 José Carreras   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
Spanish superstar tenor José Carreras -- the third of the famous "Three Tenors" (unquestionably the third; whether Pavarotti or Domingo is first is a more open question) -- made his return to Boston after 22 years.
The first real glimpse of the Carreras vocal gleam came in the sixth of only eight songs on the first half of the concert, Massenet's "Ouvre tes yeux bleus." Earlier, the voice seemed thin, dry, wavery -- the big high notes (not all that high) strangulated, the trills an embarrassing wobble.
Carreras is more appealing than engaging, a reticent communicator who conveys only the most generalized sense of the text (love, joy, sorrow), with little feel for the nuances of individual words and a small repertoire of gestures (hands clasped together, arms sprung out).

 dOc DVD Review: José Carreras Around the World (2002)
Carreras doesn't seem to be stretching himself much here; only on the Harry Belafonte song, Island in the Sun, does he even seem to be making an effort.
Most of the skin tones look fine, though Carreras is a ghastly yellow; that seems however be due to the lights or his illness and thus no points are deducted.
He touches on his battles with leukemia, the research foundation that he heads, and his relationship with his children, and really doesn't touch on the musical selections or his art much at all, and thus is fairly disappointing for music lovers.

Bio: One of contemporary opera's most celebrated figures, José Carreras was perhaps best known for his association with the Three Tenors, a distinction he shared with Luciano Pavarotti and Placido Domingo.
At university, Carreras studied chemistry with the intent of joining the family cosmetics company; he nevertheless continued his voice lessons, however, and after winning the International Verdi Singing competition in Parma, Italy, his fate as a performer was sealed.
In 1976, Carreras sang Verdi's Requiem at the Salzburg Easter Festival at the invitation of Herbert von Karajan; performances and recordings of various works followed, and over time the maestro and the tenor cultivated a remarkably strong artistic bond.

José Carreras is probably known to most people as a member of the 3 Tenors, which while demonstrating some of his talent does not do him justice at all.
The traditional tenor of days gone by such as Caruso or Gigli were limited to operatic performances because their training imposed diction which did not come across well in casual ballads, yet the modern tenor is far more versatile.

Jose shows that he is equally at home singing these types of songs as he is classical opera.
I admire Jose for his "crossover" offerings, but there is much more that I'd rather hear on disc than "Rose Marie" or "If I Loved You".In the phrase of "afraid and shy" Jose sounds like he is singing "a Frankenstein".
I own over forty Carreras CD's and probably will buy even more no matter what the works may be, but I'd rather have Jose offer works like Puccini's "Avanti urania" and Menti all'avvisio" and "sole amore".

Carreras sounds like he was born to sing "Something's Coming," "Maria," and "Tonight." Perhaps he was born to sing them in Spanish, but opera lovers regularly take bigger language problems than that in stride for the sake of vocal quality.
However, this remarkable difference you can feel between the sung and the spoken parts, is compensated by the exceptional general level of the recording (and by the fact that it is an only-audio-recording, so that you can listen to the music and concentrate on it, without taking care of the spoken dialogue).
Kiri Te Kanawa is a superlative Maria; Jose Carreras is a sensational Tony, singing the most gorgeous rendition of 'Maria' imaginable.
