Duet - Don Carlo - Sherrill Milnes & Vasile Moldoveanu, Met, 1980 

Necunoscut petru că rămăsese în străinătate și numele nu mai putea fi pomenit în România comunistă, care l-a condamnat la moarte, dealtfel.

Almost in tune. But it's better than in general :).

He was not a great actor, obviously. But here both just walk and sing, and everything is in Verdi's music anyway...

Definitely, specially Milnes

I came for 0:56 😁

lol. You guessed.

Yes, it's Scotto. Philip was Paul Plishka.

@@despreopera Thanks, grazie.

The best tenor the wold caruso

@Barone Vitellio Scarpia But Moldoveanu is lightyears ahead of Domingo.

@Barone Vitellio Scarpia Me too. Especially Corelli.

@Barone Vitellio Scarpia Indeed.

@Barone Vitellio Scarpia Absolutely.

preferisco coni e pavarotti diretti da muti alla scala

@Barone Vitellio Scarpia Agreed. Though Moldoveneau is great, as are Bergonzi, Labo, etc. and Carreras gave it a good stab. Domingo's recording is from 1970, when he was in most youthful voice. He is OK there, and the remainder of the cast, bar Raimondi, is excellent.

@Barone Vitellio Scarpia I agree.

@Barone Vitellio Scarpia Of course.

Don’t forget Corelli and Milnes’ version.

These guys are great.

@Barone Vitellio Scarpia Totally agree! This performance should have been available on DVD, not the other way around!

@Barone Vitellio Scarpia That's what I meant!

@Barone Vitellio Scarpia Yes!

Your not funny

+Ellen Edgerton Because they are singing correctly with support (unlike just about everybody singing today). Opera singing is done correctly with great pressure created in the body not the throat.

Yeah, but you don't necessarily have to stand just like they're standing to "support" correctly. I think it's more likely the case that those Renaissance doublets they're wearing tend to force the body into that type of position.

gosh, I thought you knew - part of the contract for singing at the MET includes singing with a cattle prod up your arse!

They are ‘noble’ and that is opera acting. 😅

What an idiotic comment. The man forgot more about singing than you'll ever know. His reputation as one of the greatest baritones of all time is internationally known. So who the hell are you??

Absurd comment

I much prefer and always have many other great baritones to Milnes. His voice (after mid 70s, ) seemed manufactured., Pushed , and seemed like different productions in different parts of the scale. However I knew singers who sang with him in his youth, ( 60s and early 70s). One lady told me Milnes made a Soprano he was singing with sound like an overtone in his voice! Milnes of course had a far greater stage appearance than most baritones. I prefer vocal greats like Bonelli, protti, stracciari, Tagliabue, Merrill, JCT, even sereni (who didn't have the loudest sound). By many accounts Milnes is and was very personable. He told a voice teacher I knew, he was friendly to others in opera on the way up, because he knew on the inevitable future decline of his career he wanted others to be nice to him. Another wonderful voice teacher I knew who sang internationally (but more in comic roles)...simply said "Milnes always forced when he was younger, but later could only sing by forcing." But he obviously had a large voice with easy(even if overtly hooking into them) high notes....and a very powerful, commanding stage presence.

@@Michael-mh4vr I feel you are right, it does sound manufactured and unbalanced to me too and his acting also a bit limited. Nevertheless he does a pretty decent job overall. In this particular I find the tempo rather rushed as well. I know this scene by heart but at first hearing, I think most of it would be lost on even an Italian speaker.

Horrible barking? Ahahahahahahahah! If you meant Dmitry Hvorostovsky, then I can agree with you.
