Grazie Scarpia, I saw him in Atlanta when the Met used to tour. A very great, a marvelous singer who went back between bass and baritone parts like they were nothing-
Well, I saw Justino performing Iago in Paris, Bastille... He was really great, and sang the top a in the Canzon far much better than natural baritones! The color and the vocal presence were simply awesome! And what an actor he was, in the sadly famous production of Petrika Ionesco!
Very off breathing. I felt out-of-breath just listening to him. He breathes in the middle of phrases where it makes no sense, and he therefore can't establish a proper vocal line. He has a great natural voice, but his technique here was terrible.
