Josep Maria Carreras i Coll (AKA Jose Carreras) is a tenor,
who in all frankness I had not heard of till the world cup "Italia
90" when he performed with Pavarotti and Domingo. This a concert which was
held in Rome at the same time the world cup was being played which perhaps is
the reason Carreras, Domingo and Pavarotti become known as the football tenors.
As for the concert, it basically was intended or at least originally; as a way
for Carreras's friends (Domingo and Pavarotti) to welcome him back to opera. Carreras
also showing a pleasant personality in these concerts as he and Pavarotti and
Domingo seemed to be the best of friends in what was a great atmosphere of
mutual admiration. After the concert in Rome, I started following Carreras's
career more carefully. Carreras definitely impressed me in La Boheme but
perhaps his greats role or at least in my opinion; was as Don Jose in Bizet's
"Carmen". It being in Poland
where I purchased a DVD of Carreras performing alongside the great New Zealand
soprano; Kiri Te Kanawa in Bernstein's "Westside Story".
Carreras, Domingo and Cole interpreting the classics of the
season in Vienna alongside the world renowned Vienna Children's Choir in a performance
which delightfully captured the joy of these songs and the season. Carreras
would go on to perform once again with Domingo and Pavarotti in both France 98
and Japan/South Korea 2002 as the Three Tenors. The France 98 concert seeing
The Three Tenors change conductors. This a most pleasant touch they added to
their concerts of singing songs of the country they performed in such as
"Waltzing Matilda" in their Australian concert. Domingo had performed
many Christmas concerts in Vienna in a series of concerts with Steven Mercurio
yet it was in 2000 that he, Carreras and Pavarotti gave a Christmas performance
as The Three Tenors. This being the concert in which Carreras sings the song
the Polish Christmas carol "Dormi, O Bambino" which he in fact does
sing in Polish; perhaps inspired by his Polish girlfriend. Carreras also being
a singer, who I remember once performing with Pavarotti and Domingo; just one
day after having had a fever of 40 degrees. The TAG Grand Carrera is an update
of their Carrera watch and is one of the most luxurious sporty watches on the
market. This watch is considered the high performance vehicle of watches as
this analogy works well because TAG Heuer also makes cars.
