Ecco Ridente Il Cielo - Juan Diego Florez - Rossini

[Civas0072]

Tell what you want, I think he's got a fuc*ing great voice...

Awesome!

[ohmyrowling96]

@Nunkynick I thought that too XD He's saying "vieni, bell'idol mio", though, which is something of a relief ;)

straordinaria linea di belcanto rossiniano! Il migliore in circolazione nel suo repertorio al momento..ed oramai da un po'!! W Juan Diego!

[corky7090]

those chorus members look mentally defficient trying to pretend to play those instruments

[fabrizietto1980]

ma leggo conmmenti che mi lasciano basito. "si percepisce che ha una voce priva di potenza, per questo rossini va benissimo" cioè sembra quasi che la feccia canti rossini... Non è cosa da tutti il belcanto, e per fortuna non tutti cantano verismo o wagner etc.. non mi pare stia cantando Turandot. E' molto agile, un bel timbro, avrà le sue pecche come tutti,ma a me sembra tra i migliori d'agilità in circolazione. Bah bah

[betsy1947]

Beautiful!  Bravo!

[corellithebest]

Excuse me, when and where was this performance?

[Vanchy58]

Que atractiva esta escenografia en el Teatro Real de Madrid y que Almaviva waooo !

[kinkyfan]

Well,it doesn`t matter how good one can be ,here it is important to be young and good as the best before ,that`s why this is the best for the moment ;)

[raigekimaru]

finally, someone does a different rossini ending =P

[lovemaxaroni]

I love all of his ornamentation choices, really just superb. Of course the singing is magnificent as well, but that goes without saying really.

[maferreira1984]

@stravinskij91: thank you for your correction ("tacete" and not "tacevi").

But what I was telling piaceznik is I don't know the reason why some words are different from one to another version of the libretto. It's very common, but I can't tell whether it's due to variations between the manuscript of the original score and the libretto, made by Rossini himself (which happens a lot), or if, in later times, the publishers of printed editions would modify it for some reason.

[Cosifantuttee]

IN cielo

[piasecznik]

What's he saying in 2:43 , and why? Taceti, già veggo...? Why not 'Oh sorte, già veggo', as written?

[Piolo1978]

Yes, is a mistaken.........is strange because is a peruvian (latina language).

But I know Juan Diego Florez as Tenor instead here He is Conte d'almaviva that is Baritono. Why??

[Piolo1978]

now my mistake :-) The conte d'almaviva is a tenor right?

[piasecznik]

@Piolo1978

There are two famous operas in which the Conte d'Almaviva plays a main role. 'Il nozze di Figaro', by Mozart, in which he is a baritone, and this one, where he's 20 years younger and a tenor.

[maferreira1984]

@piasecznik

He says "tacevi" (from "tacere", verb), which means "be silent", "hush", and so on.

I really can't explain you why, but it's not uncommon to find some slight variations in the texts in opera. Different publishers, perhaps? Maybe Rossini's or Sterbini's handwritings were hard to read, LOL.

Or maybe it's a slight correction based on the original circumstances depicted in Beaumarchais' novel (in which the opera is based) that somebody in the production process found relevant.

BRAVO, una joya de Juan Diego Flores!!

[guilhem32]

He's the only one (known in the world) who's able to sing like this, bravo !!!!

[willwjl]

This is a NICE one. SWEET!

[seapoeg]

Me neither...

[hansquad]

Try to listen to Alfredo Kraus' rendition on this song..(only the audio version, not the video one)

[1stJJ]

I have not heard a better version than this.

[tanpeke]
