Heldentenor

One of my all-time favorite singers is Jon Vickers. Unlike some tenors that you might hear, his voice was deep, rich, and quite powerful. As a music student, I listened to his recordings over and over again. Whose voice touches you powerfully?     (Photo from Video Artists International, vaimusic.com)
