Last October in Oberto at the Parma Verdi Festival and last month in I Lombardi at San Carlo. He's of the good - or bad depending on your point of view - old school Italian tenor.

Not much subtlety but at times a very exciting sound.Willymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652532356102638621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370742521301499135.post-36133114080093816812008-06-16T20:51:00.000+03:002008-06-16T20:51:00.000+03:00Parsi, thanks for the welcome :)Seems Farina is no...Parsi, thanks for the welcome :)<BR/><BR/>Seems Farina is not having a good season...I didn't like the Nessum Dorma you posted at all (perhaps this is due to that I have been listening to a fantastic Kraus' version of this aria for the last 4weeks in my mp3 reproductor...)poltergeisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082681471852194963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370742521301499135.post-22872363976257121512008-06-16T17:52:00.000+03:002008-06-16T17:52:00.000+03:00"Franco FARINA kämpft als Infant hingegen ständig ..."Franco FARINA kämpft als Infant hingegen ständig um den Sitz seines relativ großen Tenors, er klingt vor allem in den ziemlich tremolierenden Höhen schon „ausgeleiert“.
