Review 1:

Review of Irving Kolodin in the March 20, 1965 issue of the Saturday

Prevedi

The Metropolitan's new singer of the week was Bruno Prevedi, a tenor who is both young and Italian. For his debut as Cavaradossi, he provided a voice of promising quality and a more than average amount of substance, testifying, in part, to his origins as a baritone. He also has some oddities of production that result in a tendency to drag one tone into the next - it is more, even, than a "portamento" - in the range from F to B flat. He is reasonably musical and not bad-looking - all of which suggests that how far he goes depends on the extent to which he can consolidate his resources and make the better ones predominate, Dorothy Kirsten sang her practiced Tosca and Ettore Bastianini practiced his Scarpia. The conductor was Fausto Cleva.
