Edgardo the Duke of Mantua, Federico, Werther, Des Grieux, Hoffmann, Romeo: the aroas of this Las Palmas recital are flashbacks of a career, of a style and an interpreter that were out of the ordinary.
At the age of 69 the voice of Alfred Kraus is unchanged; time has only dimmed a few notes. His still flawless technique and dedication to the repertoire, which he has built up and preserved with determination, allow him to tackle demanding pieces with results to absolute excellence.
