The clip were the judges were in tears at the end was on the BBC IPlayer website for a while, but sadly it's now been removed and it doesn't appear to be anywhere on RU-vid.
Great voice, near perfect technique. I think in the theatre his singing is even more exciting. His top notes sound fabulous here, clear and smooth. His acting could be a bit more involved, it’s very controlled now and for my taste could be a bit bigger and seems he needs to own that he is a star more. But really what a beautiful ending!
This aria is often sung at the Cardiff competition, and as a regular there, I have heard it many times. Previously, it has struck me as rather dull. Not any more. I joined the jury member in tears.
I was looking for a version of this aria for my playlist and there are so very few - how can that be?! - and finally I had to concede that this was the best. Fine voice though I wasn’t as wowed by this rendition as the judges were. He will go far, though!
@@moishemillerr Yes, of course I did. But I was never a great fan of Herman Prey. As I said there are very few renditions available on yt. I would have liked to hear Thomas Allen do this in German, but his version is in English, not what I was looking for.
I am sure that with this well-deserved win, opera houses will be queuing to sign him up for bigger and better roles although I expect he will now be travelling all over the world. He has a beautiful voice - a world class voice xx
