Beautiful duet! And yesterday I listened to this piece of art performed by maestro Placido with my beloved artist from Kazakhstan Dimash Qudaibergen and I am simply delighted! 😍🔥👏👏👏
I don’t know since when Placido switched to baritone, eventually due to aging he needs to switch. With Dimash, I am sure he can do much better if he wanted to 😊
Hermosa versión con estos grandes cantantes, también empiezo a disfrutarla con Plácido Domingo y mi querido y admirado Dimash Kudaibergen, grandioso y bello como mi Dimash
This piece never fails to bring me to tears. To see and hear these two greats, in their gilded years, proves that music is immortal and the people who make it are gods.
Love it! Had never heard this song before. As I watched the performance, though, I suddenly realized that Andrea Bocelli (my favorite tenor) has had to memorize everything! I know most singers etc. do, but seeing Placido Domingo use music sheets just reminded me of it.
I think it's because Domingo is singing the baritone part here even though he is a tenor. He would know the tenor part by heart having performed the full opera before. Just my guess though.
Eu estou aqui assistindo esse dueto depois de assistir o dueto lindíssimo de Plácido Domingo e o nosso amado Dimash. Ambos dueto maravilhosos, mas prefiro o do Plácido Domingo e Dimash 😁🤗🥰
My Mum knew nothing about Opera she was English,didn't speak a word of Italian,but she loved this however.She had a tragic and short life but this tune made her so happy,It makes me cry when ever I hear it.God bless you Mum I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me the most.I wish you were still here Mum.
It’s French, not Italian. You never get tired of this aria sung by so many tremendous singers. I’m 93 and have known and heard some of the most gifted singers. Thank you.
I have heard much opera and other music throughout my nearly 70 years. There is nothing more beautiful to me than this particular duet. Sung by these two men, there is nothing more incredibly beautiful. I dissolve in tears at the unearthly beauty.
Bocelli is and always will be a third class "tenor" .Sung here for the money only.While Domingo is certainly no "baritone", again only for the money.Open your ears people.
MyWonderful brother-in-law introduced me to my favourite duet ever! Unfortunately, he died a month ago but l will always be so thankful to him for giving me this beautiful duet to remind me of him. Fly high Johnny as high as you possibly can.We will always love you.x❤
This performance was part of a memorial for the Maestro Pavarotti!! Domingo and Bocelli gave a Bravo performance I thought!! Well done and Thank You!! ....2018
Stunning! The love & friendship between these 2 living legends adds an immeasurable spiritual dimension to the music. Their singing will touch millions during & after their time on this earth - BUT who will remember the mendacity of spirit of those with no name recognition & little talent who only criticize on You Tube lol Most of us are grateful for this posting.
This is one of my favourite operatic duets. Having said that the version I first heard many years ago was that from Jussi Bjorling and Robert Merrill and to my mind (and ear) that set the standard for me. Of course individual tastes differ which is why I take absolutely no notice of music critics!
To share Ben's higher wish to be heard at his memorial In all the years gone bye, I cry for me and for those who were able to receive the gifts of his soul .
Super super mooi.Heel emotioneel wordt ik hier van.Wat een super getalenteerde opera zangers zijn dit.Zij strelen min gehoor met hun geweldige mooie stemmen.Bravo en groot applaus hiervoor en hartelijke dank.👏👏👏👏✨💫🌟💎💎❤️❤️💞💞💞💖💖💖💐💐💐💐
What a beautiful song and performance,just lifts my soul and I can remember my Mum listening to this song when I was growing up in the 80s.My Dad brought her the single and she was so emotional listening to it,never got it then but I do now in 2021❤️
SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! Just wish my computer was louder for my dad who is 94+ and his hearing not that great. Nothing is better than these melodious tunes in opera. My Mom is 91 but her hearing is still good.
Interprétation inaudible, non maîtrise du Français, une véritable cacophonie pour ceux qui ont écouté Les Pêcheurs de Perles interprété par l'inoubliable Alain Vanzo ou, Robero Alagna...cette interprétation de Domingo et Bocelli est un pur Massacre de la langue française, indigne de telles pointures
I have just lost my brother-in-law recently, and it is through him that l came to know this beautiful duet. I absolutely love it. Thank you Johnny and RIP to you, with much love from us.x❤
@@brookeggleston9314 you do realise that by definition, your reason is misdirected? You are actually saying that, because I asked someone who was heavily criticising this music, if they could do better? And by doing so, I thereby portend to be able to! Maybe, you should ask the person who said, the performers savagely destroyed this music if they assume they can do any better... My point exactly. Stop means STOP where I'm from, and so does BELL END
Estoy encantada y maravillada de tanta música que quisiera poder escucharla toda sólo que me hace falta tiempo pero me sirve de relax antes de ir a descansar.Gracias Plácido por tantos regalos que acabo de descubrir y me llena de felicidad a cambio le pido a Dios que te de mucha salud a ti y a todos los tuyos.Mucha suerte con toda mi admiración
Domingo is a vocal miracle who started his career as a teen in Mexico City as a baritone, so history repeats itself, and he sounds wonderful as tenore and as baritone. so lovely. so versatile ! WOW ! Bravo, Placido !
Love it! It always amazes me that most singers/opera singers need to look at lyric sheets, teleprompters, etc. but since Andrea Bocelli can't, he always has everything memorized perfectly. He's incredible!
Um, no. The vast majority of opera singers are word perfect by the the time of performance. They don't use teleprompters. Where there are screens its to see the composer in the orchestra pit.
Well, to be fair, Domingo will have the tenor part memorised, having played the part in 1964. And at this writing he has memorised the baritone part, as he played that role in 2018.
What amazes me though is that he had to learn the lyrics (even in a foreign language in this case), pitches, rhythms for all the songs he sings all by just listening and without anything to look at. And to be fair, extremely rarely had I seen Bocelli forgets about lyrics on stage. Considering the wide range of songs he sings, that is an accomplishment in itself.
