The enormous interest generated by Susan Boyle and Paul Potts (evidenced by Youtube viewings alone) is not so much for classical music but for the beauty of the human voice in flight. It is, then, perhaps timely to revive an interest in another unlikely hero of the voice, Tony Henry, with a review of his 2003 CD Modern Arias.

Tony Henry’s Background

Like Paul Potts and Susan Boyle, Henry comes from a humble background, his talent was recognized in a lucky break and he went on to achieve a certain amount of fame. In the Mail on Sunday, Katie Nicholl reveals that he was one of a family of five children raised in a Hertfordshire council estate.

He initially worked in a restaurant, went to London and trained as a singer and actor, and then took some singing gigs in the restaurant where he was heard by some record producers, who signed him. His successes include singing at Buckingham Palace, singing at the FA Cup Final and appearances at the Albert Hall.

The CD Modern Arias

Tony Henry’s first effort was a risky ‘cross-over’ offering: it certainly would not have satisfied opera lovers, may have thoroughly disenchanted pop fans, and yet would have won hearts among the present enormous following of Paul Potts and Susan Boyle.

Henry, aided and abetted by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, has devised a devilish scheme to bring opera to the masses. He has taken a strange mix of pop songs and rendered them in a brawny, extroverted operatic tenor style that transforms them and makes them near unrecognizable.
