Jonas Kaufmann (born 10 July 1969) is a German operatic tenor. Although he has sung a variety of leading roles including both the Mozart and Wagner repertoire, he is particularly known for his performances in spinto roles such as Don José in Carmen, Cavaradossi in Tosca, Maurizio in Adriana Lecouvreur, and the title role in Don Carlos... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonas_Ka... Lyrics & English Translation Noble spirit, in whom is reflected, and in whose beautiful limbs, honest and dear, one can see all that nature and heaven can achieve within us, excelling any other work of beauty; graceful spirit, within whom one hopes and believes dwell - as they outwardly appear in your face - love, pity, mercy, things so rare and never found in beauty so truly; love takes me captive, and beauty binds me; pity and mercy with sweet glances fill my heart with strong hope. What law or power in the world, what cruelty of this time or of a time to come, could keep Death from sparing such a lovely face? A link to this wonderful artists personal Website: jonaskaufmann/en/
