"I loved him.  He was the most real of all the tenors," said Richard Bonynge.  "There was nothing phony about his performances. Something always happened when he was onstage. You could believe in him utterly, apart from the fact that the voice itself was very, very beautiful.  It had a quality that touched the heart, and you were never conscious of technique or anything.  It was a very big lyric voice. But really lyric - very sort of silvery, but round, and affecting.  It got to you."
