Saw him Tosca around 1991 in Barcelona with Eva Marton and Milnes. The audience went crazy for him. The least known tenor from Spain. For my money he was the best.
Pavarotti said that when he was coming up that there were three great young tenors: himself, Domingo and Aragall; and that Aragall was probably the best of the bunch.
I've loved Aragall since the early 80's when I read about him in some opera mag. I sent away over seas for an LP of his and have been a fan ever since. He is 85 now and I wish him well and hope he knows how much he is loved and respected.
He's still alive and kicking, though! He´s my uncle, and though retired, I'd prefer not to see people talk about him in the past form. That day will come, but not yet!!
@@marisamenendez7875 well, I'm very glad that your uncle is alive and well and I certainly meant no disrespect by referring to his "past" singing career but thankfully, we do have these recordings to enjoy. I hope your uncle is enjoying this phase of his private life.
Un incanto. Ma guarda se doveva soffrire di depressione e nervosismo. E' come se la natura dicesse: a te ho già dato troppo, quindi adesso ti tolgo qualcosa. Mi rattrista molto che abbia sofferto così tanto quando sarebbe dovuto essere l'uomo più felice del mondo per quella voce straordinaria... e anche l'aspetto, che non guasta mai !!
Wondrous Jaume or 'Giacomo' Aragall, his voice was irresistibly pure, clear and full. One of the great artists that made it look easy but his phrasing, the way he takes his time to squeeze a little more understanding of what he is saying, is simply beautiful. He was understated, did not showboat, just had absolute, classical singing integrity which actually provokes a deeper reaction in the listener. He did not need to show off, simply open that golden larynx and make the angels smile.
@@shirleyrombough8173 True. I love Pavarotti and domingo's singing in 1980 and before. Carreras sounded like GDS with open handsome tone, great performer too. But at the time of 3 tenors, it was the worse time for all in case of voice.
I agree! It really is a shame his nerves got in the way of what could have been a much greater career. On the other hand, Aragall sang in all the great opera houses in the world and retired with his voice in tact. a true class act!!! :)
What a beautiful voice!!! My top-4 tenors with the most beautiful timbres, powerful voices and touching, soulful acting skills: Flaviano Labo, Jaume Aragall, Francisco Araiza, Alain Vanzo.
tante volte ho ascoltato Aragall( la prima volta nel 1970 o 1971) a teatro per mia grande fortuna.Si perche' la sua voce dal vivo era ben altro.La voce di Aragall era di una bellezza metafisica e conturbante,in disco simile a quella di Di Stefano.Ma a teatro suonavano in maniera molto differente ed e' stata una gioia grandissima averli ascoltati entrambi.

