An awful lot of armchair tenors leaving comments about Mr. Kaufmann's technique. I am Franco Corelli's biggest fan, but he isn't coming back, folks. Sit at home and listen to his La Scala recording, or see Mr. Kaufmann - well, I don't know of another tenor today that could meet the demands of this role vocally, scenically, and dramatically, which he achieved superbly. I'm extremely grateful to the Met for giving me the very great pleasure of watching three superb acting singers put across my beloved Fanciulla. For me, it truly was a miraculous production that left me in tears at the beauty of the music and acting.
Jonas was fantastic I was at the Met during this performance and his voice filled all the auditorium of 3,800 people, I was at the Balcony. His sound is harmonious, wide and dark not shrill or forced or pushed. The top note was great, a real open throat sound, like a baritone that can open up on a top tenor note. I have heard bigger voices at the met and lyrical tenors with a "prettier" sound and perhaps he is not the loudest helden tenor in history but on Saturday he gave a note perfect reading of a role that suits him perfectly. Bravo Jonas.
Au Met, en 2018 c'était fabuleux. J'ai eu la chance de revoir cette production depuis et c'est toujours aussi beau et aussi émouvant. Jonas Kaufmann, Eva Maria Westbroek, Zeljko Lucic sont merveilleux. Tout le casting, les chœurs, la direction de Marco Armillato, un vrai bonheur. Décors, production, costumes extraordinaires. J'ai adoré.
This was an absolutely glorious opera! I loved every minute of it! So different than all the other Puccini operas. It now ranks as my favorite Puccini opera!
It was, as you describe, absolutely glorious, but musically, it’s actually not so different from other Puccini operas. The costumes, setting, etc.: of course, they are all very different, but the exquisite orchestration and the passion in the music is very, very much like Puccini, I think. There’s a lot of La Bohème and of Tosca in La Fanciulla; perfected, perhaps but still the same style of beauty. The particular awesomeness of today was the monumental interpretation.
I do agree it is a great quite underated opera. The production setting reminded me of "La Boheme" for its darkness, but the love triangle is quite the same as in Tosca, except of course for the happy ending.
What an incredible experience! SO different from Puccini's other operas. A whole new Puccini for me. This gentleman was extraordinary ... what a gorgeous voice, what wonderfully nuanced singing, what a charismatic performer. Yes, I'm raving. Primo tenore, BRAVO!
Ch'ella Mi Creda Ch'ella mi creda libero e lontano Sopra una nuova via di redenzione! Aspetterà ch'io torni E passeranno i giorni E passeranno i giorni Ed io non tornerò Ed io non tornerò Minnie, della mia vita mio solo fiore Minnie, che m'hai voluto tanto bene! Tanto bene! Ah, tu della mia vita mio solo fior!
nel tempo attuale certamente ha pochi rivali...nell'assoluto la Fanciulla del west appartiene a voci del passato ben più caratteriali e consistenti....ma ahimè, il passato è morto e sepolto
I was there!! Terrible weather in New York on Saturday, but worth the effort to see this outstanding performance. Kaufmann, Westbroek, and Lucic were excellent.
Kaufmann is an excellent actor, and while he isn’t Corelli (no one is) he is the best tenor we have at the moment… so you can either complain or listen.
The vocal production is as throaty as it's guttural, with distinctive register breaks. Notes off the stave are squeezed out without any build-up and in many sequence smudged. Legato is as abundant as rainfall in Sahara. Stylistically, he's all over the place in addition to the fact that he is channeling his inner Renee Fleming in that every word, every sentence is fussed and tweaked to the extent that any sense of spontaneity is lost. Those comparison to the legendary Jon Vickers by certain so-called critics is simply preposterous. The Canadian's voice is naturally produced and is employed with the greatest artistry, whereas the voice of "the most gorgeous thing on the lyric stage today" (so claimed by thousands and thousands of queens around the globe) is weirdly produced, sounding synthetic and grating.
There were moments a Kaufmann did not sound well especially in high register. He’s great in the middle. Why everyone talks about his good look? He acts very well, but the look? I guess everyone preference.
I do like kaufman but maybe not so much in Italian opera,I’m not saying he isn’t good I just am not a fan of the heavy cloudy sound verging on baritonal,for me he lacks the ring and thrill of a Corelli or del monaco but that’s just personal choice
This aria was excellent, but the ending of Act II was incredibly dramatic, the most intense experience I've had at a Met broadcast. This is why people go to the opera. I need to delve further into La Fanciulla. BTW, a chorus of boos to the naysayers. They sound like some Frank Rich screed, with complete failure turning on some arcane distinction.
whoopsala I totally agree and can never see what all the hype is about,sure he has a big baritone voice but it lacks excitement has no clarion ring to it,it’s dull in my opinion
Cumulus Cloud le ragioni che leí chiede a me con grande precisione le ha sintetizzate il sig. Eugenio Gentili. Gli armonici dela voce di Kauffman non sonó quelli di tenore e il suo canto e completamente ingolato. Se leí non lo percepisce, le ragioni teoriche che leí chiede non servono a niente.
Por favor!!! no por ser tenor del momento actual, se puede olvidar a Franco Corelli y tantos otros cantantes en La Fanciulla del West, ellos sabian muy bien como hacer llegar al publico un Dick Johnsonel Señor Kaufmann, apenas le roza los talones, amigos a escuchar tenores del pasado.
LA VIDA ES HOY . DISFRUTEMOS A ESTE EXTRAORDINARIO KAUFMANN . EL PASADO ES JUSTAMMENTE ESO : PASADO . CON GRAN RESPETO POR LOS QUE YA FUERON . NO SABEMOS QUE VENDRA EN EL FUTURO . POR ESO Y MUCHO MAS ...BRAVISSIMO JONAS KAUFMANN ...
R Arnold 0:44 and 1:43. The vibrato is getting wider and the voice is getting tired. He anchors the voice to get his top as well which is what Jose Cura did and it's not pretty. This rep is far to heavy for him so he sounds pushed and bland. You realise this because he's constantly sharp on top as well.
Manrica Ajo oh so because he's the "best tenor today" means he's great? Means his technique is flawless and he has no strain? Btw he's not the best tenor today.
How utterly stupid it was of this director to have the fat sheriff approach Kaufmann in the middle of an essential final phrase. Yes, the foolish director interrupted the music and seriously destroyed the emotional effect of this moving aria.
Man I love Jonas Kaufmann, but this role imo doesn't suit his voice. It sounds a bit pushed and forced. Plus, when he goes to the top note (Bflat) it 's sounds stuck and the vibrato is a bit irregular.
He will make a fine baritone some day sounds like he has sinus issues sounds all blocked up try del Monaco In fact any other tenor would sound better than this,maybe he was having an off night
Poor performance...no squillo.he was.much better when he did the lyric repertoire ...boheme he was great....now he has lost ring and cordinate chest voicw.

