Notes & Reviews:

Argentine tenor Marcelo Alvarez has spent the last decade establishing himself as one of the most sought-after tenors on major international opera stages. He is the choice tenor today for the most demanding roles by Verdi, Puccini, Massenet and others. For his Decca debut, Alvarez has chosen to focus exclusively on arias by Verdi, from the familiar 'Il Trovatore', 'Aida' and 'Otello' to the less well-known 'Ernani' and 'I Lombardi'. With elegance, power and undeniable passion, Alvarez displays why audiences consistently and loudly cheer at his performances.

BBC Music Magazine
Throughout, Álvarez offers open-hearted, open-throated vocalism, founded on impeccable breath control and a textural attention that binds the consonants carefully into the line. ... there's some fine caressing of the line (Ballo), immaculately shaped cantilena (Luisa Miller), impetuous heroism (thrilling in Trovatore) and an intelligent highlighting of the dramatic context throughout, but especially in Macbeth, Forza and Otello.
