I adore his singing. While known for his Verdi, Wagner and Britten, Vickers was outstanding in French and other ITalian repertoire. The VAI reissue of the great RCA aria record is among the most valued treasures in my collectin. And his singing of Don Jose in Carmen is without peer for me-- yes, I prefer him to Corelli, Bjoerling, Gedda and Domingo. Not to mention the rest of the cast, including Grace Bumbry and Mirelli Freni. He performed and recorded Carmen with Von Karakan and de Burgos and both are wonderful.
