[ Decca Most Wanted Recitals Vol. 6 / CD ]
Release Date: Sunday 16 October 2016
" . . . José Carreras is certainly caught in his prime in his two collections . . . [offering worthwhile rarities] in what is surely some of the most sheerly beautiful tenor singing from its period . . .
BBC Music Magazine
" . . . a thrillingly urgent, flowing performance . . . Carrera's dulcet delivery of the last two lines [of "Una furtiva lagrima"] is admirable . . . [two Rossini pieces are] fittingly interpreted and [the] aria ringing." International Record Review
