Richard Tucker distanzia chiunque anche se Shicoff e' molto bravo e nella parte ed ha il timbro giusto. Eleazar e simile alla Medea di Cherubini o a Violetta, se non hai un timbro specifico e' meglio mollare.
I am myself a tenor. I often hear your video singing this aria. I congratulate you for this magnificent performance, full of emotion and the right Jewish touch. I am myself of Jewish descent (Sephardic) but I don't think I could have performed it, in this special way, full of sorrow. Yours, NICOLA TAGGER
RAMMENTO questo eccelso artista in tale ruolo alla Fenice di Venezia in una storica edizione alla cui preparazione ed esecuzione ho avuto l'onore di collaborare.........un interprete di rara grandezza dotato oltre che di una voce stupenda anche di una capacità espressiva assai profonda e coinvolgente.....
This is one of the most tragic arias in all of opera. And Maestro Schicoff sings it brilliantly. One can hear the self-blsme, the guilt and remorse along with his gorgeous voice. Bravo.
It's not only a tragic aria but a very tragic opera based on a true story ending in execution of daughter and her adoptive father by the Cardinal who was her real real father who right during execution was told by Eleasar that Rachel was his daughter.
I actually saw him singing Eleazar several times in Vienna. It is definitely one of my most remarkable memories in all my many nights in an opera. What an artist
@@mariofilippeschi4855 He got so many issues and vocally too, this one is when he came back after those vacant years. I love his timbre, squillo and A+ acting skill.
@@mariofilippeschi4855 I was told recently about this training short period with Corelli. Actually it was counter productive to him since once he used Corelli's method, his voice changed in bad ways, since he is not the same type of singer. Neil has to undo the habits of what was taught by C. Of course, this is not told publically.
I was actually in the audience for one of these performances, and can attest that this live was incredible. A truly great and sadly often overlooked artist. Many thanks for posting.
Every few months I listen to this to remind myself why we do this. Truly a momentous performance. Musically, dramatically and vocally stunning. This is the power of opera.
Fabulous. Acting, singing, technique, emotion, a very beautiful tone: masterful. Neil Shicoff was (is) one of the greatest tenors ever. It's a little bit like putting Björling and Corelli in a mixer.
Neil's singing of this aria wipes out ALL others, including Caruso. His French is impeccable, as is his acting. He was the whole package. Most opera lovers go for the voice. Wrong!! It takes a lot more than voice to do this role and Neil cannot be bested in all categories. He acts with his voice as well as all his other faculties.
Petite correction : pour la française que je suis, sa diction est loin d'être impeccable. Je ne comprends pas tout ce qu'il chante et pourtant je connais les paroles de cette aria
+SHICOFF1 Hi! Steve! I was in St. Petersburgo last week! I've seen Niel in "La Juive"! He was outstandig!! So beautiful sounded his voice in Mikhailovsky Theater! He was in Great form!! Much beter , when I've head him in Vienna in "Queen of Spades". I met him after performance. Go to my channel please, if you want. Olga.
Right up there with the greatest Jewish tenors such as Schmidt,Tucker,Peerce,Tauber Etc. He appears to have become the most neglected of all the greats of his or of any age. Bravo! TY.
I think I'm in love (lqtm). This performance is tremendous. He has it all, the voice, the acting and almost a kind of dance that portrays the emotion. Wow !!!!
I sang in the chorus when he soloed with us (Boston chorus Opera). He's the greatest! Sad that he didn't sing more in Boston, and I'm not sure he sang much, at all, at the Met in NY. This was many years ago.
Shicoff had the finest voice among American tenors of the last 40-odd years. Here and there he pushes it a bit, and his vibrato widens accordingly. But overall, his work here is both beautiful and exciting --
Who else could sing that song with such perfection and true reproductions of Halevy's emotions ? I was lucky to see and listen Neil Shicoff some years ago in the Paris Opera Bastille Production. A great opera.
You were very fortunate to have heard this exceptionally moving aria (and the entire opera) sung by one of the greatest, in person . I read the plot of this opera and am just heart broken. Both Rachel and Eleazar were memorable people. The most heart wrenching statement comes from Rachel, after hearing the pleas of Eleazar to tell the officials that she wasn't really Jewish, that she was saved from the fire that burned her own home down by Eleazar who raised her as his own daughter. Her piercing words were, "I was raised a Jew; and I will die a Jew."
Bravo Maestro! una joya para nuestras almas! un interpretación sublime, única! irrepetible! gracias por su inspiración y arte escénico, que gran sabiduría!
Wonderful masterpiece of Fromental Halévy! Neil Shicoff is (in my personal opinion) "the" Eleazar, and his amazing voice as well as his acting, make me completely believe in what is happening to him... Thanks for posting this jewel. My best, Raquel Barbieri
Creo que el maestro Shicoff, será un hombre muy feliz, por que después de tanto estudio, preparación y seguro que sacrificios, en esta interpretación ha conseguido, la "la perfección absoluta", o lo que yo llamo "interpretación máxima"casi imposible de superar, ese día todo lo que ha sido como cantante se transfomó en tal colosal y sublime interpretación, mi profundo respeto y admiración. BRAVO MAESTRO!!!!!!!!!!!
Yo lo llamo interpretación de referencia. Aunque se toma muchas libertades en tiempo y terminaciones de frase, ha logrado una interpretación única. El mejor Eleazar.
This is the ONLY time I have heard this sung as if it was an actual cantor singing a mournful prayer in synagogue It’s not far off from hearing a Kaddish or even Kol Nidre. He NAILED it.
He gives me goose bumps! I heard him at the Met in Faust.. while good. This is something else ! Brava!!!!!! This is some real singing !! It doesnt get better than this
Great!! my God I didn't know him before but I am more than impressed!!I was in Vienna this year but I didn't have the chance to listen to him. Bravo!! The most touching interpretation i have ever heard. I know nothing about the story but he still thrilled me! Thanks a lot for posting!!
Saw him live in Tel Aviv singing this role some years back, when he apparently felt ill but still went on - this did not deter from the performance. A once in a lifetime experience.
Escuché este aria a Schicoff en un recital y me quedé gratamente sorprendida, me conmovió profundamente. Creo que en esta obra llega al summum de su arte. Un tenor fantástico, de los que hoy quisiéramos tener muchos. Bravo, Schicoff
Si. Es la interpretación de referencia que deja para la historia. Los cantantes de la segunda mitad del siglo XXI le escucharán como referencia. No tiene rival en este papel. Su arte en su máxima expresión

