Nobody can deny the beautiful voice of Carreras in his earlier life. It was a God given instrument like Di Stefano it didn’t last but appreciate what did .
My word, this is unbelievably good. His voice in this is just magnificent. I've heard this sung by many brilliant tenors but this might be the quintessential version. So rich, powerful, controlled and emotional, just the ultimate tenor performance.
The most splendid Cavaradossi I have seen&heard. Jose Carreras is in a league of his own. Pity there are not more recordings to be watched and enjoyed forevermore by fans
@@garyroberts3859 thats because he went through cancer and lost the virility and strength his voice had. Also, the three tenors concert was not indicative of the way the singers sang. The singing there was terrible! The concert was monetarily successful and that's great, but you should listen to them singing the various arias in their prime.
@@tenoremodernotecnicavecchi2151 thank you I do listen to different tenors and have since I was 14 and my mother bought me a Richard Tauber record. I’m now 76 and Tauber and L. Melchior were my favourites then and still are. From what you said you have a far greater understanding than I do and I always appreciate learning more.
@@garyroberts3859 both tauber and Melchior are great singer! Have you tried Tucker, Di Stefano, Corelli, Del Monaco, or Gigli? Those are a few singers you might enjoy as well.
Oh dear, who sings so beautifully these days? All modern tenors should listen carefully to this rendition in order to learn what true singing is about. And wonderful acting as well. Bravissimo maestro.
presumably music politics in America and the Met in particular. The career perhaps involved vertical invasion into a den where established interests were firmly entrenched (PD, LP). One vaguely recalls Carreras being horribly abused by Bernstein for some reason, which one assumes signified the kiss of death. The situation might probably be told in a paragraph; no time for the multi-volume televisual biopics (where the truth is hardly likely to make an appearance in any case).
You might like this one with the 20 second diminuendo in one breath, at around 1min 50 seconds... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T-RrG4sfdis.html
al tempo era proprio adattissimo al ruolo. lo squillo era incredibilmente potente, la voce salda ed il fraseggio studiatissimo. complimenti, davvero straordinario.
@@marcodefelicis6375 grazie alla tua risposta, ho potuto riapprezzare questo splendida interpretazione, soprattutto il legato che nel commento iniziale non avevo sottolineato a dovere. Sì, fu proprio un biglietto ben pagato quello di chi ebbe la fortuna di gustare lo spettacolo...
Un Jose Carreras que nunca tuve oportunidad de escuchar en mi juventud.!!! Sublime!!! A tener en cuenta esta interpretacion es de quiza 20 o mas años atras antes que Carreras sufriera cruel enfermedad de la cual se recupero pero con mermas en su voz lamentablemente.!!!
[...]entrava ella, fragrante... ...mi cadea fra le braccia. oh dolci baci, oh languide carezze[...] che parole soavi, svanite esattamente come i miei ricordi...
"Languid caresses" indeed! His gorgeous voice and affecting performance caress us, reminding each listener of the dear and beautiful things in life. In this role Carreras invites us to love and to love life.
Tuve que ver varios videos de Jose Carrera porque me parecía increíble que tuviera tan magnífica voz. Yo lo escuché mucho después cuando ya no sonaba igual. Una magnífica joya.
I’ve always been drawn to this mystical, sad but beautiful world of Tosca. actually, this is one of my favourite songs among a lot of operatic songs and I think Mr. Carreras just knows how to pull out the sorrow, sadness and beauty in this particular song so nicely! I like Mr. Pavarotti’s and Mr. Domingo’ version of this song equally beautiful, but I know Mr. Carreras was one of my favourite singer among the three tenors as a child! One day, I hope to see Tosca again even if it may not be sang by mr Carreras or Mr. Domingo.
Carreras dia cinco setenta e três anos sempre um grande vencedor lutando. ..saúde. ..sucesso. ..alegria. ..sabe que seus continuam rezando por você .parabéns. ..bravo. Deus te abençoe. Ilumine sempre Felicidade
Bellissima interpretazione, 💎 E Lucean le Stelle... Magnifica,, la mia romanza Preferita... Da sempre, l'ascolto,, chiudo gli occhi.. E la.. Respiro.. ✨✨✨💎
Quanto bello - entrambi l'uomo e questa voce divina. Qui, la propria anima intera lui da' con tale forza, il suono perfora il mio cuore come una spada. E piango tanto. Josep e' un regalo.
Τρυφερός, αισθαντικός καί ταυτόχρονα παθιασμένος μέ τήν τέχνη του. Στήν Ελλάδα τόν εχουμε πάντα στήν καρδιά μας από τίς εμφανίσεις του στό Ωδείο Ηρώδου του Αττικού . Νά ειναι πάντα καλά......
