Jesús León’s first album with Rubicon Classics is a collection of timeless songs that have become synonymous with many of the greatest tenors of the past; Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras among them. These songs have held a great significance to him, being a profound part of his childhood where he put together renditions of them for piano and guitar. Every song bears a unique character which each carry a musical memory.
Recording Passione by Valente with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Toby Purser Conducting.
“The role of Arnold Melcthal was played by Mexican tenor Jesús León whose high C thrilled the audience..”
Since Jesus Leon has the better cards as Elvino. As a top-class tenore di grazia, as he stands in Büchl, the Mexican gives a lesson in bel canto. In addition, as a success-spoiled and at the same time enormously unsettled village snob, he is able to forcefully add himself to the panopticon of a self-righteous hermetic village society.
