A few short months ago, I was scarcely acquainted with this English baritone; now, after equally dazzling performances as the Count in René Jacobs’s Le nozze di Figaro and in this Sea Symphony, he has acquired in my ears a supreme status among his colleagues anywhere in the world…”

Well said. I could say I have learned about Simon Keenlyside´s qualities on the 27th of March 2010 (yes, MET´s Hamlet), and I can´t help looking for his recordings:-))), my collection has grown quite big after these three months. He is currently my most favourite singer or, maybe, he shares my number one position with Jose Carreras :-)))
