Powerful and pleasant surprise! Handsome as young Chaliapin, reminds me of Kipnis but with the velvet of Pinza.. However not imitating any. Original and musical interpretation. Excellent diction and language, and much more than diction, the stress and understanding of the text is so clear and emphasised. Has any of yiou seen him live? Thank you for this discovery, I posted it to opera-l and other group.
