		Alfredo Kraus didn't have the biggest voice in the world, or the richest, or even the sweetest.
		Alfredo Kraus was born in Las Palmas in the Canary Islands on November 24, 1927.
		Kraus had all that, but he also had something Schipa lacked: a top extension that let him soar easily, and gloriously, to a top D. Vulgarity was never part of his vocabulary: for him, the high notes were simply part of a natural line, nothing worth special stress.

	A Tribute to Alfredo Kraus at the Teatro Real 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The echoes of the scandal that happened on the 7th at the celebration of the Gala de Reyes, devoted this year to a tribute to the tenor Alfredo Kraus, deceased on the past 10th of September, are taking time to quiet down.
		All this shower of criticism of a more political than artistical content induced Patricia Kraus, the tenor's daughter, to ask, in some declarations made for a radio broadcast, that this aborted event should not serve to "manipulate the figure of her father", while calling Luciano Pavarotti's conduct "not very dependable, and unprofessional".
		There they were, Carmen Oprisanu, Aquiles Machado, Alfredo Kraus's beloved pupil, Jaime Aragall, Elisabete Matos and Plácido Domingo, who had arrived shortly before from Rome, where he had been left in the lurch on the plane by Luciano Pavarotti in a gesture from the tenor from Modena that will be difficult to forget in Madrid.

	Zarzuela! Alfredo Kraus obituary
		Alfredo Kraus, whose death was announced yesterday, maintained a highly distinctive presence on the international opera circuit for over forty years.
		Kraus could be as ardent, warm-toned and passionate as any rival in either of the two generations that his career spanned.
		Like many of the very greatest singers, Kraus did not possess an unduly large voice, though it was distinctively burnished and bright, and impeccably projected.

	XXI Canary Islands' Music Festival
		The Auditorium of Las Palmas of Gran Canaria stations the city in the first light of the 21st Century and it is the development of a musical cult which received its name from one of the most magnificent tenors, that is to say, Alfredo Kraus.
		Because of this, the Symphonic Hall of the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium leanson a bow which faces the Atlantic and dances in front of the grandiose window behind the setting.
		What is more, in the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium there is the beautiful "Sala de Cámara" Hall which is, in a manner of speaking, intended for musical concerts of a more intimate nature.

		Tenor Alfredo Kraus had a long and illustrious career.
		Known for his elegance, smoothness of delivery, unfailing high notes, and equally unfailing musicianship, his not-particularly-Italianate tone could be off-putting for those who preferred their tenors robust.
		The audience reacts rapturously and Kraus looks as if he expects every minute of it, but we can't avoid the feeling that they're applauding the tenor rather than the renditions of the arias he's singing at that point in his career.

		Alfredo Kraus' Don Ottavio is very classy indeed; his many fans will surely need this set.
		Gundula Janowitz is an odd choice for Donna Anna since passion is one of the few emotions her silvery, fluttery sound is incapable of, but she can be very impressive in a foreign sort of way.

		When this recording was made, Alfredo Kraus was 65 years old and Kiri Te Kanawa was 48.
		Kraus even tossed in a High C at the end of, Oh mio rimorso, oh infamia.
		It is also a study for Sopranos in the technical aspects of Violetta, but not her passionate side.

	The Best Lyric Tenor?
		The recent tragic death of Alfredo Kraus, coupled with the impending end of the millennium, has resulted in some discussion of the lyric tenor of the century elsewhere on the Internet.
		There certainly are many candidates, and there is little doubt that Alfredo Kraus is one of the top contenders.
		Still, to me, at least, the contest is between the young Carreras, the young Pavarotti and Alfredo Kraus.

		Kraus, who was born on September 24, 1927 in the Canary Islands, was 60 at the time, and hardly less of fresh of voice than he was in the Così recording.
		Kraus was a lyric tenor who never sounded juvenile.
		This is an excellent compilation, and for those who are less familiar with Kraus than with the "Three Tenors," this might whet their appetite for more.

	Classical Voice News - The 'Lisbon TRAVIATA' mystery unraveled!
		The only regret was their precarious and muffled sound, which obscured the subtlety of Callas' interpretation, as well as Kraus' glorious vocalism.
		Taking into account that only RDP possessed the original tapes, the appearance of several unauthorized issues of the Lisbon Traviata raised the question of which source tapes were used by these versions.
		Therefore, it is conceivable that Alfredo Kraus or Mario Sereni were given copies of their performances under this practice, which eventually the artists might have entrusted to record companies.

		The record starts with the Kleinzach Legend aria from "Les Contes d'Hoffmann" in which Kraus shows his perfect pronunctiation and gives a shining high note at the end of the aria.
		In each and every one of the arias Kraus shows the best voice os his life, of a career lasting more than 40 years.
		That's why he is the best tenor of the last 50 years: He has avoided the extremes that has ruined every tenors voice, and has kept intact one of the most beautiful and complete voices of history, with perfect pronuctiation, extraordinary range (specialy in the acute) and complete feeling of every phrase he sings.
