RICHARD TUCKER AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL- 1951

Here is a rare live broadcast featuring the great tenor Richard Tucker in an operatic concert at the Hollywood Bowl in 1951. Tucker is is his early prime, and sings with gleaming tone, and incredible "ring" and squillo. His first selection is the demanding Handel aria, "Sound an Alarm". It is quite amazing to hear a tenor with the size voice of Tucker to sing this music, with all it's leaps, runs, coloratura. Surely his cantorial training helped make this possible. All selections are announced.

This is an amazing document of great tenor singing, and I am sure you will enjoy it.
