Nothing to add to your commentaries. Real life friends Carreras and Cappuccilli in Verdi's best opera! What a moving performance! I can't help crying whenever Piero sings that!
Io penso che questa pagina sia talmente meravigliosa ed espressiva già sulla carta che tantissimi bravi baritoni hanno dato interpretazioni meravigliose. E Cappuccilli non fa certo eccezione.
Truly moving. I find Cappuccilli's rendering of Rodrigo's arias very pleasing -- very listenable and convincingly acted. Even though Carreras has only a few lines in this scene, he adds a lot of emotional and dramatic impact -- just watch his gestures and facial expressions. The few lines also give a good hint of the tenor's voice in its prime. The English subtitles convey the meaning of the Italian text very well. This video is a winner -- 5/5.
Vero, Walter. Una voce impressionante quello baritono che mi ha fatto pensare al brano che spedisco con Cappuccilli anche conmovente, no? Un saluto, Lesley
