- 🔥 Back with another Aria Explained, and this time the tenors are up!
Anyone who's seen Donizetti's La Fille du Regiment knows the tenor's aria, Ah, mes amis!, is a beast of an aria! But did you know that it doesn't actually have 9 high C's?! Found out why in today's episode.
We look today at two of the world's most famous tenors, Luciano Pavarotti and Juan Diego Florez. Which is your favorite?!
**Next video live: November 7th!**

Fun fact: Florez made a phone call to Pavarotti right before he had to go on stage to sing this role. 40 years after Pavarotti had a phenomenal success with this aria at the MET at the beginning of his career. Pavarotti encouraged him and he made it very good. Comparing the voices it's like comparing a lovely fountain with the niagara waterfalls. With all respect for Florez and his unbelievable high notes. Every time I hear other tenors I come back to Pavarotti. He has a wonderful timbre and so much volume and feeling in his voice. And something you can not explain. Energy, warmth, love...
Wow, what a cool tidbit! I love that - I know Pavarotti named Florez as someone whom he expected to take his place. Wonderful that he could encourage Florez before such a pivotal performance. Shame that there's not more footage of Pavarotti performing the role, although I did find some very shaky footage from the wings of a performance. I return to Pavarotti for almost everything, so I agree!
@@operaanna Yes, Florez is a friendly and very talented guy. But if you know Pavarotti... I also don't know any good video of Pavarotti singing Ah mes amis. Perhaps audio is better because the make up artist had a bad day. What a terrible wig and make up. 🤭 ...the way Pavarotti spoke of other tenors makes me love him even more. I know the interview about Florez, Corelli and others. Florez also admires him and visited him in Pesaro. And lives sometimes there. He often sings there at the Rossini Festival.
Yeah I think Pavarotti gets more mass or 'chest' into the high Cs. They honestly sound like a machine gun! Florez has a beautiful very agile voice but that force generated by Pavarotti in this is ridiculous for this repertoire.
Maybe 30 years, but Pavarotti had that succes at the met in 1972, or maybe you mean the one of 1966 at the covent garden?
@@Un_Gordo_De_Derecha I mixed up the two houses. Sorry, I meant Covent Garden 1966 (Pavarotti) and 2006 (Florez).
Great video! (I just discovered your channel.) We saw Florez at the Met on opening night of "La Fille du Regiment" (April 2008). The only thing more electric than when he hit the 9 C's was when he did an encore immediately afterwards, which brought the house down. It was the first time an encore was sung during a Met performance since 1994 (Pavarotti, "Tosca"). 18 high C's, all perfect. Amazing.
Amazing!! I've never seen him live, I'm sure it's fantastic.
Great work! Going from pav to Flores is like going from Hercules to Mickey Mouse. They’re both great. Just different kinda of great, lol.
HAHAHA I love this comparison SO MUCH! So true!
Well, the difference is HUGE...in favour of the BIG PAV of course
Yeah but opera is also a theatrical art. Pav was the ultimate park and park, even in his (slightly slimmer) youth, whereas JDF has always been a very believable actor.
@@ballyhigh11 if you actually read reviews of Pav in the 60s and 70s, people didn’t complain about his acting, they actually praised it. Complaints about his struggles on stage came much later in the 80s and 90s due to his notorious weight gain. One could easily argue JDF wouldn’t have to resort to such extreme physicalities had he the instrument and technique of Pav. But to each his own.
I don’t even listen to opera but now I will, love the memes added and you’re energy and insight. love this video keep up the good work from Australia 🇦🇺
THANK YOU!! the literal whole purpose of the vlog, you don't know how much this means 🥰😭
Fun fact the high Cs were supposed to be falsetto. It was supposed to mimic the alpine yodeling near were Tonio is supposed to be from in the opera!
