My old sparring partner Don Satz writes of Ian Bostridge: >I consider him the leading current tenor in the world. Some years ago, while I was living in Scotland, I heard him in the Australian Opera production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at the Edinburgh Festival, and a few weeks later I sat in the Tramway in Glasgow, only a few feet away from him as he sang the Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings. Since those two performances, I have not doubted that he is a very exceptional singer, and a very fine musician as well. He deserves far greater recognition, and I expect that he will eventually get it. Ian Crisp [log in to unmask]
