LIVE FOR ST. MORITZ AWARD
Acknowledging the honour conferred by the St. Moritz Award, the gift-
ed tenor José Carreras will treat the audience at the gala evening in
Badrutt’s Palace Hotel, St. Moritz, on 19th March 2011, to a selection
sung from his repertoire.
In 1972, Ovation magazine described the voice of a young man making
his debut as Pinkerton in Madame Butterfly at the New York City Opera.
It was "a honeyed lyric tenor, richly colored, clear and true and possessing
a sensual beauty that is quite extraordinary." The young man
with the sensuously beautiful voice was José Carreras.
With his unmistakable voice and awe-inspiring opera performances he
soon found his way to collaborate with Plàcido Domingo and the late
Luciano Pavarotti in the 90’s up until 2003 in order to form the World’s
most famous singing trio, “The three Tenors”. In 1992 José Carreras
was engaged as Musical Director of the memorable Olympic Games
held in Barcelona.
José Carreras’ repertoire includes over sixty operas. Together with
his opera activities, he has given frequent recitals in the world’s most
famous halls - his wide concert repertoire includes over 600 titles of
the most diverse styles ranging from the baroque to contemporary music.
José Carreras’ extensive discography includes over 150 recordings,
notably 50 complete operas, oratories, popular and classical recitals.
He has been awarded many Gold and Platinum Discs world-wide.
