Top Ten Tenors

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Kollo sang in Siegfried only; Jess Thomas (now there's a name no-one has mentioned) sang the role in Gotterdammerung in 1976

I'm not convinced. On the TV presentation, it was Kollo who entered wearing a dinner jacket in Gotterdammerung.

I was going by the Bayreuth Festival website which has a full performance history since 1951.

Puzzling. That would seem to be the definitive source, but I don't think my memory has deceived me.

Has anyone mentioned Gerald English?

A remarkable high voice. I believe he went to Australasia. His voice was ideally suited to the Pears/Britten repertoire.
I remember him singing in Rimsky Korsakov's "May Night" with the Welsh National Opera.

No but there is a terrific live performance of him singing the Serenade for Tenor,Horn and Strings with Barbirolli in Cologne now available on ICA Classics - with a thrilling Schubert 4 and another cracking Sibelius 2 thrown in for good measure.
