For the past decade the Peruvian tenor has earned ecstatic critical and public response internationally for a technical prowess and an authoritative style that must surely equal what the public would have heard from the greatest tenors more than 150 years ago. Flórez’s exhilarating vocalism, matched by a magnetic stage presence, has prompted major opera companies to revive many rare works especially for him.

 

This is a celebration of The Belcanto tenor of our times. JDF recently broke the 70-year old taboo at the Scala of repeating an aria as an encore (Feb Fille). This “Flórez and Friends” programme of bel canto excerpts gives further proof of Flórez’s supremacy in this repertoire. For Flórez, the disc is “really a treat because you have some of the finest artists of today - and I’m not talking about me! The opportunity to hear them all in one CD is wonderful. I’m proud that I’m singing here with great singers, great colleagues - great friends.”