...and this was not a special effect. Tenors routinely sang high notes in falsetto up until the mid-19th century. A high C in full voice in Rossini's 'Guillaume Tell' caused a sensation in Paris in 1837 but caused Rossini to remark that it sounded like "the squawk of a capon [chicken] with its throat cut".
Living for this whole series! ✨
More coming very soon 😊😊😊
I think JD Florez was considerably younger than 48 at the time that performance was recorded. Maybe 38 or less? But you're right, he's like the Dorian Gray of opera singers and seems to be eternally 28 no matter what performance I'm watching
Haha oh yeah i definitely didn't factor in time that had passed since the recording but STILL! definitely Dorian Gray syndrome 😅
I'm imagine he was 48 when she made this video, but am pretty certain he was in his mid thirties when he performed this opera which i believe was in 2007.
Great video again! Loved it, keep it coming 👌
Anna - your enthusiasm for opera is contagious. Love your content and your knowledge - keep it coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Love this aria-explanation session, thank you! (Nice to hear your voice interjected on occasion, too). :-) You chose my two favs--Pavarotti and Florez! Loved your presentation. (Note: Florez will be in LA in Jan 2023, my chance to see him after the last time--his performance with Natalie Dessay in La Fille du Regiment some years ago in San Francisco).
Thank you!! That's so exciting that Florez will be in LA. I would die to see him live!
I just discovered your channel and I absolutely love it! I'm Preparing to sing this aria so your video was very helpful! Thank you! ♥️
Thank you!! So glad it was helpful 🥰
Great video! I can't believe I haven't discovered this channel after all of the arias, operas, and artists I've searched on RUclips.
Welcome!
I sang in the chorus in a regional opera production of “Daughter” in 1981. I enjoyed this informative and, at times, whimsical video. Thumbs up! Subscribed! Thanks!
Thank you!
Delightfully done! Anna, you are as much fun to watch as the Opera itself!
Thank you!!
Great video, one of the greatest Arias of all time, and in my opinion, the greatest Pavarotti's performance ever
He was so great in that role. I wish there was more video of him singing it!
@@operaanna It is insane how effortless he signs it!, compare it to other LEGENDS signing it and the difference is obvious
No match for this role! And Rodolfo (1971), and the duke (also 1971- Japan live performance on YT is my favorite I think, albeit distorted sound).
Yes, Pavarotti likely the greatest tenor ever. With Pavarotti, remember it's not only how loud he can get, but the "size" of his voice. Beautifully spread out, No ?? The Daughter of the Regimen is my second favorite comic opera after Don Pasquale. Both are Donizetti operas as my favorite comic operas. Oooh. My apologies to Mozart. The best of the many versions of The Daughter of the Regimen in my opinion is clearly with Diego Flores and Natalie Dessay - both vocally on the mark. Aaaah, but Natalie Dessay 's performance - perfect. The best Marie ever. The most convincing Tom boy. Royal Opera House orchestra - thumbs up.
Please bring more mezzo arias :)
Hi, thank you so much - I'm definitely going to be bringing more Aria Explained's in general... Of course as a mezzo myself I'll bring some more amazing arias for us but can't be biased :P
This is my first watch of your channel. Great job!!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoyed this thanks, my fave is Javier Camarena doing this role and hitting the high C’s as he looks like a cuddly Ewok.
He would've been great to include!
Hey, I'm glad I've found your video! It's nice that you explain the whole scene and the build up. "La fille du régiment" is my favorite opera. Probably because I like happy endings and it's hard to find one in opera world ;) And I think that this version with Desay and Florez is wonderful, especially with Natalie's acting skills and Juan's light voice.
Thank you! It's a great one, and both of them are indeed just SO GOOD
Richtig! In manchen Rollen, Pavarotti war der Einzige mit diesen tollen "Tönen"! Früher gab es Franco Corelli, der genau so "strahlte"! Andere kenne ich bisher nicht mit so einer extremen Stimme! Aber es gibt viele sehr gute "neue" Tenöre, die mir auch gefallen!
