I’ve always thought Carreras’ younger voice was one of the most mellifluous, warm and beautiful voices of tenor history. He made a great Rodolfo here! Plenty of power here.
Three weeks from today, my beloved wife and I will celebrate 60 years of marriage. I plan to woo her again with this aria. I chose it because I feel in it the eternal beauty of being totally in love with the love of your life. Please bear with me for being sentimental at 84 years and thank you Puccini.
That´s one of the most beautiful comments I've read in a long time. I hope you've had the most wonderful celebration with your wife and that this comment finds you both in good health. I wish everyone was more of the "sentimental" kind you say you are. The world would definitely be a happier place to live in.
Glorious grand operatic time! Not only fantastic lyric singing, but also perfect look of both to fit the roles... no one else, they look and sound RIGHT! Thank you.
Jose is my favorite in this role!!! He is totally believable as Rodolfo, his movements and facial expressions seem real and genuine, and great singing, so fitting to the role. The high note gave me a shiver and brought tears to my eyes.
Domingo could sing everything, Pavarotti was the big show - but the most beautiful voice was Carreras for me. I will never forget a concert in Cologne/Germany with him decades ago....which left half of the audience overwhelmed with emotions....absolute fantastic performer.
Absolutely wrong! A ruined voice, cracked, poor. So painful to hear his squeaks! No beauty! You can't compare that trio with Gigli, Volpi, Caruso, because trio are overrated, other are have a great name, they are true legends and can sing everything!!!
@@Monnarchmonnarchy A pathetic and stupid comment by one even more absolutely wrong! IDIOT! Jose Carreras - the golden voice, especially in this and lighter roles. think before you make comments
@@Monnarchmonnarchy YOU are absolutely wrong. Domingo had no chance in the role because of the high notes and the looks and timbre of voice, and Pavarotti didn't scarcely look or act the part no matter how he sounded. Pavarotti sounded the best, but then, there is his size...Carreras was GOLD for this role and lighter ones. All who deny this are a disgrace and are dishonest in opera.
Monnarch Monnarchy Domingo cracked all the time you crackhead lol. Get your facts correct. Carreras was glorious sounding until his illness. Why do you people keep lying and mis characterizing? Is it that you are evil?
There is no other tenor in the world that can transmit the emotions of his singing his stage presence is unbelievable and that voice is pure magic ,BRAVO Josep Carreras
PAPITO LINDO , YO TE VI EN BELLAS ARTES , CIUDAD DE MÉXICO Y ME ACABASTE DE ROBAR EL CORAZÓN ❤ . TE ADMIRO Y TE AMO POR MUCHAS MÁS RAZONES . DIOS TE SIGA BENDICIENDO .
All around superb performance, looks the part, acting excellent, voice perfect. Totally believable, with all the right nuances, intimate and loving, a thrilling performance.
I am not an expert, but I love opera. I use to listen to several different tenors, and I find Carrera one of the best melodic voices I ever heard. Perfect for romantic operas, such Traviata or Boheme.
The most beautiful voice with Pippo by far... Phrasing... Serving every single word... Breath control... Handsome... What more could you ask for an amazing Rodolfo... Maybe pushing a bit... But who cares...
One of the mos beautiful voices I never heard. I discovered him in Liceu of Barcelona. Both were young and it was my first opera live. I I felt in love with Carreras and opera. I am grateful with life for this teasure i keep in my memory and everytime I linsten to him again I fly as i was the youg man i was then...
This is an excerpt from a complete 1982 Met performance available on DVD, conducted by James Levine. Early in his career Carreras voice was gorgeous and used with perfect technique. Add to that his movie star looks and the naturalness and tenderness of his acting, and you have the perfect Romantic hero! Only Bjorling could sing the aria more beautifully. And no one surpasses Carreras as the embodiment of Rodolfo
Yes, I keep coming back to this performance, so romantic, so moving. Carreras isn't just a gorgeous operatic voice, he's an actor, and weaves the opera's magic on many levels. I fall in love with Rodolpho just as Mimi does, and fall in love with Carreras again and again.
I have just finished watching the whole opera and I was just blown away by it all it was wonderful. I had to get in from the USA as it was not available where I live but worth every penny
Such a wonderful pairing, this Rodolfo and Mimi. His beautiful expression of opening up to love by saying, "this is who I am, and who are you," combined with Carreras' sweet voice and affecting manner, is the epitome of romanticism. Even listening to him for the umpteenth time, I hear him for the first time as well. Thank you for reminding me, yet again, to seek beauty in this beautiful world.
Perhaps someone better informed than I would care to comment on my comment that Jose's magnificent rendition of this, my all time favourite aria, was delivered at a tempo perceptively different when compared to Pavarotti, Kaufmann, Alagna et al. For me, Jose's rendition evinced within me a more spiritual impact on my being than anyone else has hitherto.
Bravo carreras, estás entre los mejores de todos los tiempos. Mi opinión es que la enfermedad que te a tocado sufrir, llegó en el peor momento de tu vida, pués los tenores como el vino con el tiempo son mejores. Larga vida, Don José.
" Спокойной ночи " Ещё не спите, нет? Тогда прочтите. Слова и мысли, Чувств живой бутон! Прислушайтесь И голос мой услышьте! Пусть убаюкает Вас Нежно перед сном! Прогулка в поздний час Под звёздным небом, Мы за городом, Дышим и живём! Поём, танцуем, Кружимся как листики Где - то. У ручейка стоит Наш мостик Средь берёз.