@@stefanierohan667 I love how he has taken on major baritone roles as he gets older and his voice changes. I wonder how it feels to perform with someone else singing "his" part.
Bocelli has actually a very poor voice by operatic standards. Now that he has lured you in, look into the myriad of great tenors available on record and widen your knowledge. When you've listened - really listened - to a couple of dozen of the greats then you can re-evaluate Bocelli.
@@edwardkerrigan5356 Well said! There are such amazing tenors, Bjorling, Pavaroti, Gilgi, Caruso, di Stefano, Frans Wunderlich and so many more! An absolute treasure grove of more beautiful voices! Bjorling being my personal favorite though!
@@ramonavandermerwe1159 Yes, Bjorling is one of the greats, but my actual favourite is Jan Peerce, whose sheer quality and consistency of tone throughout his whole range is utterly exceptional.
One of the best renditions of this I have ever heard live was 20 years ago at Wymondham College UK. Mr Glover and Mr Bell....you blew us all away. Just wow 😯
Oh ! Thank you so very much for enabling people like myself to be able to see and hear such beautiful strong Opera singers , I used to go to Covent Garden and Glyndbourne in my youth but always alone because my friends wouldn't come as they were more Pop---Rock fan's which I also enjoyed . I kept all the Programmes and still treasure them ..so grateful to feel young at heart with a desire to learn even though I am 70yrs old , Placido Domingo and the incredibly talented miracle of Andrea Bocelli . When Coronavirus enables me to travel I shall finish my own " Bucket List " and travel to Italy once more. .God Willing .
dit was het lied van mijn vader lang geleden toen hij nog leefde als hij bedroeft was wilde hij niets anders als naar dit prachtige lied luisteren en ja zo vader zo zoon groetjes curacao
My message to the "expert" critics is that instead of analyzing and criticizing the different aspects of this performance and tearing it apart ask yourself just one question: Do you enjoy it? Does it gives you pleasure? If no, than just turn it off and listen to something else, and be quiet.
+George Marton This is very enjoyable in its own right. I don't much care if Domingo is not a true basso/baritone. I do admit that the Bjoerling/Merrill version is superior, but I liked this, mainly because I just love this aria.
Such a beautiful feeling when I listen to these two incredible voices. Hope Andrea & Placido have both shared the true love and passion they sing about in their own lives. Thank you RUclips for bringing such joy to all.
The humility of the man brings me to tears! Bravo Mr Domingo! I wonder how hard it was for him NOT to break into the tenor part, which he would have sung HUNDREDS of times by 2013. Bravissimi!
Too many "whiny posters" here! This performance may not be the very best (over the past 500 years). But...for those who ARE truly knowlegable, this performance really does "hold it's own" quite nicely!! Now....let's quit complaining and enjoy the music.
You just had to spoil all the beautiful comments. NOONE here has been negative but you. I can't believe that even in a beautiful venue like this, someone as unsightly and unpleasant as you has to come here to spoil it for everyone else. NOONE here has demeaned Placido & Bocelli whom we all love. Scram! You idiot!
"over the past 500 years". At the time of (my) writing, in 2020, the opera had been written only 157 years ago (so, for the OP, only 151 years). To be fair, the previous 349 years would have (trivially) held no better recordings. So there is a sense in which "the past 500 years" is true. But it might as well have been "the last 4 billion years".
One of the greatest operatic duets ever composed, the beautiful and powerful duet from "The Pearl Fishers" by Bizet. This is an outstanding performance by two of operas greatest tenors, Placido Domingo and Andrea Bocelli.
There is always going to be opinion differences on just about everything including this duet performance. I have heard the other one that you believe is superior and really it’s just a matter of taste. In this his case I don’t agree or disagree. Both are excellent.
@@edwardkerrigan5356 Oh oh, an expert has appeared from the netherworld of RUclips trolls 👿 to instruct us all on how knowledge he is regarding opera and its artists. Oh great one please disappear back from wench you came so that we may hear from you no more.
@@Brace67 When did I say I was an expert - although I obviously know as much, if not more than you about the subject? Everyone is allowed to express a personal opinion, which is really what we are talking about, even me. How many of the great tenors have you listened to, incidentally? Could you name some of them? If you have really LISTENED to some of the greats you would know that Bocelli's voice is poor by comparison. By the way the word is 'whence'.
Absolutely spectacular. I’m ashamed to say I’ve never heard Andrea Bocelli’s voice until now. This was a very emotional and beautiful piece of music. Plácido Domingo - my god, I could listen to him all day. I’ve always been a big fan of music. Italian opera, classical, Baroque, Renaissance- it never ceases to amaze me. I got chills listening to this.
Two exceptional and wonderful voices that that blend to each other and complement each other very well, producing this very pleasant to the ear, effect....one of the best interpretations ever heard, perhaps coming to the legendary one of Robert Merrill and Jussi Bjorling of some decades ago!
M and B is the best recording I've heard so far then Kaufmann and the darling Dimitri Hvorostovsky. But, it must be heard live really, and at the same ages, otherwise it is too unfair, right. I love this duet...Beautiful though.
@@edwardkerrigan5356 While I totally agree with on the comparison to JB and RM, why add the salty wording? But again, this version is nice but nowhere near the perfection of the mentioned masters.
The first time I really heard and listened to this duet, I realized what it was all about. Bizet's magnificent score and the rising tenor voices, cut through all the burdensome weight of time and of the pretense of musical hype, to touch the real meaning of the struggle and rewards of life that can be shown through art. This is why there is a form of music known as grand opera, and why I love it. Yes, the performance was sublime, but so are so many we might listen to. Deny yourself nothing, simply enjoy!

