Amazon.com: Tito Beltran is a young South American tenor who seems to be on his way to an international career. His sound is warm and bright and his top notes secure. Beltran can occasionally lack imagination (so can most tenors, then again), but his singing is of a consistently high quality. On this CD, he sings music associated with films--many of which featured Mario Lanza, whom Beltran imitates chillingly in the first few selections--and is pretty impressive. The duet from Bizet's The Pearl Fishers was featured in Gallipoli and is always a pleasure to hear. As a finale, Beltran sings the theme from Titanic in Spanish and by so doing exorcises some of the Celine Dion memories, for which we shall always be grateful. And wait 'til you hear what key he sings it in--all the way up to repeated high Cs! This CD is a treat for opera lovers and movie lovers alike. --Robert Levine
