These clips should be required viewing for voice students all over.
From Georges Bizet's opera, Les Pecheurs des Perles, here's the grandiloquent tenor-baritone duet, "Au fond du temple saint," between the excellent and elegant Alfredo Kraus and the lush baritone Barry McDaniel, recorded in the 1970s.
Notice the excellent tonal control in the tenor aria, Je crois entendre encore, a rapt mezzo piano in the key of A minor (I think), sustaining the delicate melody and investing it with just the right emotion, without even a single coarse or misplaced note.
