Always a wonderful singer. I heard him in 1972 with the Bach Aria Group. He was 58 and still secure. Also a very nice man who signed many of my albums, adding insights into some of them. Truly an artist who was a lamplight for my own singing.
Positively criminal that Richard Lewis was not honored, knighted or popularly recognized in his lifetime. His exquisite tone with its dark elegance and the sublime execution of his vocal artistry puts Maestro Lewis in an elite class of tenors. Than you for this rare and priceless example of great singing, intelligent expression and profound characterization. Bravo!

La più bella interpretazione di tutti i tempi.
