Di quella pira in original key (C dur). Who is the tenor?

[bkmk777]

It should be noted that Pavarotti only sang this transposed down after he was in his 50's. He sang it in the original key live on stage many times in his prime and no one ever sang it better

[grgemin]

I saw Kenneth Collins singing Manrico for Welsh National Opera in the 70s. He was thrilling. He gave his all and his voice was beautiful and silvery. I also saw him in Turandot, Tosca, Manon Lescaut and Ernani. He was a modest journeyman tenor with a voice far, far better than the tenor "superstars" like Grigolo and Villazon who are celebrated today. Mr Collins you gave me much pleasure and excitment with your singing. Bravissimo.

Sembra un garibaldino...Tuttavia l'interpretazione è buona ...esegue benissimo le quartine e sicuro negli acuti...ottima prova.Saluti

[joshland29]

great !!

[leprincebeaumont]

Sembra un cinghialotto e scempia tutte le doppie, però è bravo!

[MrSammyscroll]

Lanza also sang it in the original key (high C)

[Habanero212]

@MrSammyscroll i love Lanza so this is no dig on him. however, singing the C in a concert and singing within the context of the entire role are 2 different things. again, i adore Lanza. how big do you think Lanza would be today amongst the current crop of tenors? do you think they would have taken him more seriously in an actual opera stage? my opinion? he's far and away better than any tenor today and yes they would. you?

[niepce68]

Yes technical is correct. But he does not sing the whole phrase "A l'armi" but he sais "Ala" not even "A l'arm".

[burgul]

this is great!!! i love the tempo, it's not stressed and hysterical like most performances and he sings it with a great legato. maybe not as powerful and dramatic as others but great singing nonetheless

[JackYoony]

BRAVOBRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bretul]

Yes, he did!

Collins assumed his mantle though!

[madgeson]

Charles Craig also sang it in the correct key.

[verdioperadvd]

Kenneth Collins/Joan Sutherland/Jonathan Summers/Lauris Elms/

Richard Bonnge-Conductor - Sydney 1983.

I have it on video/dvd.

[bradleyjarrett]

It's Ken Collins in the Australian Opera production, directed by Elijah Moshinsky.

[Cesaare]

@bradleyjarrett Tata, correct, you won a prize!!!! just kidding, bravo

[305sjaak]

Dude, there are recordings here on YouTube where Pavarotti does sing this aria with high C's, and also you can hardly say others transposed this down since the original doesn't call for a high C at the end.

[BERNARDOANUK]

@305sjaak Pavarotti sings in High C but this man sins in High C sharp. It's 1/2 tone high

[HandwhistlerBen]

What a glorious voice!

[mayflash67]

Great rendition!!!!

[verdioperadvd]

This is the australian tenor Kenneth Collins,who ever would like to know.

[Cesaare]

@verdioperadvd sure

[ellicantropo]

alaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­rrrrrrr ¿miiii???

[BERNARDOANUK]

@ellicantropo no es un mi. Es un Do sostenido que ya es nucho.

[ellicantropo]

@BERNARDOANUK no hacia referencia a la nota musical,el final es ALARMI y el solo dice ALAR. (Y EL MI DONDE QUEDO?)

[BERNARDOANUK]

@ellicantropo Yo es que lo escuche ayer noche a altas horas y mis oidos no estaban tan afinados como ahora. Ayer pense que escuchaba un Do sostenido sobreagudo y la verdad...siendo asi hasta se le podria perdonar la diccion ( la falta de la silaba MI). Pero esta mañana estoy mas afinado de oido y he podido comprobar que este señor canta un Do sobreagudo natural (no sostenido como nos estan vendiendo el video) y en este caso SI DEBERIA DECIR EL "MI" porque la supuesta hazaña ya no estal...

[Vendimi3]

All'aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrr....

[bodiloto]

@Vendimi3 Domingo dal vivo non arrivava di cantare neanche questo...hahahahahahahahaha

[Sinfoniaopera]

I think it might be a young a Macracken (spelling?)

[Huljic]

It could be...
