Eight tenors and 72 high C's in Fille du Reggiment aria:

   William Matteuzzi, Jose Sempere, Grayson Hirst,   Marcelo Alvarez, Roberto Alagna, Alfredo Kraus   Juan Diego Flores (pictured), Luciano Pavarotti

                            (50 minutes)

   I came across this lovely tenor on the internet. I am sure you   will absolutely THRILL to the sound of his voice, especially   the totally unique way in which he produces his top notes.

     I do recognize the aria as "Dein ist mein Ganzes Herz" from     Lehar's lovely operetta, "The Land of Smiles," but I am      having a slight problem figuring out  in what LANGUAGE     this most amazing dude is singing.

       ........and you thought YOU couldn't sing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
