov. He was so smooth, it was amazing.

Veronica McCarrison - My sentiments exactly. I wouldn't rank them; each has his spot and all just magnificent.

Lauri-Volpi was in his prime while in his youth. That’s not always the case with singers, but certainly applies for him. His high notes rank way up there with Corelli for a tremendously ringing squillo that could blow the roof off the house, which is not as evident in recorded sound.

Jussi Björling is technically perfect. I never loved his interpretations, but his technique was superb.

Would rather listen to young Pavarotti for his power. He said he learned to yell first, then sing. I'm not sure if he was the loudest tenor, but he sure sounded like a beast. Just listen to his Ah! Mes Ami. Most tenors are worn out, sounding threadbare, 2/3rds of the way through, then comes the C's. He had stamina and power, and another gear most singers don't have. I think he drew from his days as a phys-ed instructor. Singing is an athletic event.

This was a fabulous video. My all time favorite tenor is the incomparable Franco Corelli. He was a spin to tenor with a deeper sound that was truly unique. His rendition of “Nessum Dorma” is the best ever in my opinion, although Pavorotti’s version is awfully hard to beat also. The contemporary tenor I really like is Jonas Kaufman. He has a deep resonance in his voice quite a bit like Corelli’s. His show stopping aria near the climax of “Werther” which is available on You Tube is breathtakingly beautiful.

Excuse me, but if you cannot hear the chiaroscuro in old singers like del Monaco's or Lauri-Volpi's or Corelli's voice, then you miss the point. The point is not to hit the note and hold it forever, but to make it sound effortless and not overly bright, which is the case with so many modern singers. They sound like boys in a choir when they hit anything above G.

I had some recordings of Bjorling from the late 50s near the end of his life , far richer voice than the 40s recordings . You have to consider the aria , the era ,and the age of the man also .

What a magnificent collection. Great job !

What is so beautiful and spectacular about the High B that some sing it so effortlessly.

It's really hard to make a ranking on a technical level, because most of them are damn good! But when it comes to personal taste Kraus is absolutely my man!
