Verdi - Don Carlos Opéra National de Paris 19/10/2017 Acte 2: "Je viens solliciter de la reine une grâce" ("Io vengo a domandar grazia") Sonya Yoncheva - Jonas Kaufmann Philippe Jordan
So heartbreaking 😢 What an amazing performance from both of them, but, my goodness, Jonas Kaufmann is so magnificent in this. His Carlos breaks my heart.
Act 2, Scene 2 Grand Scena and Duet, from Don Carlos French version. Very beautifully sung and it is really heart-breaking. In this version Elizabeth is more severe. In the 2013 Salzberg Festival DVD (my favorite) Elizabetta doesn't slap Don Carlo.
Does anyone know where I can purchase the full version for download? I love, LOVE this performance and since the full length got taken down, I really miss it.
Dear Marcia as you are so extremely kind maybe you know some source to download covid prison Parsifal with Kaufmann / Garanca / Texier / Koch etc? I watched it and it wasn't my cup of tea, but voices are here and it is worth of downloading, isn't it? Unfortunately I haven't done it un a right time so search it now Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Just dreadful. This is not Verdi. I like Kaufmann but Verdi is not for him. So unnatural. Nothing could be worse than this setting. Go to Alagna and Matilla, also sung in french, for a true verdian account of this masterpiece.
I don't agree. If you watch the whole thing (available on OPERA ON VIDEO) you will get a clearer idea of the production and how it works......I absolutely LOVED it. (And yes, I loved Luc Bondy's production with Alagna and Mattila as well).
