This entry had become very bitty and disorganized, was missing much information about Carreras's life and career, lacked proper referencing, and contained some inappropriate or less than helpful links. Consequently, I have virtually re-written the article. I still need to expand the bibliography and make more internal links to other Misplaced Pages articles. Note that some phrases are taken verbatim from the Biography of José Carreras, which I authored and which appears on my web site and also on the web site with my permission.

==Josep vs. José==

I have just reverted an edit by ] which had removed all references to the subject's birth name - Josep (and changed the name of his father back to José as well). That edit even broke the links, because his official web site is indeed (The editor had changed it to .)

Carreras now uses his actual first name 'Josep' not only for his official web site as an artist but also for the web site of his in both its Spanish and Catalan versions. It is important that readers know both versions of the first name - his actual one (Josep), which he (and the Spanish language press) now increasingly use in public life, and the name by which he was known (and is still known outside Spain) as a performer (José).

The previous editor also removed all references to Carreras as being Catalan in addition to Spanish, despite the fact that he has often affirmed his identity as a Catalan in numerous interviews, and his own autobiography, and has also frequently been described as such, even in the English language press from the earliest days of his career until today, e.g.
*Davidson, E.: 'José Carreras', ''Opera News'' (published by The New York Metropolitan Opera), December 1972
*Riding, A: 'After Tragedy, an Ecstatic Aria; Barcelona's Opera Is Rising, Without Crossed Swords', ''The New York Times'', July 21, 1998
*'Jose Carreras: death blinked first' ''The Sunday Herald'' (Scotland), December 10, 2000

I hope that future editors will bear all this mind and not make wholesale edits of the type I have just reverted without raising them on the discussion page first.

The Hermosa Foundation

I have done some language editing based on my knowledge of the early connection of the three tenors. The formation of the HERMOSA foundation, behind the scenes, by Domingo, to help Carreras seems extrordinary (if they had political differences) though not entirely out of charater for Placido. Does anyone have a citation for this event? MarnetteD | Talk 04:38, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

The Hermosa story is entirely fictitious. The José Carreras International Leukemia Foundation has now issued this notice in English: https://www.fcarreras.org/eng/noticies2.php?id=64 and Spanish:

Erm, am I missing something?

Two days for a reason not to move this back to his actual name, instead of "Josep" Sherurcij 22:21, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

"Actual" name? His "actual" name is "Josep" not "José"...but nevermind... Dantadd 23:24, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Major Edit

This entry had become very bitty and disorganized, was missing much information about Carreras's life and career, lacked proper referencing, and contained some inappropriate or less than helpful links. Consequently, I have virtually re-written the article. I still need to expand the bibliography and make more internal links to other Misplaced Pages articles. Note that some phrases are taken verbatim from the Biography of José Carreras, which I authored and which appears on my web site Voce di Tenore and also on the Decca Classics web site with my permission.

Josep vs. José

I have just reverted an edit by Satesclop which had removed all references to the subject's birth name - Josep (and changed the name of his father back to José as well). That edit even broke the links, because his official web site is indeed www.josepcarreras.com (The editor had changed it to www.josecarreras.com.)

Carreras now uses his actual first name 'Josep' not only for his official web site as an artist but also for the web site of his leukemia foundationin both its Spanish and Catalan versions. It is important that readers know both versions of the first name - his actual one (Josep), which he (and the Spanish language press) now increasingly use in public life, and the name by which he was known (and is still known outside Spain) as a performer (José).