I can't believe I never heard of Jaime Aragall until I listened to him perform the role of Turiddu in "Cavalleria Rusticana" with the New Jersey State Opera under the direction of Alfredo Silipigni ... I used to be a member of that opera company, and I "discovered" his glorious voice quite by accident. In my opinion, he is as good as the three tenors!
Jaume was acknowledged by Pavarotti, Carreras and Domingo to be the greatest. Watch the Barcelona Games opening ceremony to hear Jaume singing and Carreras and Domingo sound like amateurs !!
Oh no, don't tell me you saw him in Cavalleria Rusticana. I would love to have heard him in that opera. I would love to find a recording or a video of him singing Turiddu. How fortunate you were.
@@e.g.8454 E Giacomo Aragall sempre ha detto che ammira moltíssimo Gigli! Penso che ciascuna volta che ha avuto l'opportunità d'esprimer-lo così, lo ha fatto.
Jaume Aragall is a new discovery for me. A great tenor, his voice is like a smooth velvety liqueur and has the same effect. His voice is very strong yet with a wonderful melodic quality. He is a good actor also and comes across as completely real and human in this clip from La Boheme. A beautiful voice indeed. Thanks for uploading this video and thanks to RUclips for enabling us to hear these wonderful performances.
Hasta Charlotte se ha quedado embobada con su canto ...preciso y precioso ...haciendo gala de un buen francés...matices...gran fiato y capacidad enorme de apianar sonidos ....era buenísimo ese tenor.
Che bellezza voce! Sono d'accordo Daniele. Aragall is a wonderful tenor who was overshadowed(unfairly) by his contemporaries such as Carreras,Domingo and Pavarotti. Personally,I have always preferred Aragall's sweet,lyric voice to Carreras and Domingo but not Luciano. Tante grazie for sharing this fine piece with us.
Franco Corelli is Rodolfo Pollione Macduff Don Carlo Poliuto Dick Johnson Canio Don José Turiddu Cavaradossi Calaf Manrico Radames Don Alvaro Chenier Raoul di Nangis Ugonotti.
@@1UShawn The world wanted Pavarotti to be loudest Calaf. He is a humble being in deed. Jaume maybe the top lyric male voice together with GDS. Finest.
Pavarotti est tellement surfait. Il y a tellement de chanteurs bien au dessus de lui Vive l'époque où la presse choisi sans tenir compte de la satisfaction du public
Shutting my eyes for a moment or two, I thought I was listening to a young Pavarotti. A marevlous rendition of this great aria though I thought the high C was not on par with the rest of his performance or that of the other greats.
I tried to find rehearsal with Virginia Zeani. Is there somebody with a big heart , who can share it with me??? Here on youtube was a full opera recording ,but it doesn't exist anymore.
Pavarotti, Kraus, Domingo...coinciden en señalar a J. Aragall, como la voz más bonita del siglo XX. El problema, es que era muy nervioso. Lo mismo ocurría con Corelli. Según Lauri Volpi, el mejor de la historia fue Miguel Fleta.
Se lo dicono i due tenori overrated del ventesimo secolo ossia Pavarotti e Domingo poi.. di voci belle ce ne sono state tante e anche migliori a partire da Gigli Di Stefano Corelli Del Monaco Masini Tagliavini Bjorling Tucker Prevedi e via discorrendo.
Canta con mucha naturalidad y su voz muy bien timbrada y bella aunque no me gusta como el fraseo se desmaya a veces,como pasa con Caballe.Un gran tenor
Saw him Tosca around 1991 in Barcelona with Eva Marton and Milnes. The audience went crazy for him. The least known tenor from Spain. For my money he was the best.
Aragall es Mario Cavaradossi, el mejor.
El tenor de la voz mas hermosa de la lirica de su generacion.
Pavarotti said that when he was coming up that there were three great young tenors: himself, Domingo and Aragall; and that Aragall was probably the best of the bunch.
Por modestia
Exactly, I also saw the interview. He said that Aragall was the most talented.
La bellísima y única voz de Aragall llega al alma es una emoción absoluta tan Pura tan profunda !Gracias Jaime !!
I cannot believe that I am finding this tenor just now! I have never heard such elegancy before.
I've loved Aragall since the early 80's when I read about him in some opera mag. I sent away over seas for an LP of his and have been a fan ever since. He is 85 now and I wish him well and hope he knows how much he is loved and respected.
Truly a great underrated tenor for history! Silver high notes ringing and emotive!
Aragall was truly one of the most highly-underrated beautiful voices of the 20th century.
He was the best
I agree
He's still alive and kicking, though! He´s my uncle, and though retired, I'd prefer not to see people talk about him in the past form. That day will come, but not yet!!

One of the best tenors of all times. Strong and clear voice

He is singing in the original key in a live performance - lots of other tenors transposed it down by a half-step.....

How ironic, people still going for 3 tenors. This man is so organic and so gorgeous, way stronger than any of the 3.
@@道-p2e I think the three are pretty wonderful but Aragall deserves to be right up there with them.

Beautiful. One of the best, if not the best, tenor voices in the latter part of the 20 th century. Underrated.

He was the tenors - tenor. Two Thumbs Up!
Supple, secure, and beautiful. In my Pleiades of tenors.

I am not sure, but there are more than three tenors in the world.

Oh no, don't tell me you saw him in Cavalleria Rusticana. I would love to have heard him in that opera. I would love to find a recording or a video of him singing Turiddu. How fortunate you were.
la voz natural mas bonita de la historia
L'unico, vero tenore lirico ancora oggi irraggiungibile!
Il più grande tenore lirico di sempre stato Beniamino Gigli.
@@e.g.8454 E Giacomo Aragall sempre ha detto che ammira moltíssimo Gigli! Penso che ciascuna volta che ha avuto l'opportunità d'esprimer-lo così, lo ha fatto.
La voz de Aragall es más bonita que la de Gigli.
Great singer. Great technique
solo escuchar Che gelida manina por j. aragall.. la voz ya tiene un sonido inigualable!! el timbre mas hermoso de todos los tenores y con diferencia!
Una de las mejores interpretaciones que he oído de este Aria.
Una magnifica veu. Una entranyable persona
Esta Boheme...que gran voz la de Aragall
Es que no se puede cantar mejor..... para escucharlo de rodillas
Thanks for posting this gem - a most wonderful voice - yes, not surprising she fell in love with him
Aragall was defo one of the best. Effortless and powerful 👍
Che bella voce!
How am I just now learning about Aragall?!
You'd better do your research, if you want to be amazed!
Ich denke , Aragall ist das, was man sich vorstellt wie etwas perfekt zu sein hat .
Es ist unglaublich!

