Excerpt--- As Tannhauser, the minstrel knight torn between sensuality and spirituality, Gambill left no doubt as to why this is his signature role. The strapping, 6-foot-2 tenor has made it his own. His Tannhauser is a soldier in the sexual revolution, struggling to unite the warring parts of his psyche. Though his vibrato was a bit wide in loud passages, his tone was bracingly robust, even during tumultuous passages in the Hall of Song.
