Great voice

Great voice.

I saw him sing this complete role in Chicago, and in this aria his applause was tremendous and well deserved. He was an Illinois native and a wonderful Lyric tenor. RIP.

Sento per la prima volta il famoso duetto eseguito dal mio tenore preferito. Io conoscevo l'esecuzione con il grande baritono russo Dimitri Horostowskj e il tenore Jonas kaufmann...adesso non so quale preferire😂 Tutti bravissimi ❤❤😂

The genius of a kinder gentler time brought to us through the talent of the performers. They required the raw material to work with and thankfully Kern and Hammerstein gave them just that.

Bravissimo❤

Two of the greatest American singers of their generation!! Just beautiful!

Das konnte er auch: DEUTSCHES LIED....

An American phenomenon. 👏 RIP, Mr. Hadley may God heal your wounds. 🙏

They sing so passionately. Joyous to hear them together.

Wonderful tenor !

Zampieri sometimes sings badly and other times horribly, I have never understood how he had an international career.

In tears. Unparalleled singing.

Any further comments would be pointless.

Besser kann man das nicht singen!

Unique singer!!! A musical genius!!! Incredible!!!! Out of this world!!!!

I used to listen to this historic 1988 recording of Showboat all day long, constantly. Remember the Walkman? It's just magnificent and was the soundtrack to my NYC life for a while. I also got the CD. They followed the original libretto and featured film/TV actors like Nancy Kulp and Eddie Bracken (Cap'n Andy!), too. And don't forget the great, the breathtaking, Teresa Stratas as Julie. Extraordinary and sublime. It even opened up a rare dialogue between me and my taciturn father. Turns out "Old Man River" was his favorite song. A few years later, I had the organist at his funeral play it for the recessional. Thanks so much for uploading this interview! RUclips at its finest.

Masterful stuff

crying. Thank you Jerry

Hadley memorabile.

What a great tenor: this voice, this technique, the change of piano & forte, his articulation - you can understand every word...

This for me is a CANTO lesson.❤❤❤

What a great singer - better: great artist

Не успел дорасти.

Al lado de Mario Lanza parecen niños aprendiendo a cantar…

Frederick’s was always the BEST Cherubino of Mozart and both are so excellent in this program. How lucky we were to hear them.

What a wonderful talent so tragically ended. He is sorely missed! RIP.

Thank you, Virginia!!! What a find. I truly am appreciative!!

So easy-flowing, caressing voice! Love it.

Most magnificent voices in America together on stage singing American songbook.

What a treat to see and hear them together, they make beautiful music.

This a quartet from Kismet two men two women but workwell as a duet Hadley oh my, a beautiful lyric tenor I’ve only just found. Thank you, you tube. Hamptson as expressive as ever but I agree a meatier baritone would have made a better contrast. I sang the Caliphs part in 1964 in Keighley Good memories.

A beautiful version of this seldom performed wonderful song.

Was this from a full concert version of Candide? Full performance available?

¡Què belleza!!!

Wonderful voice. RIP Maestro.

What a beautiful voice Mr Hadley possessed;What a terrible shame that his life was cut short far too early. Miss Jones sang wonderfully as well.There were so many beautiful American operettas composed in the early teens and twenties of the previous century that will last forever thanks to singers of this calibre, and for me, to the legendary Jeanette Macdonald and Nelson Eddy who introduced many of these wonderful melodies to millions of people with their wonderful singing,although not this particular tune.

Absolutely magnificent, Jerry Hadley at one of his best performances. Chapeau!

Wonderful! Frederica von Stade is still a surprise! Viele Grüße from the Münstwerland in Northwestern Germany, Bernd.

It tells me he is a person like us.

lovely pianissimo on those last high notes.

❤❤❤❤

I'm trying to remember something - I saw him sing Werther at NYCO in the mid 1980s and we knew we had witnessed an amazing performance - as well as one could at that horrid theater - and he got major good reviews for those performances and then he was called to make his Met debut a few days/weeks early to sub in as des Grieux in Manon at the Met because Leech or someone had cancelled and then my friend and I got there for standing room. How did we even find this out - before social media and such? That's what I'm trying to remember. Because we made it for his debut at the Met.

Hear the trombones!!

He has a very beatiful tenor voice ❤❤

What a loss!

Maddalena doesn’t sound like Elena Obraztsova.

Beautiful!

Just beautiful!

I pick this for an audition... (German song obligatory) I hope I get it done..... I don't speak German haha
