Boy, that was incredible. I’m just imagining now what Caruso and Ruffo would have sounded like in the flesh singing this. Their recording just gives us a hint.
Have had this video since it came out. Love Milnes who I saw in concert. So awesome. One of my favorite operas. Then I so lucky to see Franco Corelli it it!!
do you like that he molested as many of his fellow female singers that he could. he would stalk, harass, threaten them with job loss unless they co operated, they all knew never to get into an elevator with Domingo. he gave one woman 10 dollars for parking and said, I didn't want to leave a lot and make you feel like a whore. he visited Argentina often because prostitution is legal there, he would say bring the little girls up the back way (a recorded telephone conversation) he cant sing, he strains and drools, and forces his muffled gargle voice trying to sing as well as pavarotti, whom he was alway jealous of. 20 girls came forward with molesting charges, and he was banned in the US. he should be banned every where, he is disgusting.
Maestro Milnes went and doubled that final tenor note... ...so please understand that, if in attendance, after these titans got through (and I am referring to everybody on that stage, because that orchestra is just beyond superlatives...), the paramedics would have had to carry me out strapped to a stretcher, weeping uncontrollably in a state of unhinged ecstatic bliss. Thank you, Giuseppe Verdi, for the historic gemstone of a opera that is OTELLO. I need to lie down.
Just sad that he can't sing a nice b flat. Everything else is fine but pinched. Not his best. He is great in other things. Has had some great performances. But, please don't try to tell me these are great high notes. THEY ARE NOT! Sorry for the negativity. I really like Domingo. Othello, IL Tabarro. Spanish songs like no puede ser. So many great performances and yet so many disappointing high notes. But what a career and what a musician. I apologize for my frustration with this tenor.
What I really like about Domingo is that he never tries to show how cool he is, how talented he is, he never shows off, he sings songs and music, not himself.
I've never heard this done any better than this magical moment in time! I will never forget this! I hear it my dreams sometimes....I shum or sing parts or this aria ( a la Domingo) sometimes withoout knowing I'm doing it! Divinity.
Им поздно,спешите ,вокальное помешательство определить достаточно легко,как и степень вокального дарования.Время лучший диагност,доживите.Э.Карузо обошёлся обращался к фониатру ,тогда это был ЛОР-врач,ему 7 раз удаляли noduli vocali,но периоды острой психотической реакции он не избежал.Мы оценили Ваш комментарий ,как и пение испанца,когда оно приходило к своему вокальному уровню,но его изначальный голос вернулся,он сумел стать успешным,но для превосходящих его уровень ,как вокалист он сомнителен.Не сходите с ума мы все перманентно клиенты,а наши предки избежали этого.Они бессмертны и умирают вместе с нами.Всегда благодарен за любой отзыв ,хотя крайне редко что-либо комментирую,sapienti sat. Напиши комментарий и откроется не только ящик Пандоры,но и крышки гробов.Забавляйтесь дальше,успешного доминирования.
What beautiful color and dimension his voice has always had, even in later years. Always such fun and brimming with energy. Bravo, as always, Sherrill.