Juan Diego Flórez ¡MONUMENTAL!
Florez is SO GOOD for this role, just the right style of voice, and those Cs are just rock solid.
The clarity of Pavarotti voice is the stuff of legend but records are meant to be broken except this one will take thousand of years to happen.
ESPERO PUEDAS LEERLO, ENCONTRE ESTA PIEZA HACE UNOS MESES Y HOY APRENDI QUE ERA UNA ARIA Y LOS 9 HICH, GRACIAS POR LA EXPLICACION Y SERA POR ESTO QUE ME GUSTA TANTO ESA PARTE LOS 9 C HIGH
thanks diego! glad you liked it!
Thank you for the video!!! I just subscribed! I was doing the same expressions here too haha
Thank YOU! I'll be back to uploading regularly soon 🙌🙌
I love Flores, but the robustness of Pavarotti's voice is just amazing in this role.
Fully agree. They both have amazing voices but no one comes close to the Pav
@@operaanna In this role, maybe only Alfredo Kraus in his prime.
@@operaanna It depends on the role. Pav had a magic lyric tenor voice, with the beautiful high extension that allowed him to be a Hercules of the bel canto rep.
Please make an Aria Explained of I Puritani. It has a freaking tenor F5 (the only one written in existence I believe.) It's absolutely bonkers!
YES - NEEDS TO BE DONE!
Flores 💪😁
Pavarotti has powerfull high lyric voice. Best tenor of all time.💥👌
Honestly though, he gives me goosebumps every time I hear him sing! Unbelievable... Thinking of doing a series on singers themselves, cause there's so much to say that I can't get to in the Aria Explained videos!
You thought very well👏😊
🤙🏻❤️
If it were up to me and I had the right voice to do it, and I was asked to concede the encore, I'd be like "screw 18 high C's, you're getting 20! Wait no, I'll even sweeten the deal by adding a high F at the end!"
For me Xavier😂Camanera is the best, I heard him and he did it " da capo" for us, great video I sure like your positive energy!! Besitos 😘
That sounds so fun! He'll be in my next tenor Aria Explaiend, so keep an eye out!
Bravo!
Great video as always. Really like your type of humor as well! Can I ask you where I can find the lyrics for the whole aria?
I tend to use www.opera-arias.com but sometimes they can be a bit ... Poetic. I'll make sure and add the translations for Aria Explained in the description in the future!
Why didn't so many people sing this Aria before, but now almost every tenor sings it? Is the technique better? This is worth thinking about.
What time frames are you referring to?
Thanks for the explanations. Also check out tenor Yijie Shi encoring "Pour mon âme" and nailing the 18 high Cs. The whole production is on RUclips; it's a 2018 production from Beijing at the National Centre for the Performing Arts. The soprano is very fine as well.
Thanks for the tip!
12 minutes?!? Was 15! But i loved it!
HAHAH yeah, I definitely didn't keep that promise.
Wasn’t the love forbidden because Marie was supposed to marry the Duke of Crakenthorp?
And she was French and Tonio was Tyrolean which was another strike against him.
But they marry anyway, so it all worked out as operas usually do. Lol.
That's right! But MUCH later in the opera when her long lost aunt/mother finds her. Also the Tyrolean thing, but i mentioned that, no? It always seems to work out in the comic operas at least 😅
Great, great job.
Thank you!
I haven't seen the opera, but as a native French speaker the correct translation would be probably "The Girl in the Regiment" or "The Girl from the Regiment".
Makes sense, but it's typically translated as The Daughter of the Regiment, also to tie into the story more.
@@operaanna Yeah, I see why, but I think you then lose the double entendre (daughter or a female soldier?). Actually I'd translate it as "The Girl of the Regiment". (Side note: you might be able to tell that I used to work in the translation industry).
@@ludovico6890 oh, of course. Interesting take, although she never really picks up arms to fight even though she motivates the men to do so...i think daughter is usually chosen because of the way she was found on the battlefield and subsequently raised by the regiment, but i could be wrong.
