Personally I think 'Beniamino Gigli' is closest tenor to Leroux Erik. (I also think swedish tenor Jussi Bjorling and french tenor Georges Thill are close tenor to Leroux Erik too.)

Gigli was perfect lyric tenor with honey-like sweet voice. Also, he sang Verdi's Otello (dramatic tenor's typical role) perfectly too.(+ To prevent misunderstanding: Opera Otello in Leroux's book is Rossini's opera Otello. Not Verdi's. Rossini's Otello is not dramatic tenor's role. But Leroux wrote Erik can sing like thunder, so I wrote about dramatic tenor's role.)

In addition, Gigli was italian tenor but he did huge success as Faust. And he was great Romeo. Of course, Gigli sang 'Rachel, quand du Seigneur' from french opera 'La Juive' greatly too.
