I think he'll go down as one of the best tenors ever and justifiably so. Quite a person and what a voice and he knew how to use it! RIP Luciano!
If you don't already have it, get the Decca (London) recording of him in the William Tell. One can debate the Muti recording on Philips being a better musical performance, but on this Luciano's voice is glorious.
