It is sad to find such a good young voice produced with so much unevenness. Carlos Alvarez made his debut in 1990 and has been in demand ever since - Verdi baritones are scarce. His spirited declamation, bright top notes and fluent cadenzas are welcome, but too many notes are unsteady, and not much is done to differentiate characters.
