Caio,

while I can't weigh in on the technical discussion being offered by
Tako and Lloyd, I have had the pleasure of hearing Mark Padmore sing
the lead role in Bach's St. John Passion several times this year at the
English National Opera (I was singing in the volunteer choir used by
the production). He has a very clear voice but it's a bit
metalic/forced in its quality. I'm not sure if his vocal production is
the most healthy (a bias I've picked up from my voice teacher, not
based on my own limited knowledge).

That being said, there are some absolutely lovely tenor arias in the
St. John's Passion and I wish I had the vocal equipment to sing them,
but that's not going to happen I fear.

Cheers,
Ingo
