I have to say, though, that it was James Beddoe’s tenor that moved me most, both musically and dramatically: he made something really touching of Rodolfo’s Che gelida manina and Nemorino’s Una furtiva lagrima
Chris Kettle, Seen and heard international (2024)
James Beddoe is an imposingly urbane Don Ramiro… he is courageous and secure as the Prince’s melodies scale the heights, elegant of phrase and patrician of manner. There’s a beguiling smile in his voice too: no wonder Cinders is dazzled