This is beautiful. To sing like this you need magnificence. And no - one can deny the great Pavarotti. But for beauty of might and sound I lean toward the great Lanza. Still I love and admire all these singers.
Jose has probably the most lusciously lyrical Tenors voices ever recorded,so he should not be compared. with the Bel Canto or Dramatic voices of Domingo and Pavarotti who could sing Wagner,Mozart and Bellini...Jose is unique!!
Per molto tempo e' stato ispirato dal suo grande idolo Di Stefano,ecco perche' la sua voce trasmette preziosi sentimenti ,sconosciuti nella gran parte degli altri famosi tenori,primo tra tutti Pavarotti
Yes, he has not only the gorgeous voice, but the stage presence, acting ability, interpretive finesse, and looks of a leading man. This lets me concentrate on the music and the drama, instead of thinking, "Oh, that's Singer X in a role." Then, at the end, my appreciation switches back to, "Oh, that was the fantastic Jose Carreras."
I’ve always thought Carreras’ younger voice was one of the most mellifluous, warm and beautiful voices of tenor history. He made a great Rodolfo here! Plenty of power here.
Agree, he started singing heavier roles too soon and lost the lyric freshness and squillo...
@@carmencitav ABOVE ALL,HE HAD LEUKEMIA AND HAD TO FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE IN SEATTLE, IN AN IRRADIATION TAK, SO AFTERWARDS..........
Three weeks from today, my beloved wife and I will celebrate 60 years of marriage.
I plan to woo her again with this aria.
I chose it because I feel in it the eternal beauty of being totally in love with the love of your life.

