Roberto Alagna "Di quella pira" Il Trovatore Paris 2003

[BroadwayG]

A good voice. Nice heels on the shoes. leave him alone. He's another doing his love. I love all the greats but thee is room for variety.

[Qbendanny]

SEXY!

[singio100]

J'y étais !! immense ! !

[eurydike]

I like Alagna´s singing here very much.

[pepeelsordo]

Some people are hard in their coments. Yes is one half tone lower, but it's realy not that bad. Yes compared with Corelli he is not at the same level, but how if we compare him to Dominguin?

[Giovannifabuloso]

Alagna has absolutely no talent. It is a tiny constipated voice. Alagna- Tenore Constipato!!!!!

[VolkgartenBySquirrel]

Il Trovatore in post war Europe - again! It's just as well the dress and stage are so dark and obscure since the hero's friends (and family) have agendas! But Alagna really looks happy here.

[chaiter1]

Not bad. Much better version than he sang elsewhere. Good that he transposed down, that way he does not apply so much pressure on the voice and it sounds much more natural.

[ilGiacinto]

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[sopranosd]

What I can see of this production it is both ridiculously under-lit and oversized. If the director's idea is to denigrate the singers by making them sing in the dark and look tiny and insignificant, he has succeeded.

[Englishtenor2]

Wow! He's in really good voice here!

[chcouto]

No me gusta la interpretación, ni vocalmente, ni teatralmente. La letra dice "Corro a salvarti" y el Sr. Alagna parece pensar: "Bueno, voy lentamente a salvarte, pero antes estaré un buen rato mirando al público"

[ilser73]

avrei preferito come l'ha scritta il maestro Verdi con lp'acuto finale in La, ma cantato decentemente ,no da gallinaccio strozzato.Ed anche quì applaudono, incompetenti ma perchè non si ascoltano qualche buon vinile prima di andare al teatro, invece di mostrare l'abito firmato. Abbiamo toccato il fondo.

[77Peeter]

Un semitono sotto,alla fine è un SI non un DO........tutto più semplice!

[Eruption1910]

Se tu dici che un SI è più facile di un DO....

Secondo me alla fine di un'aria non c'è differenza, anzi....è più facile il Do!

[dayalhari]

Se è più facile il DO del SI, perché molti (come Alagna in questo caso) abbassano la cabaletta di mezzotono Eruption1920? Gli piace rendersi la vita difficile?

[Eruption1910]

no no, per me è più facile il Do....provato sulla mia pelle! Sicuramente è una questione tecnica mia...perchè il Do forse mi permette di Liberare di più la voce....non saprei....

[dayalhari]

Per te è più facile il DO, ma per tutti coloro che preferiscono fare un SI cosa è più facile? Non si può fare di un'eccezione la regoa. Se si è sempre usato abbassare la cabaletta di mezzo tono ci sarà pure un motivo!

[Eruption1910]

si ok ok, io parlavo della nota singola

[dayalhari]

Anche io, la cabaletta viene abbassata solo in funzione dell'acuto, non certo per la tessitura

[Pagliaccio1970]

"kirklun" - they hate him because they have nothing better to do...it's called the tall poppy syndrome. Anyone who has ever walked in the foot steps of any perfomer, performing at the highest level would not criticise anyone - there are a lot of knockers on youtube, and most of them wouldn't know what they are talking about and will never set step on any REAL stage....i'm not a fan of Alagna, but i know how hard it is...everyone has their own personal taste, if you like him, that's great...

[corelli2]

Bravo. Couldn't have said it better myself!

[soliric1]

Això ja és massa!!!Alagna cantant di quella pira...jo pensava que no hi arribaria i se'ls ha passat per la pedra tots els aguts...

[gaytenor]

OperaSnob: You do not know what the fuck your talking about!!! Like the tenor or no he is, without question, the greatest tenor to come out of France since Georges Thill. His singing is, in general very, very good aside from a true tenorial habit of sharping high notes. To suggest that he is nothing more than a choral singer is demeaning and more of a reflection on you than him. He is one of the highest paid singers on this planet. Where do you sing.

[jfbastos78]

para mi algna es limitado, pero mismo asi sigue cantando, yo prefiero a juan Diego florez.

[figaromitico]

manrico es un papel para tenor spinto o lirico-spinto se rekiere muxa potencia tb es adecuao para tenores eroicos,puede k te guste mas florez pero el nunca cantara este papel pk no le va para nada, yo soy un gran amante de alagna ak al ppo me caia mal jaja .

1 SALUDO!

[QUESTANOTTE88]

Estas en lo cierto....Florez es lo mejor en este momento..

[kriklun]

i like Alagna...i dont know why all the haters say that he sucks..

[aniafi5]

@kriklun I'm Placido Domingo's fun and I like Alagna. He is very interesting singer

[alvarogm86]

Alagna must think he has Corelli's voice. Anyway he's totally loosing his voice, it's a shame because he used to sing beautifully as Rodolfo Romeo and other lyric roles.

