Domingo & Chernov - La Forza del Destino - Ivano Alvaro 

Salva Myl Tenía 54 años. A esa edad había tenores q le dan 40 vueltas. Ya está bien de tanto marketing y de q la gente por ese motivo vea a un tenor griton, monocorde y voz engolada lo traten como a un dios por todo lo anteriormente expuesto. Y ahora de baritono mejor ni hablamos...

Domingo es de otro planeta, hasta los trolls que le critican ven sus videos

Chernov is a fascinating figure. In the Met production of Stiffelio he looks almost exactly like Sherrill Milnes. As for Domingo, I think he's actually a little past his prime here, although he still provides a phenomenal performance. He had more power in the late 70s and 80s

@@commandert5 What was the greatest change the world had to deal with when the Soviet union fell? At the time I said, it released the baritones. All at once the best operatic baritones all seemed to be Russians. Sergei Lieferkus, Dimitri Hvorostovsky and Chernov. No one in the West had much knowledge of any of them but all at once Chernov was the principal Verdi baritone at the Met, I heard Leiferkus as Prince Igor in San Francisco and Hvorovstovsky became a media star like Pavarotti. Leiferkus had the least impressive voice but was absolutely great on stage. Chernov here is also a sensational actor. I never saw Hovorovtosky live. But if you tell me he acted as well as he sang, I'm prepared to believe you. I don't know about all Russian singers but it seems as if they prepare their their opera singer very well. I heard Chernov several times at SF Opera. He was very good but his voice wasn't completely settled. His top was a bit shaky. But he moved over to the Met and when I heard him on TV and records he had brought it under control. Then he seemed to disappear. In the old days of the Met Auditions they used to have age categories. Tenors, as I remember could only compete until they were 25. baritones had until they were 28 and basses could wait until they were 32. I 'm a bass so I got to auditioned when I had become 32. It was still a little to early for me. I never really sang properly until I was 65. This gave me only a few years when I was any good. I think baritones need more time. Certainly basses do. Bjorling was the best tenor on earth when he was 24 but Wizell, Chernov and Zancanagro all appeared at SF Opera in big roles before they were quite ready. All three had techniques not quite completed and settled. What was the greatest change in the world when the Soviet Union fell?

Domingo es un excelente músico y supo muy bien sacarle provecho a la musicalidad de muchos compositores!!!

He's also past his prime here. There is a 1977 recording with Miles and Price which he is spectacular in

@@commandert5 I'm sure He was, I also heard Domingo in a Trovatore in the late 1970s on the radio, where I thought He was terrific. But by the mid 1980s and even earlier, He was having trouble with high notes and was squeezing in the passaggio.

You dont half talk such crap. Unless your Operatic World is centered on a a handful of hasbeens, to you everything else is rubbish. Dont be such a Bigot and get l life.

@@waynewilliams4706h Hasbeens? because they are no longer alive? Is Domingo also a has been because he has not sung in a tenor role for over 10 years? Or is he not a hasbeen because he's alive? You must have missed my compliment below about hearing Domingo in Trovatore in the 1970s. You can skip the bigot comment that's ridiculous and doesn't fly. Thank God for the has beens that were greater than the never was.

@@sugarbist This is not the first time that you have made unkind remarks about Domingo, there have been countless occasions on you tube,far too many to mention. Your Operatic World is centered around a handful of singers from the past. If you have to be critical, do it in a constructive way and forget the word Biased. Dont think you know it all. All the genuine critics i read about compere singers in a knowledgeable genuine way.