כל הכבוד יצחק
Anche mezzo tono sotto,José è il migliore tenore del mondo, l'anima conta ,e soprattutto l'interpretazione,grazie mille José
We love you Carreras
Este Tenor si que lo da todo Bravo Jose carreras
"Fantastic!" Bravo, Jose Carreras!
Este no ha sido un caballero en su vida.
che gelida manina really was the perfect aria for the young Carreras' voice - and he made the most of Puccini's masterpiece. Just stunning.
Carreras inigualável. Bravo. Voz eterna
Sem igual. O melhor de todos os maestro.
Glorious grand operatic time! Not only fantastic lyric singing, but also perfect look of both to fit the roles... no one else, they look and sound RIGHT! Thank you.
Veramente straordinario in questa interpretazione!!!!!!!!
Carreras' voice always invites us to fall in love with the music.
Una delle voci che ho amato di più. Un grande Carreras
His recitation is magnific
Além da voz esplêndida, precisamos dar uma pausa para admirar a beleza desse homem.. um verdadeiro príncipe!!!😍😍😍
Sublime, few better tenors ever then Carreras, the warmth of his voice could melt even the coldest hard stone of hearts.
Preciosa Aria. Magnifica interpretación de Jose Carreras.
Jose is my favorite in this role!!! He is totally believable as Rodolfo, his movements and facial expressions seem real and genuine, and great singing, so fitting to the role. The high note gave me a shiver and brought tears to my eyes.
Jose is certainly feeling the role.Very sincere ,very convincing .Great voice.A big favourite of mine!
Nothing fake or phony about Jose! The REAL DEAL! THE REAL McCOY!!!

@@DLJ2890 Idiot is you here! Who knows, that only 3 tenors! A commercial machine! Get lost, honey! He ruined his voice, a true "golden" trash!
Monnarch Monnarchy Domingo cracked all the time you crackhead lol. Get your facts correct. Carreras was glorious sounding until his illness. Why do you people keep lying and mis characterizing? Is it that you are evil?
Oh my...Just no words to express my joy!!
There is no other tenor in the world that can transmit the emotions of his singing his stage presence is unbelievable and that voice is pure magic ,BRAVO Josep Carreras

This man is my hero. Such a beautiful lyric tenor, sang some of the roles I dream to sing someday, and we're even the same height!
All around superb performance, looks the part, acting excellent, voice perfect. Totally believable, with all the right nuances, intimate and loving, a thrilling performance.
One of the best tenors 💚 ever.
...and a very lovely soprano 💙. I love Stratas and Carreras.
A beautiful🌹 soprano + a sublime tenor🌻 = Magic.💚💙
La plus belle voix de toutes à mon humble avis.
Aqui, Carreras estava absolutamente no auge. Tinha uma voz esplendorosa.
I am not an expert, but I love opera. I use to listen to several different tenors, and I find Carrera one of the best melodic voices I ever heard. Perfect for romantic operas, such Traviata or Boheme.
Beautiful. Wonderful. Brilliant. I love Jose's voice. So splendid. One of my favorite pieces I've seen so far.
Bravo Carrera , una voce Raffinata e una dizione perfetta.
Wonderful. So handsome too ❤
Thank you for this.
sin duda , la interpretación mas hermosa que he escuchado.
Bravissimo. Super good sung, Maestro. I love this version.
Maestro carreras, me pongo de pie y aplaudo, gracias jose mil gracias por regalarnos estos momentos
The most beautiful voice with Pippo by far... Phrasing... Serving every single word... Breath control... Handsome... What more could you ask for an amazing Rodolfo... Maybe pushing a bit... But who cares...

Przepiękne wykonanie 😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩

Pavarotti owns that role and aria.
Na. Pavarotti owns Nessun Dorma, but this one belongs to the young Carreras.
I love this beautiful melodic portrayal With Jose it is about the whole piece not just the one high note for me this is perfection
Yes, I keep coming back to this performance, so romantic, so moving. Carreras isn't just a gorgeous operatic voice, he's an actor, and weaves the opera's magic on many levels. I fall in love with Rodolpho just as Mimi does, and fall in love with Carreras again and again.
The most beautiful tenor voice ever, bar none.
I have just finished watching the whole opera and I was just blown away by it all it was wonderful. I had to get in from the USA as it was not available where I live but worth every penny
I would have gone to the moon and back for this recording, but for my good fortune, I got it in the store here in Bogotá!
Brought tears to my eyes, so yes, Jose Carreras' Rodolfo works for me
It makes me cry, this is the depiction of the artist
the best & only Rodolfo in the world is JOSE' CARRERAS!
simply amazing ,I love Jose dedication
Such a wonderful pairing, this Rodolfo and Mimi. His beautiful expression of opening up to love by saying, "this is who I am, and who are you," combined with Carreras' sweet voice and affecting manner, is the epitome of romanticism.

