Yup, that's right. Whether you like or not he has reached out to millions of people who ordinarily would not listen to classical music. He has de facto taken over the enviable post that Luciano Pavarotti enjoyed as the best tenor of the classical music genre. Here's the classical music website that you can listen to on line from the San Francisco Bay Area: http://www.kdfc.com. Pavarotti was good. But for my taste he was rather showy given that he had a large frame and an undeniable strong voice. OTOH, Boccelli uses some very subtle nuances in his singing, particularly in his rendition of several Spanish standards in one of his recent recordings. Regards, JR
