Shouldn’t that be the ‘Greatest Living Famous Welsh Voice?’ In which case, it’ll probably be between Tom, Gwynyth and Brian Trifle. However, if fame is not a criterion, they should look at all the Welsh voice students who graced the RNCM in the ’80’s and ’90’s who, for one reason or another, didn’t become household names. I’m thinking Gwion Thomas, Minyhr (sp???) Williams, Leah Marian Jones, Stephen Rooke etc. The list goes on.
Not so long ago we had Margaret Price, Geraint Evans, Stuart Burrowes and Gwynyth Jones singing in every great opera house. Now there seems only Bryn Terfel of international stature. What happened ?