I do love a double entendre though! 🤪
The Chinese apparently translate it as "The Girl in the Army".
my favorite
Greetings from PERU
This aria is the membership card for the tenors guild. With very few exceptions, real tenors have this song in their repertoire.
I've never been a big fan of Pavarotti. But I love a London recording of Madama Butterfly where he sings Pinkerton. My favorite tenor will always be Jussi Bjorling.
Have you seen Javier Camarena in this aria? I think he looks even more childish :)
Yes!!! So good, i should've included him!!!
Massive respect to Florez, but I can only hear Pavarotti when I imagine this aria in my head. The little vid on RUclips from Pav’s peak, The Met '73 🥰
Esta senhora devia ouvir Alfredo Kraus nesta ária
Flórez >>>>>>>> Pavarotti. Yup, I said that.
👀👀👀👀
i really enjoy your channel, Good work. Can you answer a stupid question. When you learn an opera, do you just learn the words or do you understand the language or a bit of both?? Silly question, but I am curious.
Thank you! And definitely not a stupid question, no worries. I mainly sing in German, Italian, and French, and i speak varying degrees of each language (and similar words tend to pop up a lot over and over). That being said i have to translate and commit to memory everything regardless! If i don't know the meaning of a word, you can immediately *feel* it as an audience member, and i think that's true of any singer. For some reason you can just tell when someone doesn't know what they're saying, and it's a hugely important part of learning a role or a song!
Thanks. Keep up the good work
I sing this aria but only in concerts and only if I dont have another concert in the same week, because this aria kills me.... a lot. I try to sing the 8 cs but the 9th I do an a and I happy with that 😀
The C isn't even written!!! I was flabbergasted. It's a killer, I totally understand!
I'll give you my own (if utterly trivial) fun fact: my opera teacher sang with Pavarotti back in the 80s. Can't remember which opera.
😱😱😱😱😱 how you just gonna say that and walk away?! Hahah
@@operaanna True story. Her name is Claudine Côté. She did it at the beginning of her career, she won a competition or something. Will get back to you with more details about it. I feel very privileged for having learned from her, although sometimes I wished I had developed my talent more seriously.
Would you check this aria sung by Carlos Alberto Velasquez?
Pavarotti is undoubtedly one of the greatest, but the prince of tenors was Franco Corelli IMHO. Cheers
Fully obsesseddd with Corelli. I'm on a mission to get him as popular as Pavarotti. 😅 (fully unrealistic I know) I looked at his Vesti la giubba a few months ago 😍😍😍
I agree, it will be a hard task, but it is worth it...
To start, It would be nice to see an analysis from Corelli's "Celeste Aida". Cheers
@@dott.zellneradriano1494 yes! I think that will be the next one I look at, I've had quite some people request it 🥰
Chris Merrit, Rockwell Blake, ont une technique irréprochable pour ces 9 high-C. Florez chante dans le nez 👃
Pour comprendre le tilt du larynx qui est LA technique permettant d’accéder au registre aigu sans truquer ou serrer le larynx, voici l’explication physiologique du processus : ruclips.net/video/aajFNsyytsw/видео.htmlsi=oH4Nzi9BqR2po8dh
🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Unlike a lot of people, I prefer Flores in this role. I find Pav too shouty.
I go back and forth, so I totally get it! Like I said in the video, i find Florez' stage presence really "young" and therefore perfect for the role
@@operaanna I have a friend, a retired major label recorded operatic sop. and teacher who is forever teasing me about tenors, the obsession with banging out high-Cs, and less attention to the middle of the range, where most of the work is done.
Exactly!
Goddess if you care my favorite 4 tenors are LP, Mario Del Monaco, Mario Lanza, Antonio Paoli but considering Corelli. did you know A.Paoli kept breaking the gramaphone at 20 feet away facing it so they had to turn him away from it for all his recordings!!!
