Radiating warmth and energy - a master of seduction, a model of elegance, and a passionate and fearless performer - Mexican-born Rolando Villazón is the very embodiment of the Latin tenor. The four contrasting recitals in this box showcase the sweetness and brilliance of his voice and the sensitivity and power of his artistry: Italian arias, French arias and scenes, a mixed operatic programme, and a selection of zarzuela recorded with his model and mentor Plácido Domingo.
