4.0 out of 5 stars Promise, Jul 12 2004

By	iohn o sullivan (Kells Co. M eath,Ireland.) - See all my reviews

If this fellow lives up to his promise God alone knows where he is going. On first hearing I thought I was listening to McCormack as he must have sounded at that age. In listening to tenors for over fifty years that is the first time anyone has so reminded me. I just cannot wait to hear him in Handel and Mozart and please, a little bit of Franz Peter now and again, if that is not too much to ask

5.0 out of 5 stars A New Star Is Born, Jun 2 2004

By	Norman Jones (London, UK) - See all my reviews

After the sensational debuts at various opera houses in the both Europe and USA, comes the debut solo recital album of the young maltese tenor Joseph Calleja. Many of the items on this disc are from operas Calleja has already sung on stage. His voice is lyrical, Italiante and surprisingly mature for such a young age. He is also a versatile tenor - Calleja colors each aria with an individual mood according to the character he portrays. Macduff's aria 'Ah, la paterna mano' brought tears to my eyes. Another touching aria is Federico's lament from L'Arlesiana.
I am looking forward for more albums from Calleja.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grand tenor singing in the old style, Jun 1 2004

By	Nicholas Edwards (Belchertown, MA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Hearing some of this on my local NPR station, I really thought for a moment that I was hearing one of Jussi Bjorling's later recordings! As with Bjorling, the control and the phrasing are
powerful - every choice Calleja makes is dramatically cogent. He's certainly one of the best new tenors I've heard in quite some time. The accompaniment is equally fine - Chailly, of course, is first and foremost an opera conductor par excellence
(if you've not heard his "William Tell" with Pavarotti, I can't praise and recommend it highly enough), and his work here - especially in the Verdi - is lean, supple, and idomatic. A superb disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mesmerising Performance
The sheer power and beauty of Calleja's voice is astonishing. In each number,the young tenor demonstrates his versatility as a lyric tenor - a virile Italiante tone. Read more
