To be quite frank, I don't for a moment classify him as a true Heldentenor - in a Wagnerian perspective he's more of a Mund than a Fried and not a big-voiced Mund either, but lovely sound nonetheless. Try him in some French Repertoire. Try him, try him, you may see! I confess also that much as I love this adopted country, my home of 16 years, I still have only a European Community passport, in lieu of there not ever having been a Scottish one - I also have some Scottish Chauvinism in me, though in real life I usually try to avoid other Scots. I don't know what to do with them... john
