[edit] Future Appearances??

I have removed the sentence "The artist makes his Carnegie Hall debut on December 1, 2006, in recital." which had simply been appended to the Biography on 24 October 2006 (editor unknown). This is time-sensitive which should be avoided (the recital hasn't happened yet), was a non-sequitur following as it did a discussion Flórez's technique and voice type, and seems like commercial promotion (even if it was perhaps not intended to be). This article in particular has several external links to the artist's official schedule, making individual announcements about upcoming appearances superfluous and distracting. Does Wikipedia have a policy on this? Voceditenore 11:15, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Samples

Somebody upload samples of him going through this passaggio with ease and brilliance into his head voice or i'm deleting the paragraph--I'll bring the food (Talk - Contribs - My Watchlist) 02:36, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re Samples

To 'I'll bring the food': This would violate copyright. If you want to hear for yourself how he negotiates the passaggio in 'Una furtiva lagrima' go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV73hCD0tZI Voceditenore 18:14, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I have also added 2 citations concerning Florez and the passaggio. In addition, this quality of his voice was discussed at length by Edward Seckerson in the BBC Radio 3 programme Stage and Screen, broadcast on 22 January 2007.Voceditenore 18:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually a sample of up to 30 seconds is totally permissable by law.--I'll bring the food (Talk - Contribs - My Watchlist) 19:20, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

He navigates it well, if you're a believer in full voice in head, and not just the idea that a tenor can belt fairly high in chest because of their voice type.--I'll bring the food (Talk - Contribs - My Watchlist) 19:29, 29 January 2007 (UTC) But you've got to love how low his larynx is. Now that's technique.--I'll bring the food (Talk - Contribs - My Watchlist) 19:30, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
