Sir Thomas Allen – 2 Grieg Songs – BBC 1993

Sir Tom has always been a particular favorite of mine; I had the great pleasure of meeting him in 2001 when he was in New York City for performances of MEISTERSINGER in which he was a splendid Beckmesser. I’ve also greatly enjoyed him as Count Almaviva in NOZZE DI FIGARO and as the Music Master in ARIADNE AUF NAXOS; he also played an exceptionally moving and beautifully-sung Sharpless in MADAMA BUTTERFLY.
