Edmund Barham: Stylish dramatic tenor
British dramatic tenors do not exactly grow on trees. If Edmund Barham had been as good an actor as he was a singer, he would have been a genuine operatic star of the first magnitude. As it was, he progressed in 15 years from Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni and Almaviva in The Barber of Seville with Opera for All, to such Verdi roles as Don Alvaro in The Force of Destiny for English National Opera; he even sang Otello, though not, unfortunately, in London. He had a fine ringing voice with splendid top notes, superb English diction and stylish phrasing.