He is actually a leggero tenor, not even close to a heldentenor.
I was ar the Met I could not hear him
Wonderful performance! And Jonas Kaufmann was great!!! Voice, acting, presence... the perfect Johnson!

It was Puccini's favorite opera too!
@@buenvendor Tosca triangle not the same. Quite a bit different actually. Scarpia never loved Tosca. Rance really did love Minnie.
My only issue with this staging is the set! Only the scenery in Act 2 matches the grand beauty of the music.
Très belle production et magnifique trio de chanteurs merci pour toutes ces émotions
What a wonderfull voice!!!😍
What an incredible experience! SO different from Puccini's other operas. A whole new Puccini for me. This gentleman was extraordinary ... what a gorgeous voice, what wonderfully nuanced singing, what a charismatic performer. Yes, I'm raving. Primo tenore, BRAVO!
He's really bad. This is so much better: ruclips.net/video/iVUwvbUGueY/видео.html
This is a pretty average performance for him. He isn’t considered the best tenor performing at the moment for nothing.
Favoloso, bravo Jonas!!!
I was sitting in the orchestra for that performance. It was an ideal Fanciulla
Yes, I heard him singing this live at the Met - several times in October 2018. Beautiful!
Bravo Jonas !!!!! Toujours une très belle voix !!!! Merci !!!
That kid can sing ANYTHING!
Not Aida, Turandot, Trovatore, Poliutto, Gli Ugonotti.
Ch'ella Mi Creda
Ch'ella mi creda libero e lontano
Sopra una nuova via di redenzione!
Aspetterà ch'io torni

