I must confess I have a sweet spot for Magdalena Kožená, who's utterly enchanting in this cantata:

Damn I'm awful at keeping track of these threads.
Yeah I like Villazón a lot, probably my favourite of the tenors performing at the moment I've heard, other than Domingo.
Bryn Terfel is excellent yeah, he's always performing in the UK, not had a chance to see him personally unfortunately. In general the tenor repertoire is my favourite though.

Monty, any chance you'd be willing to add "classical" to the topic title? It seems a shame to start another music lounge when these two areas are so closely related.
BTW, watching the Glynbourne Festival presentation of Fidelio tonight.