Please look up Santiago Ballerini. He's an astonishing rising tenor. He brought the house down at the Atlanta Opera several years ago.
Will do!
Alfredo Kraus needs to be in this video though. He was the absolute master.
He deserves an entire video to himself, an entire channel!
@@operaanna You are absolutely right. He is my role model as a tenor- my voice teacher (Martile Rowland) sang Lucia at the Met next to his Edgardo and had nothing but wonderful stories about him as both a singer and a gentleman. What a treasure that man was.
I have just discover your channel ❤ can you make a vid about Diana Munrau? Thanks.
Kraus ha sido el mejor Tonio de la historia por encima de los dos. Por estilo, dicción y longevidad vocal.
Hmm... I liked Pavarotti as well, though sopranos had their reservations - at least in part because of his partiality to garlic. Standing with 10 feet of him blasting away and all the flies dropping from the loft to their deaths. You kind of understand it. The problem with Pavarotti was that he was uneven - one night he was splendid - the next, hmm... so so.
Picking La Fille de Refiment is a choise; but I sort of like the story behind the opera L'elisir d'amour. It was sung by Enrico Caruso and he took 3 da capo's which is some panache.
Here with sung by Rolando Villazón, that repeats once - despite being asked by Schenk: "Are you sure???" Normally you don't take da capos, because it will mean risking a failure in the repitition.
If I am correct: The lead in is by the basoon - normally for the barytone.
But what I like about Villazón is he makes the sopranos sound better than they are - especially Anna Netrebko (Анна Нетребко). And she sounds much better in a duet. She has the stage presence and look (Ok, she gained weight - but so do we all).
ruclips.net/video/h8_AfrqbT5k/видео.html
Lots to unpack here...
I recall being told about the garlic "problem" now that you mention it. 👃😩 I've never read that he was uneven, though! Where can I find info on that?
I would love to do na Aria Explained on Caruso singing una furtiva lacrima- it is STUNNING. (Hmmm next tenor aria explained? 😏)
I've seen the Rolando video before, which is thrilling although encores STRAIGHT after the aria has been done always breaks the magic for me which you say as well. Not my thing so much. Hahah he was thrilling but because he just threw his voice around, and it caught up with him unfortunately...
@@operaanna Well Rolando has one thing that is essential to opera: Charm.
So much fun! You made my day🌹🌹
Ah how nice!!! You've now made mine 🥹
Florez !!!!!!!
Anna, where are your newer vids?
I just recently started posting again, so my newest is the A cenar teco from Don Giovanni! I'm sticking to a video every two weeks, but I'll be starting a Patreon very soon (Feb. 1!) where I'll have a range of things. Hopefully soon I can do 1x per weej
@@operaanna Glad to hear it. Looking forward to seeing you again. TY for responding.
I love Juan Diego Flórez and Natalie Dessay.
Pavarotti ❤❤❤❤❤
marquise is the feminine form of marquis - pronounced like mar-KEYS
if you every want any help from an american who knows french pronunciation let me know! i've helped opera singers with french dialogue before!
Did you think that this high c is more of a falsetto - a height of musical notes that many teenagers can easily reach? Pavarotti had nothing to do with that scenario - but unfortunately he is to blame. The real opera music stopped at him and from him the new "opera" began, where television is everything. Opera means: Beniamino Gigli. Callas, Corelli ,Mario Del Monaco , Tucker, Merill, and many others, forgive me for forgetting them, but this is the old generation, where voices don't have to be processed to be heard by the public no matter where they play. But if you young people want something else, and you're probably right, because the world is moving forward; ....!!!!!!!!!?????? , continue to glorify the new ones. They don't have voices but microphones, studios where their voices are changed ...... they are just ..... I can't find the right word, but if you find it you put it in parentheses, for me the one who disputes everything. ()
Hey Dan, thanks for your comment! It's interesting what you say about the high C, although I think it was Gilbert Duprez who first sang the "full chest" high C (which Rossini HATED). I'm not sure Pavarotti himself was to blame for the television-ization of opera. I would argue that theaters themselves backed themselves into a corner with that... I agree that the last 50 years or so of singers has been interesting, and the most famous singers of the time aren't necessarily the most talented. We still have some amazing singers, though! Bartoli, Didonato, Julia Bullock, and Florez(!)
