Very Best Of Alfredo Kraus Classical Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars The best liric tenor of all time.
The title pay a tribute to this man who was a very good singer, he knew his instrument very well, and he knew how to get the best sound out of it, to satisfied the audience, I have a very large coleccion of L'Ps, 33 rpms, from Montilla Records, a company for whom Kraus recorded for many years. I hope someday the will bring all this work on C'ds.
