Peter Glossop
What was garnered from the Wiki page was that he was one of the only Englishmen to sing Verdi! Again another older singer with fantastic technique-- the video I found was of him singing Travatore! In which he fantastically demonstrates his vocal prowess and passion at some castle in Orange France in July 1972.
Though the video has a lot of the soprano singing, (Irina Arkhipova) he really shines in the role and fantastically carries himself on stage in a very relaxed appearance. He did seem a touch stiff, but then, anything is stiff in comparison to Geraint Evans. In my estimation, he was leaning a little forward during his singing, but that could just be his natural posture. He does have a HUGE neck, and a very commanding look. In general, his lines are quite full and vibrant. There is a passion in his eyes that make it impossible not to be entranced by his ability.
In this second video (sound) of Attila is done in Buenon Aires Teatre Colon, in 1966, he really shows off his high notes, and they are FANTASTIC. You can tell from listening that his breathing mechanisms really come together as he does a great job of producing a convincing line that doesn't seem to grow weak in its stream toward the end.
