Singers of the Paris Opera - Alain Vanzo - Italian Arias

Vanzo was destined to take on the major roles of the Italian repertoire, for which he posessed the right timbre and brilliance and all the technical means. At 28, he was offered the role of the Duke of Mantua at the Paris Opera opposite Rene Doria (when Italian works were sung in French).

In 1960 it was the crucial experience of Lucia di Lammermoor with Joan Sutherland in Paris and in London.
Many ot the recordings on this CD are available for the first time and continue to fill the discography of this brilliant French tenor.
