"Cura threw himself into his roles; he hurled himself at the hearts of his audience. He might just have been the inventor of the large screen so that not a single glance gets sent out in vain. He has preserved for himself the heart of a child, he told an interviewer, and because of that, he slips into his characters totally and completely."

 

"Cura's voice explodes like a volcano. If this, his indisputably God-given gift, which he uses lavishly, were ever to give out, Cura has the ability to conduct, compose, or become an opera house director. The man possesses many talents."
