From One Tenor to Another

Got a comment on one of my earlier posts which I'll paste here:

***********************

I just returned home from opening night of Il Barbiere Di Siviglia at the Lyric Opera Chicago and John Osborn was amazing. I have seen Juan live before and this guy named John Osborn blew me away. I don't like to put one against the other, but i will say i was very impressed with Johns voice. A bit richer than jdf's voice and his voices is equally good. In some parts of the opera i actually like johns voice better. Totally caught me of guard. And yes he did sing "o cessa di pui resitere. It is a ten minute aria that is usually left out of the opera. John made it look easy. It was amazing. To all you opera fans you must seek this guy out. Completely amazing tenor voice. Joel Bjoerling,tenor p.s. Please put up a music page on myspace or some venue so we can hear more.