I envy you being there, just wish I was too
I was there too. It was cold rainy windy day. But l was happy to see and listen Kaufmann.
They were all bad. This is a true performance of this great work: ruclips.net/video/iVUwvbUGueY/видео.html
I attended this performance at the Met on this date! Jonas Kaufmann sang so beautifully. The production was wonderful!
I completely agree about the production, but the singing was awful.
Such an underrated opera…
Great ♫♪
Kaufmann is an excellent actor, and while he isn’t Corelli (no one is) he is the best tenor we have at the moment… so you can either complain or listen.
Look at the asian background singer at 1:45. He just shakes his head. Knowing that Jonas unlocked the swag.
Non ci siamo!!!
I love Kaufmann so much and he is at his best here! Bravissimo! My favorite Ramerrez!
I am so into this.
I understand why Minnie fell in love with an outlaw.
Seriously, best interpretation of this aria together with Jussi Björling.
Del Monaco is better, so is correli
l'interprete storico è Mario del Monaco, poi Franco Corelli e Giacomini....cerchi le registrazioni live qui in youtube
Ele me agrada sempre❤
Je pleure 💕💕💕
If all of opera were movies, this might be a spaghetti western one
这个选段太耐听啦！❤ 1:50
JK m’à fendu le cœur ♥️♥️♥️
I am no fan of Puccini,but Jonas Kaufman can sell it!
Che roba è?
A beautiful opera aria
По сравнению с настоящими драм тенорами это всё ещё так плохо..😢
Grande Puccini.Bravo Bavarese Jonas!
he isn't gianfranco cecchele
SOLO JONAS KAUFMANN, ES CAPAZ DE DARLES VIDA A LOS PERSONAJES DE PUCCINI ...NADIE COMO EL POSEE ESA BELLA CHISPA DIVINA ...

Fuori repertorio. Voce ingolata .
I've the way ksufman sounds even if he is far from traditional opera technique
¡Giuseppe Giacomini!
on dirait Placido Domingo.... physiquement (de loin !) et vocalement .....
There were moments a Kaufmann did not sound well especially in high register. He’s great in the middle. Why everyone talks about his good look? He acts very well, but the look? I guess everyone preference.

It’s my dream to see it in SFO opera , still now difficult to see in France.Wonderful Jonas, it seems that Puccini wrote for him
nicole reding-hourcade I thought the same thing. I haven’t heard an opera fit Kaufman’s voice so well
Puccini la escribió para el gran Enrico Caruso, El Jonas no le llega ni a las suelas del zapato.
This aria was excellent, but the ending of Act II was incredibly dramatic, the most intense experience I've had at a Met broadcast. This is why people go to the opera. I need to delve further into La Fanciulla. BTW, a chorus of boos to the naysayers. They sound like some Frank Rich screed, with complete failure turning on some arcane distinction.
There is absolutely no ring to his voice...
you should clearly check you ears out.

Why do you think so? Could you give some arguments, please?

It's terrible 🤢🤮
No squillo, all the aria sung with his throat, no power, no armonics. An insult to opera
This is not a good sound, but if you have heard this aria in cinema at the live broadcast, it was incredible beautiful!!
To you, its not a "good sound".
R Arnold I Mean the sound on RUclips is not good.
They have trouble mixing the sound for their operas broadcasts.
Bravo Luca I agree! I heard him live several times. He is wonderful and he is my favorite since 12 years!

Personally I like his top here, because there was so much depth in it, and it was still right on the pitch. Of course that’s an opinion.