Solo Tu riesci a farmi piangere...grato per sempre!
Meravigliosissimo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great performance by Carreras. Beautiful singing by a beautiful man - really rare in opera
Oh yes, he was really gifted! Beautiful voice and the face of an angel, as one of his soprano's said once...
God Oh Mighty, in his day Jose was a glorious tenor. He nailed the hi C at the end.
Mezza note soto
Sung with alot of passion. Love it!
De hecho, un Rodolfo auténtico, verdadero, apasionado; toda la capacidad del maestro Carreras en esta hermosa aria.
Magnífico
O melhor dos melhores. Ele vive o personagem. Maravilhoso
Simply mesmerizing
Maravilloso!
תמיד חשבתי שזה הביצוע הטוב והמרגש ביותר של האריה הזו
Creo que cada aria tiene un interprete idoneo, Carreras con Che gelida manina, Pavarotti con Nessum dorma y Placido domingo con vesti la giuba!
martin alonso garcia Entendiste todo!
martin alonso garcia Me gustaría agregar je crois entendre encore con Kraus
" Спокойной ночи "
Ещё не спите, нет?
Тогда прочтите.
Слова и мысли,
Чувств живой бутон!
Прислушайтесь
И голос мой услышьте!
Пусть убаюкает Вас
Нежно перед сном!
Прогулка в поздний час
Под звёздным небом,
Мы за городом,
Дышим и живём!
Поём, танцуем,
Кружимся как листики
Где - то.
У ручейка стоит
Наш мостик
Средь берёз.
Я обнимаю Вас,
Прижавшись
И дрожа всем телом.
Целую щёчки, губы
И глаза!
Мы так близки,
Родные человечки!
Мы друг для друга
Больше, чем все океаны,
Моря🥰🥰
Beh che dire talento è bellezza !!
Extraordinari
Josep Ccarreres, extraordinari!!!
This is beautiful. To sing like this you need magnificence. And no - one can deny the great Pavarotti. But for beauty of might and sound I lean toward the great Lanza. Still I love and admire all these singers.
Lindíssima canção!💕
Un giovane e gia' bravo Jose Carreras!!
Jose has probably the most lusciously lyrical Tenors voices ever recorded,so he should not be compared. with the Bel Canto or Dramatic voices of Domingo and Pavarotti who could sing Wagner,Mozart and Bellini...Jose is unique!!
No veo a Pav cantando roles tan pesados. De hecho no lo hizo... su Otello fue horrible.
Qué belleza!
esplendido siempre
I'm impressed!!
my fav aria for my fav tenor, gorgeous voice, sexy man
Per molto tempo e' stato ispirato dal suo grande idolo Di Stefano,ecco perche' la sua voce trasmette preziosi sentimenti ,sconosciuti nella gran parte degli altri famosi tenori,primo tra tutti Pavarotti
Jose' looks and sounds just gorgeous here............. sigh............
quelle voix magnifique, dorée, ronde, sensuelle merci José
Wahre Eleganz ist zeitlos.
Voglio bene a José
È bravissimo con la pronuncia italiana ,
BRAVISSIMO
È nel mio cuore con il grande maestro Pavarotti.
Deep and true and beautiful.
Brilliant!!
One of the best voices ....)))
The best ever.
Yes,a very good voice but not the best.
Quite beautiful, how lucky we were to have Puccini and singers like Carreras to sing them
an exquisite voice, no doubt - but carreras is also one of the most handsome tenors out there.
Yes, he has not only the gorgeous voice, but the stage presence, acting ability, interpretive finesse, and looks of a leading man. This lets me concentrate on the music and the drama, instead of thinking, "Oh, that's Singer X in a role." Then, at the end, my appreciation switches back to, "Oh, that was the fantastic Jose Carreras."
MAGISTRAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hermoso Carreras..Straordinario
Love him!