That being said, I think there needs to be more light shed on old singers - planning a series.... 😉
ruclips.net/video/ARNOu2KHayo/видео.html..............What do you think? I didn't know about him because he wasn't publicized like the others, but I can just as well say that I love the tenor voice, this being the second reason I didn't hear about him. It seems like a dream, a voice from the golden years, maybe among the last ......! Cei tineri au de invatat.It is in the Romanian language and means: the young have something to learn.
@@dandaniel3488 Wow, that is a PHENOMENAL voice. So clear and bright and consistent!! Maybe the first singer for my new series...?! i need to track down everything he's recorded now!!
@@operaanna You don't even know how happy I am that you liked it? That's what you young people who go to the opera have to see and hear, you have to! The diaphragm and the voice she holds are the beauty of the work and the larynx that changes a lot over time. The diaphragm that he certainly uses professionally is what gives it quality and support. I'm not a teacher, I'm just a 58-year-old man who regrets not following his heart in his youth. And I could easily get to c4 but not c4 means opera .... Corelli was not the happiest when he had to play in c4 because the note no longer offers the necessary quality but you have to make compromises. Keep looking for the old ones. You have to learn from them. The soprano or tenor, baritone or bass used the diaphragm as the propellant of sound. And the halls vibrated at their notes without today's microphones.
Hey Dan, interesting take indeed. The Top C can sound and in truth is more falsetto in certain tenor voices (both past and present) than others. It depends on the color of the voice, the fach, the periodof the opera, the language AND YES CERTAINLY HOW RECORDED. Dan, please don`t write off young singers. Most of them worhship the demi-gods you mentioned ....why else would they consider for a moment taking on such a brutal profession ...and let's face it...a pretty tough crowd )))
Florez couldn’t shine Luciano’s shoes
Florez is worse than Domingo
yes he was a big man with a huge resonating chambers, you can't get the same sound out of a little skinny violin of a tenor as you do with a stand up bass.
so unfortunately too late to know your channel Greetings from Taiwan
Too late?? What do you mean, I'm still here! Hi, from Amsterdam!
@@operaanna which means I should have known this channel two years ago not two years later
@@Iluvatara well I'm glad you're here now ❤️❤️
@@operaanna it would be my pleasure I really can't find anyone who loves operas in my country there are only few who love
This aria belong to Pavarotti while Nessun dorma belong to Corelli and Vesti la giubba belong to Del Monaco and for Di quella pira nobody is near to Corelli.
mar'keeZe loool!
Luciano's voice was a lot more substantial than Florez with a lot less vibrato. Luciano had none of the nasal sound that Florez has. But Florez has an ability with high notes that few contemporary tenors have, but he will never get to the same level as Pavarotti.
Within the tenor sphere in terms of voice Luciano Pavarotti was without comparison except perhaps for Lanza from the film world and Caruso from the world of the opera. Domingo was a totally different type of tenor, far more dramatic and without top C and top D, Carreras again was not the same type of tenor. Again there Gigli, Schipa were totally different types of tenor.
Sono facili da fare. Io riesco, però sembro una gallina 😅
Why only 9 high c´s and not 37. Why not measure who is the loudest, who can hold the longest note, doing most trills in a row, the widest vibrato, the slowest vibrato, the most spinning vibrato. Why not also highlight for example opera Elektra (R. Strauss) and check out for how long a normal person can endure such a piece😀.