[iriisblue]

Actually, this is one of the better Alagna performances I've heard. The production was ghastly, and that smile he smacks on his face post b-natural is amateurish, but otherwise, for Alagna, very well done.

[Matt54e]

what's wrong with this? The voice is a little pushed in terms of the role but sounds fine to me.

[fvrp]

very bad... poor...

[Kraveth]

Personalmente no me gusta la voz de Alagna, pero me sorprendio al tener la osadia de cantar esta aria y aparte cantarla mas abajo del tono original, deberia estar cantando en el coro o fuera del escenario, porque conozco estudiantes que la cantan mejor que el, la verdad no se acerca nada a la grandeza de la version de Pavarotti. De hecho nisiquiera se acerca a ser algo descente para el sueldazo que gana.

[verdiotello]

Todos los tenores la cantan medio tono en vivo para no esponerse, y donde estan esos estudiantes?? cantarian la Pira igual despues de cantar toda la Opera?? Pavarotti nunca fue el Manrico correcto, una nota no hace el personaje, deberias escuchar otros Manricos antes de mencionar a Pavarotti en esto.

[Kraveth]

Por supuesto que una nota no hace el personaje, el personaje lo hace la interpretacion de toda la opera, correcto, pero verdi no la habria escrito asi si no pudiese ser cantada.

No se de donde eres, pero de haber escuchado al tenor ganador del concurso de morelia no pensarias asi.

Mi punto es que en comparacion con Pavarotti, esta version es algo pobre...

[verdiotello]

Verdi no la escribio que te quede eso claro, fue el tenor Enrico Tamberlick el primero en hacer la tradicion del Di agudo, quien antes pidio el permiso de Verdo para hacerlo.

[Kraveth]

Si, si, mi error...

A lo que me refiero es que si se puede cantar, claro que depende del talento del tenor mas que nada y como tu acabas de decir, hay quienes lo han hecho desde hace mucho tiempo y la verdad yo no pagaria por ver a un tenor que no puede hacerlo asi...

[verdiotello]

Trovatore es una Opera muy dificil, la tesitura de Manrico se mueve mas en la linea Centro agudo, es por eso que siempre se le designa a un Tenor Spinto, pero con esta tradicion del Do agudo en La Pira, se convierte esta Cabaletta en algo tan complicado para un Spinto porque no es su Nota de explocion y en la actualidad hay una escases de estos Tenores a estos niveles, es por eso que este tipo de roles los abordan los tenores liricos como Alagna, no hay que ser tan cerrado. yo si pago por verlo.

[Kraveth]

En la actualidad hay escases de talento en general...

Pero pues eso ya depende de cada quien, a mi personalmente no me late mucho y aparte si tuviera el dinero para ir a verlo, lo gastaria en una clase magistral o en un curso con un buen maestro....

[verdiotello]

Eso ya es cuestion en que te quieras gastar tu dinero, asi qeu si quieres una buena clase junta unos 200 euros a ver si te hacen cantar la Pira como Corelli, Bonisolli, Giacomini o ya de jodido mejor que Alagna je je je

[Kraveth]

200 euros?

Mejor que alagna?

No creo necesitar tanto dinero para eso la verdad...

[verdiotello]

Sako los pedos.

[waitiakobe]

Bueno me sorprende un poco de que no te guste Alagna, pues a exepcion de esta puesta que esta extraña, siempre se le ve muy bien escenicamente, y la voz ni se diga, y bueno de los tenores que tenemos en mexico hay muy pocos con gran voz, sobre todo los tenores del centro y sur de mexico que tienen una voz chica y debil , no mencienos tenores del sur por lo menos, aca nos gusta la potencia maestros!!!... y al fin de cuentas Alagana es Alagna simplemente el mejor tenor esta generacion

[Kardos08]

I know it's not right, but I just enjoy seen him do whatever he whants. What a crazy bird, God bless him

[Kardos08]

I know it's not right, but I just enjoy seen him doing whatever he whants to do. God bless him this crazy bird.

[spitface33]

This is better than the other video floating around youtube, but still just not right for his voice.

[OperaticVoice]

very bad interpretation, his voice is not for this.

[OperaSnob]

Really impressive. Years ago he'd be lucky to be singing in a chorus.

[OperaSnob]

Sorry for my error here. I of course meant to say "Really not impressive!"

[floridas24]

Agree, a voice for Chorus, why he sings primary roles???

[epa300]

He has a very distinctive voice; I try not to give much weight to his personality flaws: he has an operatic temper, let's say.

[operadm]

i'm no Alagna fan, but I enjoyed his interpretation of this difficult aria

[tenoregrande]

Bravo, maestro Alagna!

[BeauTenor]

Nope.
