Alfred Kraus Trujillo was born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in the Canary
Islands of Spain. His father was Austrian and his mother was
Spanish.......His older brother, Francisco Kraus Trujillo, a baritone,
studied music and opera alongside him.......He studied voice technique in
Milan with Mercedes Llopart.......snip

Could this explain his unusual vocalization?

What language is he singing in? Certainly not French, too crisp and heavy
on the rolled 'r'.
I know this was French, but his inflection is all wrong, it's too rhythmic
and like Italian/German/English. French is a smooth language with very
little inflection. His recit sounds way too Italian and just a little
like French.

Alfredo Kraus, singing the Pearl Fishers aria, is one of my all time
favorites.
