  • Perhaps the greatest modern day tenor...a small handful are better..and that's a maybe

  • Most beautiful conclusion of this aria ever. And this is live. And I do mean ever. Sorry Gigli, Caruso, Schipa. I simply love this.

  • Joli.

  • Great news to Bezduz fans :) !

  • @operajdflorez

    plus she will be a fantastic adina. wow.

  • The best version of this aria is one that Gedda recorded where the pianissimi are outsanding

  • superbly ending...

  • I really like this ending.. it's incredibly beautiful and magical.

  • magnificiant and irregular and outstanding finish... bravo bülent bravo...

  • awesome...

  • He is just the very best around these days! What a delight to hear someone combining such technical flair, musicality, respect for tradition, orininality, elegance and, yes, a gorgeous voice...

  • We will surely see him at the Met soon!!I

  • Another superb rendition from Bezdüz! The nuance is lovely, he has a strength of voice that certainly carries and he really has a very unique and most enjoyable timbre. The ending of this aria is as already stated: to die for! Can only agree I would have wanted to hear the very end of it as well..

  • great ending, but the idiotic chimpanzees who started yelling and cheering before he was finished should be tortured and shot.

  • Dear tklogan11809 I' m totally agree...They could a bit wait more. Because he was still doing beautiful diminuendo.pity...

  • What a wonderful voice!! Every time I listen to him I feel completely speechless!! And I am so proud because he is turkish!! Bravo!!

  • A really magnificent voice, and a great singer.

    However, I do hear a little tightness - and as a result he's a bit flat - in some of the middle phrases. However, he gets it back, which is impressive. The end note is so lovely.

    Looks young, too. Hope he ends up singing at the Met soon.

  • Me 3. I think he is what I want to hear at the Met and records.

  • El final es IMPRESIONANTE, con ese agudo en PIANISSIMO, es IMPRESIONANTE.

  • Lo es... queda q ni pintado!!! jeje

  • Harika!!

  • Amazing.... Bravo Bravo Bravo!!!! Great end...

  • Beautiful voice but I don't see him scheduled for the great European opera houses and I wonder why not.

  • I wonder why as well..

  • One of the very best young tenors today. He does not have a publicist, plus he is Turkish. So racism applies as usal, like with the great Leyla Gencer in her time.

  • Comment removed

  • First time I heard a real opera was a few days ago on the Gothenburg Opera, watching Bülent Bezdüz in La Bohème, and I am really impressed! He is amazing, truly one of the gratest I've heard for a very long time! He has world class, and that's respect to be a tenor like him :) allthough I'm part greek, I must say he is wonderful! Bezdüz seviyorum! /Greetings from sweden

  • Interesting ending on a Bb - haven't heard anyone else except for Joseph Schmidt do that. Lovely voice and he seemed in tune to me, despite our Greek friend's persistent remarks. I llok forward to hearing more of Bulent...the voice almost sounds like it has Bjorling quality to it, maybe with a hint of Pavarotti on the "ah" vowel.

  • Oddio mio THIS IS BELCANTO! Bravooo :D

  • I have no idea what you just said but ok.

  • It can be less or more piano but it's world class..is'nt it?

  • very nice!!!! but I think the beginning isn't pianissimo as the score says. But if this is your pianissimo I would like to hear your forte^^

    Bravo

  • Pianissimo is in the end. When he stops singing:)) Thanks for the comment.

  • yeah but the score says piano in the beginning too :)

  • if you know a bit about italian scores you know that a piano is never full piano like in german or french opera..

    look verdi he made 3 ppp ...and also he wrote any expression he wanted to hear..just because people did not sing as cultivated as nowadays..

  • This interpretation deserves and gets a 3 in best Una Furtiva's opera musical scale !

  • ach bence tuerkiyenin asalik komplexi var, durmadan duenya capinda su duenya capinda bu degerlendirmeler oluyor... turkiyede deger goersuen, bosverin duenyayi... amerikada yasayan biri olarak, kalite yaratiyorsan zaten duenya gelip seni bulur demek geciyor icimden, ANACIM

  • Türkiye'de kalitenin değeri var mı? Kaliteli politikacı, doğru söyleyen insan, meslek etiğine saygılı gazeteci vs... Sonuç olarak Bezduz gibi değerli insanlarımızın kendi ülkesinde Seda İbo kadar değeri yok. Dünya zaten gelip bulmuş almış. Kaliteyi redden bizleriz. Yorumumun Türk olmak kompleksi ile pek alakası yok(bence). Yorumunuz için teşekkürler.

