Martin Muehle - in his own words:

Now that Kaufmann's lost the 'juice' in his voice...
I never heard of Martin Muehle (born in 1969) since I read, on an English magazine, a praising review about him in a DVD of a performance of Cilea Adriana Lecovreur in Florence (conducted by Daniel Harding).
Muehle will sing next April in my city in Puccini's Le Villi (a much neglected opera itself).
There is a Naxos DVD of "Adriana Lecouvreur" with Martin Mühle (a splendid staging!), conducted by Daniel Harding and a cpo CD of Zandonai's "Francesca da Rimini" conducted by Fabrice Bollon.
A really beautiful and cultivated voice!
("Francesca" is one of my favourite Italian operas :-)
Glad to know that you too rate him highly, Adriano.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful thing. I will enjoy this DVD carefully in the future.
