Latest news in the British press, Times online, where I found somehow what I was expecting, some kind of real thoughts of the artist himself about his new album "Tenor"
-----And so to Popstar to Operastar. Was it just a bitter pill to swallow, a crafty way of relaunching the newly recovered Rolando? Unlikely, though Villazón’s record label did capitalise on the interest in him by releasing an album of favourite classics, entitled, unimaginatively, Tenor. “I’ve done things I don’t like to do for promotion reasons, and I don’t want to do that any more.

This is great to know he will stop this kind of easy promotion and is fair play towards his audience to say so. He is writing a novel, this is fantastic news and I have often thought he will do it.

Well, now I must get ready for his real come back on stage: Munich 22nd, then his London recital, at last Paris, where I will actually see him after all these months of waiting.
Proust who is the finest analyst of passions wrote in details how Swann realised after long sufferings that Odette was not his type.
I often think that the type of passion I feel for voices is somehow like that, and that I was becoming objective...This article shows some deep insights which reassure me. Tenor is not a valuable album for the artist himself. well, that's it!'easy promotion'!
Bing, as always has got a lot to sing about that, in music, as always!
Someday sweetheart you may be sorry for what you have done to my poor heart....
