Bryn Terfel - Bad Boys

Bass-baritone Bryn Terfel is a towering figure in today's musical world
- both physically and artistically. Whether in the opera house or on the
recital stage, he blends his powerful, versatile voice with commanding
stage presence. Since bass-baritones are usually the "bad boys" in opera,
the Welsh singer has put together a program that portrays a gallery of
rogues and villains, the "demonic misfits and malcontents of this
wonderful music" (Bryn Terfel). The concert features Terfel in a number
of demonic roles, including two Satans (one by Gounod and one by
Boito), a murderous barber (Sondheim's Sweeney Todd), a swaggering
drug dealer (Gershwin's Sporting Life) and much more. He is
accompanied in this program - recorded at Cardiff's St. David's Hall in
his native Wales - by the Sinfonia Cymru under Gareth Jones.