No hubo ni habrá cantante alguno que pueda hacer esta aria como lo hizo el, es GLORIOSO.

Amazing performance! Beyond beautiful and moving. Bravo! A great moment on the operatic stage by one of the greatest tenors of our time.
Straordinario. Da far venire i brividi. Che artista.
How many times have I returned to this remarkable performance? This is truly one of the great moments in opera.
This great artist wrings out every ounce of meaning and emotion in this wonderful piece. Bravo Maestro Shicoff !

I listened Him at theater la Fenice
His voice a miracle of nature .Thank great Neil Shikof
THis is phenomenal, perfect acting, perfect singing, he feels the character and plays the part wonderfully.
God granted me a gift when he allowed me to see Shicoff live in this production!
Wow! That is truly a blessing.
Thats more than singing My blood freezes.
This is one of the most tragic arias in all of opera. And Maestro Schicoff sings it brilliantly. One can hear the self-blsme, the guilt and remorse along with his gorgeous voice. Bravo.
Close the eyes and listen. Feel the sadness and anguish transmitted through the singing

@@BytomGirl - I didn't know La Juive was based on a true story. How tragic.
This performance, to me, is so perfect, that it makes it impossible, for a while, to listen to somebody else singing this!
I actually saw him singing Eleazar several times in Vienna. It is definitely one of my most remarkable memories in all my many nights in an opera. What an artist
Bravo, Mr. Shicoff! A performance for the ages!
This is BRILLIANT by a Maestro!!!❤❤❤❤
Fantastic!
I have no words, this performance is gorgeous...thanks a lot.
It is one of the very few moments in the opera history!!!! SHICOFF THE GREAT!!!
he sounds and becomes that old man! Naturally goes through... Master class of highest standard... Bravo!!!
He was forged by Franco Corelli no doubt.

Quelle émotion grand artiste grand ténor un bonheur de l’entendre dans cette aria superbe BRAv0
quel artiste merveilleux qui vit ses personnages chapeau Maestro je vous aimerai toujours
Such beautiful and heartfelt singing.

@@basyl7794 ce n'est pas ainsi important quand on écoute such a great tenor :)
Agree 100%.. well said!
well stated, "whole package", Neil is so crafted and sounds so natural, authentic... certainly best to me!
Your on another planet if you think anyone comes close to Caruso in this Aria
Perfect! He does it so deeply and with such anguish as none of his great colleagues.
Mind blowing 🤯. Good standard for this aria. ❤❤❤
I am speechless, so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes..
Perfect combination of singing, acting - I've heard them 'all' and Shicoff (for me) is one of the 'greatest'.
Incredible superb! Amazing rendition, wonderful tecknique!! Bellissima voce!!! One and only Neil Shicoff!! many thanks for posting this gem!!!

Amazing..moving and most well sung...Bravo dear sir
I heard him first time in this aria and I could not stop the tears... amazing... and then I listened to others.. his Lensky is out of this world...
This has got to be one of the best performances in the history of opera...
It is true that some performance fo beyond mere praise. This is a fine singer at his full artistic peak, It is a honor to be in his presence.
Wow If that was the most moving performance I've ever seen!! Spectacular
Magische Sternstunde der Oper. Shicoff darstellerisch und sängerisch ein Ereignis.
This is beyond masterful, it's out of this world!!
Voce Meravigliosa ! unica il mondo
The most appropriate piece I can think of for this time of year. A beautiful, too seldom performed opera. And Shicoff was masterful in this role.
Абсолютный шедевр 🎉❤❤
Right up there with the greatest Jewish tenors such as Schmidt,Tucker,Peerce,Tauber Etc. He appears to have become the most neglected of all the greats of his or of any age. Bravo! TY.
Pour moi le meilleur dans cet opéra
When an Artist seems to reach perfection even if they tell you there is no such a thing.
I think I'm in love (lqtm). This performance is tremendous. He has it all, the voice, the acting and almost a kind of dance that portrays the emotion. Wow !!!!
Très grand ténor bravo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don't get tired to listen this piece
I saw him sing this at the Met in 2004 or 05. He was magnificent.
I sang in the chorus when he soloed with us (Boston chorus Opera). He's the greatest! Sad that he didn't sing more in Boston, and I'm not sure he sang much, at all, at the Met in NY. This was many years ago.
Je ne m'en lasse pas...
Outstanding!
Beautiful.Thank you for posting♫♪ ॐ¸¸.•*¨*•♫

I am happy of your comment. I don't deserve any thanks. The all merit goes to Halevy and to Shikoff

@memokin06
He was born in 1949, so here, he's 53-54 yrs. old.
