Title: Poor technique
Review: The singing documented on this recording, the debut recording of Russell Watson, is riddled with technical imperfections. It should be immediately clear to all that the voice or Mr Watson has insufficient amplitude and a rather narrow range. The quality of the tone is uneven, and the voice sounds especially strident on the top of the range. Mr Watson can't even sustain certain notes properly or securely. Breath control is a severe problem to Mr Watson, too, as he has to chop up musical phrases from time to time to snatch some breath. Many of such technical problems don't even exist in decent pop singers, let alone classically trained ones. I believe Mr Watson should take more singing lessons first than to rashly parade his many inadequacies on commerical recordings.
