My Take

What draws me to Ildebrando D'Arcangelo is his quiet insistence on the term basso cantabile over the usual bass-baritone label. That preference tells you everything: he cares about line and warmth, not just the floor-shaking power people expect from low voices. Born in Pescara in 1969 and honored as an Austrian Kammersaenger, he has the credentials, but I'd rather judge a singer by how he phrases a Mozart aria than by his resume. I suspect his real appeal lies in that elegant, lyrical legato. He strikes me as a craftsman who lets the voice, not the titles, do the persuading.
