Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
I already saw it a few weeks ago.
Thrilling!!
He was lip synching Caruso, from a tape.
Yes, it is thrilling since it was unexpected. But his talent had been recognized years ago by the opera company of Bath, England.
Also amazing is this from IMHO his main competition, 6-yr-old Connie Talbot. And this: she has excellent mout6h position and pitch command, plus the final phrase has some technically nontrivial chromatic steps! Also see how Simon Cowell “savages” her at the end, whew!
This Daily Express article “Junior Geniuses” leads with her and also mentions chess briefly.
I saw this clip before, amazing! It sent chills up my spine.
Fantastic! and also wonderful that talent of this type – a man signing opera rather than pop – is recognized and appreciated by so many!
Bravo!
