Carreras presents the whole package on stage -- exquisite voice, beautiful movement, handsome face, believable acting, the romantic hero par excellence, indeed the one we should fall in love with.
Gli acuti non sono propriamente squillanti, ma il modo in cui addolcisce e sottolinea frasi come "Tu azzurro hai l'occhio, Tosca l'occhio nero", anziché cantarle di spinta, è semplicemente splendido.
Carreras in the 70's......what could be better? Strong, passionate, expressive, resounding, magnificent. His extreme vocal integrity plus taking roles not a good vocal match have left him with no voice at this age, but when he sang in his prime, it was always totally honest to the composition. I will savor his limited honest and pure years over a lifetime of those who cheated the demands of their arias. As with Callas, Carreras will be a legend. What more can we ask of our time on this earth?
El timbre cálido y aterciopelado del gran tenor José carreras es un espejismo ahí en el papel de cavaradossi en la ópera tosca demuestra lo que es capaz de afrontar un papel muy difícil para una voz de esta naturaleza con el lirismo adecuado con un poco de punch sin nada de exceso ahí se notaba el nivel interpretativo que se requería para el papel dé cavaradossi ha sido una salvajada de principio a fin en estos años de galán otoñal de las óperas Puccinianas
young Carreras was just like a young Di Stefano but both suffered a similar vocal fate. But while their candles burned strongly....wow! what grand beauty!!!!
Willzito Because he always push sound with the neck's muscles and never with the energy of the breath. No "tecnica" just "heart" and so bye bye high notes
Check the score to see how it's written. As far as I've listened, Carreras sings according to the score (e.g., final note of "Nessun Dorma," which many singers hold beyond the beats written).😮
