When I watched this for the first time on TV I felt the urge to kneel down and praise the suffering father trying not to lose face and remaining the noble gentleman.
My favorite production of La Traviata, with Anna Netrebko. Very emotional performance overall. First time I watched it ( 24 years ago?) I was crying! 😭

PFG666 Those that muffle the words to achieve a false "darkness" aren't doing anything justice. It should be both, ideally. Very dark and sonorous but also clear and bright. Chiaroscuro.
XxSaruman82xX No he doesn’t. I’ve seen him at the Met before performing this exact role, he sounded as light as the tenor singing rodolfo that night and anytime the orchestra played mezzo-forte or louder, you simply couldn’t hear anything he was singing
@@xxsaruman82xx87 I've heard rumors about how Alfredo's father sounded more like his brother from this production. But seeing Hampson, it all makes sense
Well, what a revelation! Having heard Fischer‐Diskauu's competent but less than totally successful 'attempt' at this aria I had reservations about Hampson tackling it but by jove he nails it and in my opinion much better than F‐D. He's not up there with the mighty rich textured voices of the past but I'm nonetheless astounded by the achievenent given that his general repertoire encompases lighter material. And I wholeheartedly agree with those commentators who praise his excellent diction. I can only repeat, what a revelation...
The voice isn't bad, just way too light for my liking. Listening to baritones like Macneil, Capuccilli, Warren, and Ruffo and then listening to Hampson, it sounds like I'm listening to a tenor, not a verdi baritone.
agree totally, so high, but people only cares of the reputation, love to have Dimitri or ton of other father voices here, in deed, he is more methotical less deep feeling and details...
What idiocy to carp about Hampson's voice being too light or too tenorish. This is a LYRIC baritone role unlike most Verdi baritones. Verdi uses dolce to emphasize the sweetness of the sound that needs to be vocalized and Hampson is perfect (despite his wooden stage movements)
Difiero respetuosamente. Hampson posee un excelente registro y un timbre hermosisimo, óptimo para una buena gama de repertorio, pero no para Verdi. El aria posee unos cuantos agudos exigentes pero eso no justifica lo parecidas que suenas las voces. Como testimonio, están Bruson, Capuccilli, Bastianini, Tezier y muchos otros capaces de lograr dichos agudos sin que su voz sea semejante a la de un tenor.
Hampson = tenore corto,è un fatto. cosa c'è in comune fra la vocalità meravigliosa di Bastianini e questo giovane entusiasta?... niente. poi Bruson aveva il suo modo unico di porgere. Cappuccilli molto diverso da Bruson,un altro grande. Tezier un ragazzo giovane bravo e intelligente chi canta al modo suo e che non gioca nel loro campionato... ma Bastianini ? Bastianini era semplicemente un dio. è ovvio che Hampson è un tenore corto chi sta cantonando con una vocina poco bella. dal vivo è così. ciao.
Ho voluto confrontare la qualità e le caratteristiche della vera voce da baritono con cui Hampson possiede. Oggi è facile trovare baritoni cantano ruoli per la sua voce non è adatto. Si prega di scusare il mio cattivo italiano.
El subtitulo no se interrumpe nunca, las ultimas frases del aria son repetición, y en los subtitulos y/o libretos de ópera lo que se repite nunca se vuelve a traducir, hay que prestar atención al libreto italiano. No se frustra ninguna comprensión...
too high tenor, not mid social afraid father at paris high society worrying of his family name, too young, there are tons of great ones, this is like a substitute teacher rushed into the class due to someone call sick suddenly...
@@xxsaruman82xx87 I dare listen to the D-flat at the end of the recitativo and say it again with a straight face. Does his voice fit verdi? Absolutely not. Is he a lyric or spinto tenor? Hell no. He is a very high light baritone. If his voice was heavier/had more stamina he could propably fight himself through some heldentenor roles. But lyric tenor? No way in hell. it's the same type of voice that Fischer-Dieskau had. Not very well suited to italian opera baritone roles, but also clearly not a tenor. But extremely well suited to mozart, lied and some french opera.
@@AT-zr9tv I didn't say that. One can listen to both if he wants it, obviously. I only said that Bastinanini is better than Bruson, even if Bruson is great.
This, for me at least, is the only Verdian role Hampson should sing; and he sings it well. Germont pere is largely a lyrical role, which does not call for the sheer vocal size and thrust required for Rigoletto, Rodrigo, Boccanegra, Macbeth, Carlo -- note how the orchestral backing of "Di Provenza" largely comprises strings). The production is absurd at best, at worst stupid. But that's another topic.
Una vocetta con dizione piuttosto comica. In verità, da un po' di tempo evito di seguire le "novità" nell'ambito del canto lirico, perché le trovo degradanti. Molto meglio ascoltare vecchi dischi e CD oppure ciò che passa la Rete.
Pronuncia italiana ripassata in Somalia, interpretazione e stile degni di Compar Alfio dopo la bevuta, ma cose del genere che le interpreta a fare? Si può fare un ascolto comparato con l'interpretazione di Giorgio Zancanaro, per capire cosa significa cantare quest'aria.
I did not know "di provenza" was written by Schubert...😂 He is anything but a Verdi baritone and in my opinion he is not even a baritone but a tenor with a lack of singing high notes - a "baritenor". Same was Fischer Diskau.
The two singers' acting is very bad; Specialy Mr. Hampson' . His melody pace is too rapid, he does not seem an old- loving -tender -man, begging his son to return to Provence . His voice is too light for this character, he sholud be singing Figaro and Don Giovanni; those are for his instrument. The scenario too modern. Should have been more vintage. Sorry, I am old fashioned.
people cares of his tall looks more, your point is so obvious, yet his name is still so high there, many times not sure if he should be a tenor, but at very least he could had tune down and acting down into the old troubled worried mid class social concious father in that kind of high highest society of PARIS, there is no excuse of not doing so, where is the artist director, afraid of mr. hampson's name too much!
Yeah, he looks and sounds a bit too young for the role...I think he should’ve played the son instead. I think Figaro would’ve fit him more because of his seemingly youthful looks and sounds. Compare this to Matthew Polenzani, who, when he did Verdi, Sung the role of Macduff (a much lighter role than the others)-he sticks to his fach.

Very lyric voice. Not for Verdi. Never learned the coperto in F, F# on A/O vowels. You can’t sing Barbers and Papagenos forever.
