Came across this relatively new tenor:

Studied with Kraus. Can anyone tell? It is like watching a reincarnation, even the upper registers are very similar.

As Mr. Miyagi said: "different, but same"

I found this clip a long while back in fact. I can see a bit of resemblance, but this voice is not quite free; it is (quite beautifully, to be sure) nasalized.
The EE gives it away, but then you hear it in all the vowels except the EH (which is stunning, but still not quite as free as it could be). The lower register also ungathers the voice. Compare (constructively and with great humility and respect for both artists):

This is a hugely subjective comment, but I venture that Kraus felt his nasal port completely closed at all times on all vowels while Mr Gabaldon is singing largly into his nose. All great singers sound to me like they are pronouncing heady vowels from the throat (not throaty, but from the throat), there is not a trace of nose in them at all. This is not the case with many younger singers.

Celso Albelo is a similarly voiced singer, but with a totally Kraus-like non-nasal production as I've tried to define it above.

I will qualify this, since I am not into the bashing of young singers who have the balls to get up on stage and throw B-flats out into audiences with abandon. Gabaldon's voice is quite beautiful and I enjoy listening to him, not to mention that he looks a Werther.