And to be fair, extremely rarely had I seen Bocelli forgets about lyrics on stage. Considering the wide range of songs he sings, that is an accomplishment in itself.

Absolutely spectacular. I’m ashamed to say I’ve never heard Andrea Bocelli’s voice until now. This was a very emotional and beautiful piece of music. Plácido Domingo - my god, I could listen to him all day. I’ve always been a big fan of music. Italian opera, classical, Baroque, Renaissance- it never ceases to amaze me. I got chills listening to this.

You haven't missed much - Bocelli doesn't compare with the operatic greats.

Two exceptional and wonderful voices that that blend to each other and complement each other very well, producing this very pleasant to the ear, effect....one of the best interpretations ever heard, perhaps coming to the legendary one of Robert Merrill and Jussi Bjorling of some decades ago!
M and B is the best recording I've heard so far then Kaufmann and the darling Dimitri Hvorostovsky. But, it must be heard live really, and at the same ages, otherwise it is too unfair, right. I love this duet...Beautiful though.

You must be joking - or deaf - it comes nowhere near the Bjorling/Merrill performance.
@@edwardkerrigan5356 While I totally agree with on the comparison to JB and RM, why add the salty wording? But again, this version is nice but nowhere near the perfection of the mentioned masters.
@@peterandersson6510 Nice? What's nice about it - Bocelli doesn't sound nice, to my ears, anyway. Still it's all a matter of personal preference.
Beautiful
A hidden gem, so glad I found this, thankyou !!
The first time I really heard and listened to this duet, I realized what it was all about. Bizet's magnificent score and the rising tenor voices, cut through all the burdensome weight of time and of the pretense of musical hype, to touch the real meaning of the struggle and rewards of life that can be shown through art. This is why there is a form of music known as grand opera, and why I love it. Yes, the performance was sublime, but so are so many we might listen to. Deny yourself nothing, simply enjoy!
Magnificent. Just bloody magnificent. That's all.
Wonderful. Thank you both 🎉
