Simándy100 - Big Tenor Show - on the Birthday of The Great Tenor
Tenors are, of course, the luckiest singers. Their job is also probably the most difficult, and it is no coincidence that only a few of them become privileged with world fame or that composers set aside their most beautiful melodies for them. Now, the 100th anniversary of the birth of towering and legendary Hungarian tenor József Simándy is bringing the best Hungarian singers and the greatest active tenor stars of our era to the stage of the Erkel Theatre. Rafael Rojas will join eight Hungarian singers to pay homage to Simándy’s truly pivotal life's work, which remains a model even today. Over the course of the gala event, photographs and restored film clips both well known and seldom seen will be shown to help evoke Simandy's pivotal career, which remains exemplary to this day.

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