Grande Jaume!!! E la voce sta sempre giovine!❤
un des meilleurs ténors du 20ème siècle...
De genolls amb un compatriota com Aragall❤️
Por algo Pavarotti decía que le gustaría tener la voz de Aragall...su timbre...Maravilloso!
Es eso, su timbre, es inigualable.

he is number one. No one can be better than him
Davvero un ottimo Rodolfo 👏

Excellent performance. I enjoyed this a lot and loved the expression on Aragell's face. captivating. Thanks for sharing.

That is in 1971.
FANTASTICO................................................UFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
I have not heard a finer rendition of this aria.
He IS Rodolfo!

Franco Corelli is Rodolfo Pollione Macduff Don Carlo Poliuto Dick Johnson Canio Don José Turiddu Cavaradossi Calaf Manrico Radames Don Alvaro Chenier Raoul di Nangis Ugonotti.
Not the "Three tenors"…. but the "Four tenors" …
Aragall is one of the top
Far greater, in their own words to me.
He is not of the "three tenors", he is "the tenor",
Pavarotti, talking on film about himself, Domingo and Aragall, said: “Aragall.....was probably the best of us”.
@@Tenorgeiger Pavarotti was humble, he knew where he stand, this guy is not only probably the best of them, he simply is. Very very great singing.

Saludos muy afectuosos!
muchas gracias por este maravillosos video
Aragall didn't have chest, middle and head voice; it was, instead, one seemless fountain of beauty!

right!!! he sounds just like him in this recording! it's kind of unbelievable
grande ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Bravoooooo!!!!!
Sempre.aragall.
I tried to find rehearsal with Virginia Zeani. Is there somebody with a big heart , who can share it with me??? Here on youtube was a full opera recording ,but it doesn't exist anymore.
Tenor con una voz excelsa. Es triste que el clan Caballe y sus problemas personales le impidieran el triunfo que se merecia
Bravo
Mai amb cansu de escoltar ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sutherland said he had a more beautiful voice than Pav!
❤️
Para hay tres tenores Españoles que están por encima del resto, Fleta, Kraus y Jaime. Tres voces diferentes pero únicas.
Antonio Cortis Hipolito Lazaro Francesco Vinas.
@@e.g.8454 Efectivamente también grandísimos tenores a mi especialmente Cortis me encantaba
para deleite
O voi che esaltate Di Stefano ,avete ascoltato questo spagnolo?
Si possono essaltare tutte e due

Grande anche Fleta. C'è un pezzo particolarmente magnifico che ho ascoltato, ma non ricordo quale :o((
Se lo dicono i due tenori overrated del ventesimo secolo ossia Pavarotti e Domingo poi.. di voci belle ce ne sono state tante e anche migliori a partire da Gigli Di Stefano Corelli Del Monaco Masini Tagliavini Bjorling Tucker Prevedi e via discorrendo.
La voce de Tucker era potente ma bruta
Aragall el mejor Spinto de la historia...
Domingo + Carreras = Aragall.
Great voice. Less emotion😊
Canta con mucha naturalidad y su voz muy bien timbrada y bella aunque no me gusta como el fraseo se desmaya a veces,como pasa con Caballe.Un gran tenor
Equals Pavarotti. Great rendition.
Pov says it better but I think he is one of my faverats
At his best here but later on..he had trouble with his Pitch..explains why his Career wasn't as great as the Big Three!
Aragall cómo Carreras, Bergonzi, Álvarez y Di Stéfano son perfectos para interpretar a Rodolfo...
Y Pavarotti
Gigli Bjorling Moldoveanu .
Franco Corelli Beniamino Gigli Jussi Bjorling
ER WAR UND IST EIN JAHRHUNDERT TENOR
大哥作为一个西班牙人，意大利话也是那么牛屄
Lip synched. Jaume Aragall had a nice voice and was good overall, but certainly couldn't hold a candle to Pavarotti.
insertnicknamehere Now, the Pav himself would disagree.
It's a matter of preference. I prefer Aragall's sound to Pavarotti...
Pavarotti overrated tenor
You just revealed to the world that you know nothing about lyric tenor voices.
i think he's lip sinking !
It's opera you silly sausage. Not Top of the Pops. Opera singers are the real thing - no mikes and certainly no sinking of the lips!
