Title: Jose Cura sings again without musicality
Review: What I don't understand is how anyone can enjoy this man's singing. THis CD is another rending of Mr. Cura's bad singing decisions. I guess he just doesn't study his roles. I saw him at La Scala in "La Forza del Destino" and I can say that his only redeeming quality is his presence, which was quite appropriate. His acting was ok as well. But when you compare him to the greats of before like Domingo, Corelli, Pavarotti, or Jon Vickers he just doesn't compare. He has lots of talent I would think, but it is raw talent and clearly he did not study long enough before he began his career. His musicality is also horrible, all his swooping and grunts are reprehensible. His voice is uneven, and he often sings with a false shadowing of his voice. I agree with the other reviewer when he states that he much prefers Ben Heppner and others. THey studied singing before they began performing.
Is the review positive or negative?