What are you even saying
Elektra, anyone impressed with this singing. Wonder why people are not interested in opera. A few high notes, some trills and the rest +2 hours this level of singing, if you even can call it singing, more of a noise production to me ruclips.net/video/GGnD-JkvWaA/видео.html 😂
@@yogajedi3337 this is even less clear. Why are you being rude to the singers in this video and trying to belittle the hard work they've put into their work and their voices? If you don't like it that's perfectly fine and you're entitled to your opinion, but please stop spamming my channel with rude comments about the singers.
what happened next in the story?
😜😜😜 Maybe I should include that in the explanation as well! Marie goes to live with the Marquise who tries to make her a 'proper lady' as it were, but she hates it and doesn't want to go through with the arranged marriage, but then the regiment and Tonio come and everyone lives happyily ever after.
Really?
I love Flores
Una voce poco fa
coming VERY SOON!
aria explained for example Ah! mio cor and vedrai carino
Love these suggestions!
Hizo a un lado a Pavarotti para la mejor parte 😐me fui🚶♂
I know right, that was my bad, they definitely shouldve been switched. I watched it back and was like why did i do that?? ... There's a new video of ONLY Pavarotti coming soon. hope you'll stay for the full one of that!
@@operaanna Es evidente que te gusta mas Juan Diego, por eso lo hiciste y esta bien, es valido y se respeta. Mucha gente prefiere a Caruso, yo prefiero a Pavarotti pero disfruto a cualquiera que cante bien y en este caso también me gusto la versión de Juan Diego. Lo que me atrajo al video fue ver la opinión de alguien que también disfruta a Pavarotti, ver que le apasiona igual que a mi, pero al hacerlo a un lado por Juan Diego pues... Me equivoque aquí no era. Por ello gracias por la invitación al nuevo video pero siento que será fingido o solo descriptivo por eso no estaré pendiente de el.
@Bandarte haha i definitely enjoy Caruso and the older singers, it's just really hard to find videos of them! Even with Pavarotti that was the case. i will be doing more videos that incorporate older singers in 2023, not just with video. Not sure what you mean by that it's fake or descriptive, I'm just trying to entertain with opera and when i made the video these 2 singers seemed like a good fit for the video!
What about Javier Camarena?
I definitely need to feature him in this series!
Вот ей-богу, зла не хватает! Не существовало и не существует в мире других теноров??? А Rockwell Blake и Alfredo Kraus, которые совершенно бесподобно пели Тонио? Зациклились на Паваротти🤨
Umm sorry i can't read Russian, but if you're asking why i didn't include Rockwell Blake or Alfredo Kraus in the video, there are a lot of amazing singers and I just decide to go with Pav and Floris for this one. I would LOVE to do a video with Blake and Kraus though. They're amazing!
I saw Javier Camarena at the Met. I think he is better than either Pavarotti or Flórez. he has so much fun in the role and I think his tone is incredible
They are so different types of tenors and for this particular role, Flores’ voice seems to fit the character. But my favorite is Javier Camarena, having cuteness and power in one package.
comparing a once in a lifetime legend with a bleating sheep.
Florez is so nasal and ingolato
Useless.
?
There are no nine high c’s, i heard only 4 but actually they are bflats.
@@phoebusapollo4677 well I didn't check the tuning, but in the score they are most definitely C's. Sometimes compression needed to upload to RUclips changes the pitch. And other than that I literally have a counter so unless you didn't watch all the way through, I don't know how you got 4 😅
@@operaanna I have perfect pitch. And I have trained as a Hindustani Classical singer of the Benares Gharana , and then trained on a full scholarship at the Rome Conseratoire as a lyric tenor with Gianni Bavaglio.
@@phoebusapollo4677 I didn't mean to imply that you're not hearing something other a Bflat. What I meant is that they are written Cs and the upload must have changed it. Since you studied classical music you will know the aria
I’ll admit Pavarotti is good but Diego Flores sucks
Yep, too nasally and reedy
Please check out Brownlee or Ballerini or both to hear for yourself.
