Okay, Bostridge may not be as big as Vickers, sure...  but Pears was no
heavyweight either.  (And it WAS his role in the first place.) In fact,
to me, Bostridge seems struck out of the Pears mould...  Keen musicality,
intellect, penetration, and taste...  with a voice timbre rather
reminiscent of Pears...  but simply with a purer, sweeter, more refined
tone.
