Ramon Vargas is a wonderful, musical singer. I used to limit myself to the "biggies" such as Pavarotti, Bjoerling, Corelli etc., but I am so glad I have broadened my scope to include non-"legendary" voices.For, while a tenor like Ramon Vargas may not have the sheer natural vocal endowment to become a "legendary" tenor for the ages, he certainly has the ability in the here-and-now to sing with surpassing beauty and exquisite musicality. He gives these arias a freshness that is, well... refreshing!He also sings in a very self-effacing and humble manner-- being more interested in letting his voice serve the music rather than his own ego. This type of singing is, for my money, where it's at and you sometimes dont get it with the "legends", perhaps because they know they are "legendary"!Ramon Vargas sings purely and without artifice and it is moving. I will buy more of his CDs for sure. Buy and enjoy.
