Joseph Calleja sings a song by Guy d'Hardelot, made famous first by Caruso and then perhaps even more so later by Mario Lanza (and Perry Como!). BBC radio broadcast, 2006.
Stuart Burrows, as well as being a great Mozartian tenor, was a passionate exponent of the parlour song and traditional ballad.Here he sings "The Rose of Tralee" and "Mary of Argyle". These are available in a Decca box-set.
Joseph Calleja as the Duke in "Rigoletto" by Verdi..... Welsh National Opera, 2002. This was the first time I'd heard Joseph's voice and I felt instantly that he was destined for greatness. How wonderfully he has matured over time......Bravo, Joseph!
The great Welsh Mozartian tenor will be 75 tomorrow so in his honour I'm posting a recording of "Il mio tesoro" from Don Giovanni(on the Decca label). Happy Birthday, Stuart!
