I’ll pass, thank you. The mannerisms have become unbearable to hear or stomach.
If you want to hear this repertoire sung idiomatically with a properly trained voice then listen to Richard Tauber, or even better, Franz Voelker, rather than this cleverly marketed pretty boy:

…or for intelligence, technique and style – Gedda (who was unigue in his combination of all three assets)!
Yes, marketing – and the sickening thing is the average listerners’ lack of discern, ignorance, and suseptibility to manipulation.
Oh well, “Fake News” now means “alternative facts” – for some, anyway!
Oh his voice has miraculously come back. I hope the disappointed Tosca fans got their money back.
What a load of snide and jealous comments. If you cannot say anything more informative or interesting it would be far better to stay silent. I notice the same names on many occasions posting bitter and nasty comments, not only about Jonas Kaufmann, but otherartists too. You must be very sad people.
Or people who can tell the difference. Used to be known as “experienced, educated, knowledgeable and discerning.” It was — and still is — a good thing to aspire to.
No – only people who sincerely love and respect music (as opposed to simply marketed, glamorous “stars”…and where the artistry is present, you will undoubtedly find appropriate comments accordingly!
Good that he has a real conductor for a change!
Then why do they call him a “director”?
Adam Fischer is one of the worst conductors on this planet. No technique at all.
