"Mr. Trussel is a consumate, dynamic performer whom I've had the pleasure of seeing & hearing perform at Covent Garden in London. This Cd is an exquisite experience. Here, his voice is as glorious as it is live. This cd will make you want to see and hear him live. The repertoire is a vast spectrum, ranging from the tormented music of Don Jose in Bizet's Carmen to the triumphant music of Siegmund in Wagner's Die Walkure. There is music from Montemezzi, Verdi, Strauss, Weber, Barber, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Lee Hoiby "Tempest" (a role that was written for Mr. Trussel and premiered by him). This Cd is an exciting combination of music that isn't recorded very often. And it is all sung with great passion and a full, beautiful tenor voice. The Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra is both robust and delicate, when need be.Thank god, A REAL TENOR!!!This is a rare find and something worth checking out."

First rate Dramatic Tenor of the old school

"This wonderful singer is from "the old school" of singing. A very exciting heroic voice. There a few dramatic tenors in the world today and too few recordings of these great opera arias sung by large voices. Jacque Trussel, is indeed a great tenor, I will tell all my friends and students to buy the wonderful recording. Bravo Divo!"