  • Bilmiyorum, bence cok klise bir dusunce sizin yazdiklariniz. sanki amerikanin Sedalari Ibolari yokmu? VAR

    Britney Spears beterin beteri misal... dedigim gibi dogru durust birseyler yaratirsan, dinleyicinide bulursun. bezduz icin turkiyede sahne bile yok, operalarimiz nerdeki ? scala olsun frankfurter oper olsun bunlar avrupanin guzellikleri. amerikada para var ki cabuk ayak uyduruyorlar, tuerkiyede para olsa istanbuldan guzel yer olmaz. yukselin, daha iyi olun ki duenya standardlarina uyalim.

  • Bulent Bey:

    Bir Turk olarak sizinle iftihar ediyorum.

    Gurkan Gokce/Chicago

  • Maalesef bizler uyduruk starlar yaratır gerçek starlarımıza değer vermeyiz. Dünyanın alkışladığı bir sanatçımız olduğuyla ne kadae övünsek azdır. Çok yaşa BB.

  • I'm jealous..

    Excellent voice.

  • If you can say Excelent voice, you are not Jelous at all. Let say envy without malice.

    Thanks for the comment.

  • oh no, believe me.. I'm jealous..

    I'd love to sing like him.

  • I m agree with rodialva. You can't be so that gelous :)Who doesn't want to sing like him..

  • ya if this wasnt hand recorded it would be so much better

  • This is actually how I expected the aria to end the first time I heard it I but was let down. His voice truly is one of the most beautiful. But then again, to many peoples anger, I do believe Bocelli has one of the most beautiful.

  • Imagine this is a Handycaam recording..He has World Class Tenor voice. Thanks for your comment.

  • I listen to him at least once everday. This is the best unafurtiva I ever listen...

  • Great news !

    Only 6 weeks left !!!!

    and Mr Bezduz will sing : La Boheme at Sweden Goteborg,directed by Ms.Elisabeth Linton.

    Premiere 22 November 2008 Goteborg Opera House

    I wish to Ms.Linton have great success !

    Info for full schedule /cast/ and Q&A with Ms Linton visit bezduz fan club !

  • Questo giovane tenore ha una bellissima voce puo' diventare veramente un grande.

  • Mi fa essere contentissima per la mia nazionalita' quando lui canta! Grande Turco!!! Bravissimi!!!

  • the best piano-mezza voce :)

  • Hermosísima voz, quizás falta de apoyo en algunas zonas para igualar el registro, hay que mejorar el fraseo para llegar a ser bueno de verdad. El final no me gusta, espectacular pero poco musical. Si es capaz de mejorar llegará a ser muy grande......

  • la verdad... que tiene un color y timbre hermoso... me sorprendio este tenor

  • Bellissima questa voce. A gift to all who hear affecting and so well executed as to technique. Bravo.

  • Scelto dal tuo Playlist. Fantastica voce, ,orgoglio per la Turchia un così bravo tenore

    Grazie del video.

  • Ti ringrazio, Walter. E Bezduz canta adesso, forse un futuro tenore d'importanza internazionale. Me ne ha parlato teachertenor, lui stesso tenore che insegna il canto lirico.

  • oh what a beautiful voice. the best thing from turkey after leyla gencer!

  • this guy has got a bright future ahead of him, he's got such a strong ringing tone, and a lot of power.

    Bravo

  • My god, what a sound! But the orchestra seemed a bit rushed in the beginning...why not let Bezduz show more of the power and beauty of this piece...?

  • a smooth piano blfat at the end?? who does that?? ...wish i could...

  • If you want the best,live, Bezduz must be considered. Excellent control. He deserved a standing ovation for this performance

  • Bülent Bezdüz'ü hepimiz çok seviyoruz ve gurur duyuyoruz...Böyle güzel bir finale ancak bu yakışırdı...Yorumunuz için teşekkürler..

  • Videonun sonundaki "seni seviyorum..canım benim.." cümleleri de hoş olmuş :)

  • nice way to end this beautiful song!

  • Nice voice, great pic.

  • Happy birthday dear Mr.Bezduz !

    in the name of the Bezduz's Fan Club members ♥♥♥ May 2008.

  • Happy birthday :-)))

  • Me too :) Happy Birthday and best wishes !

    Yours : Cdoran

  • I would say this is the best rendition of this aria I have heard from any current living tenor. BRAVO, Beduz! This rendition is in par with Alfredo Kraus and Luciano Pavarotti.

  • I am very interested about his next performance another beautiful Donizetti's opera La Favorita (as Fernando) in France Montpellier JUNE 2008

  • Indubbiamente lui é bravo tenore e scuola grandiosa!

  • I think he is reall lyric, like Carreras or Alagna. I m hoping that he will not eventually wind up as road kill on the tenorial highway. Couse he is gifted such a great voce, beautiful color, sensitive soul. He seems he knows what he is doing.

