Replacements: In the Mehta Traviata with Dame Kiri te Kanawa and Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Jose Carreras was supposed to be the Alfredo. He dropped out, being in poor health, and Alfredo Kraus, that soul of youthful vigor who had already graced two recordings of the opera for EMI, was apparently the only tenor anyone could find. Therefore, he thus enjoys the unusual distinction of being the only Alfredo on disc (or perhaps anywhere) nearly twice his “father’s” age. https://youtube/watch?v=hykuvTU7LHk
