		Terfel had needed only about five weeks to rebound from his first surgery; the second time, he needed more than five months of bed rest in the middle of a fully committed international performance schedule.
		Terfel was forced to cancel several engagements where he was the marquee star, among them a March appearance in Wagner's "The Flying Dutchman" at the Royal Opera in Covent Garden, London, and an April concert performance and recording of Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd" in New York.
		Terfel is fortunate: Neither his voice nor his career suffered in the half-year away from the opera stages.

		Terfel likes to say that as a singer "you are in the lap of the gods." He believes they gave him a perfect upbringing, in the shelter of a small North Wales village near Snowdonia.
		(Terfel is Bryn's middle name; another singer uses the name Bryn Jones.) What he learned at the eisteddfods was stage presence: "When I went to college I was streets ahead of others because I was used to facing the public." At London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama, he was awarded a scholarship.
		When Terfel emerged five years later, newly married to his childhood sweetheart and with a contract from the Welsh National Opera, he bought a house in Cardiff, thinking that he and his wife Lesley would spend their life there.

		Terfel credits these early eisteddfod competitions with his ability to project poetic ideas by the simplest vocal and theatrical means.
		Terfel has yet to make up his mind about his future and vacillates between globe trotting for big fees and hunkering down with a repertoire company like the Welsh National Opera, where the accent is on intense artistry and experimentation.

	BBC - Wales - Bryn Terfel biography
		Bryn Terfel's signature roles include Figaro in Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro and the title role in Verdi's Falstaff.
		Bryn Terfel was born near Caernarfon in rural North Wales in 1965, and was singing onstage at Eisteddfodau from the age of four.
		Terfel does not necessarily rely on big, throaty sounds that classical singers typically produce, as his voice is equally capable of lighter shadings.

		Bryn Terfel's voice is of incomparable beauty, sonorous as an organ, powerful as an orchestra, yet capable of infinite tenderness, warmth, and delicacy; his technique and breath control are infallible.
		Terfel has a wonderful sense of the German language and has a great understanding of how to sing it as well as to convey it through these songs.
		Bryn Terfel's vocal magnetism is present and there are some hair-raising moments, but on the whole there is not much to get excited about.

		While Bryn Terfel at twenty was a pleasant voice, he had not developed the depth of tone or the control of dynamics that mark his work today.
		Bryn's voice works well with this material (as does tenor John Eifion's) because it is the music of his heart, the songs of the mountains where he was raised, and where songs such as these are known by all.
		Bryn's solo efforts on the CD are also excellent...every bit of his voice and persona as we now know it is there in these 1984 to 1990 recordings.

		Surely one of the most beautiful baritone voices on the opera stage and in the recital hall today is that of Welshman Bryn Terfel.
		In recent years Bryn has been becoming a bit of a screamer in many of his live performances, and his lack of finesse is evident in the horrific opener, the Toreador aria from Carmen.
		Bryn Terfel is a singer whose voice has been touched by God.

		"Bryn Terfel is celebrated as one of the world’s great bass-baritones….The album’s 19 tracks feature Welsh traditional songs, folk songs, hymns and song settings of some of Wales’s finest poets, past and present.
		"Bryn Terfel recorded this collection of Schubert’s late songs…two years after bursting upon the international scene by winning the Lieder Prize at the 1989 Cardiff Singer of the World competition...[I]t’s good to have…this document of a young singer on his way to stardom.
		Though he recorded Schwanengesang while still in his 20s, there is no doubt of Terfel's empathetic feeling for these somber, dark, often bleak, despairing songs, written toward the end of Schubert's life in failing health and desperate circumstances...

		Bryn Terfel is one of those very few singers with gifts of talent that surpass just a wonderful voice.
		Terfel kept in touch with his family and old sweetheart back in Wales and continued to amaze his teachers at Guild Hall and managed to graduate from the famous school with their Gold Medal for Best Singer.
		Terfel has won many first prize awards, but perhaps the most notorious prize he has taken was second place behind Dmitri Hvorostovsky in Cardiff’s Singer of the World Competition (Terfel did take home the first place lieder prize).

		I think Terfel's voice is pretty decent and he sings both male/female lead R and H songs for a total of twenty cuts.
		However, in this RandH offering by Bryn Terfel, he proves that it is a perfect match between singer and repertoire for a classical crossover record of this pedigree.
		Terfel communicates the essence of each of the 20 songs to the listener, and allows them to sound fresh and new.

		Bryn Terfel, who used to play the servant Leporello until he moved up in the world, sang the title role and seemed oddly muffled and uncomfortable in the master's clothes, as if he had not quite found the character's core.
		Terfel attempted to explain Giovanni by filling him with rage and stripping him of any civilizing veneer.
		Terfel was at his best when he was seducing in his softest voice or when he was blaspheming, which, rather than sexual adventurism, is what gave the character its initial importance.