    Great Job

  • Sounds like he is not quite as light as Kraus at that age or Schipa who where strictly lyric always, great voice and will get darker and larger naturally as long as he sticks with lyric roles for now he will last and get better and better. Bravo

  • I think he is a lyric or lyric spinto which means he is a lyric who can sing lyric or some spinto roles like Don Carlo later which Shicoff often sang with success early, he is not limited to just lyric roles like Hadley was who had a lighter voice or Schipa. His voice like Bjorling another lyric spinto sang Manrico and Don Carlo but never Forza or Chenier yet Bjorling called himself a Spinto but sounded more lyric or lyric spinto he never sang Calaf on any stage live ever however.

  • bravo!!!real italian voice

  • I hope that Mr Speight Jenkins (Seattle Opera)

    Mr.William Mason(Lyric Opera Chicago) Mr David Gockley (San Farncisco Opera) Mr, Peter Gelb (MET) Mr Miklos Szinetar (Hungarian Opera House ) and my favorite author Mr Villiam Berger all of them agree that Mr Bezduz has top tenor qualities: brilliant voice and pure natural stage presence and even he is good looking too .

  • Hi everyone that who supports this young felow. Bezduz the one, who cares about frasing and Belcanto music, more than making big a sound. For me, his una furtiva is best live performances After Maestro Pavarotti in youtube.

    I m also happy to see his fans create a North American Opera Forum and Fan Club which he deserve definitly.

    Bravooo..Maestro di Belcanto..

  • Vocalmente perfetto ,bella voce.

    Sei grande Buelnt Bezduz..

  • Bravo Bezduz!!! Il Tenor Turco :)

    I started to think that turks are good at in opera, if we consider Gencer, Bilgili, Bezduz.

  • Wonderful singer and voice. Most of the greatest tenors are dead so this young Tenor with a great lyric spinto sound is welcome. Joseph Schmidt sang this live also with the B flat ending in 1937 but on studio recordings he sang it as written, it's Fine. Bezduz different voice then Florez who is a light Lyric, This is a lyric spinto sound and a fine voice at that. I have heard most of the great Tenors live for 50 years going to opera's and if he is careful he will have a huge career.

  • he is not a spinto. I have the same exact voice type but i am about 5 to 7 years younger. He is a light lyric with benefits and great technique. If you have good technique you can sing almost anything. I bet he can sing the hell out of rossini to.

  • Bravo BB!!!

    Don't listen to some of these people, I am Greek, and respect good music when I hear it. I too am a tenor and working on this aria, so i can completely understand the musicianship required to produce such a quality performance.

    I like the high ending, only because it felt true to the aria and coz u meant it, not so you could show off!

  • Dear kungura,

    I add here mr Bezduz's video. I adore his Voice. I m Tukish and we like Greek people for sure. Politican can make some problem but Greek people more familler than all other European contriesfor Turkish people. I believe we will get more closer in time. Best Wishes

  • His voice is very free, soft and always beautiful. Only very occasionally his timbre gets a "white" tone, but that's a minor aspect. He has excellent  technique (great top and breath control) and understands the style. Now that's Bel Canto!

  • Sevgili Bülent Bey,

    Şunu samimiyetle söylüyorum ki Youtube'da gördüğüm en iyi Una Furtiva yorumunu dinledim. Hem de defalarca. Rahmetli Pavarotti'nin kolaylığı ile söylenmiş sanki. Baştan sona aynı renkte söylediğiniz gibi kadanslarda hiç ezmeden üstüne üstlük bir de finalde si bemol... tek kelime ile tarihi bir kayıt. Sizi çok seviyorum ve bir Türk olarak siznle gurur duyuyorum. Tanrının hediyesi güzel sesinize ve kendinize iyi bakın. Nice başarılara...

  • bu performansı canlı dinleme şansını yakalamak gerçek bir zewk...FORZZZZA LA BEZDÜZ.....

  • Holy Hell! That was stunning. This guy is incredible.

  • Bayılıyorum bu sese,gerçekten çook etkileyici.Bravissimo Bezdüz...

  • C'est la plupart de belle voix que j'ai entendue récemment. Quelle belle fin. Je t'aime BB

  • Bravo!!!!!Bulent

  • Well..his voice has some spinto characteristics as well although he is a tenore lyrico. So it's normal that he sounds a bit different than most lyrics. And please...Juan Diego Florez is a light tenor. He cannot even think of singing some of the aria's Bulent can sing no matter what his Bel Canto ability is. This guys has a bright future ahead of him if he keeps on working hard and chooses his repertoire wisely.

  • Thelnquisitive, I completely agree.

  • Don't you just love opera-fan attitude?? heh heh

    I didn't hear anything flat at all. I liked his Una Furtiva Lagrima better than anyones at this point. The de pieu non chiedo threw me off a bit, but only because I wasn't used to it, but the the whole aria, including the ending, was very spectacular. He has an extremely rich voice.

    Arms, and spirit of this aria??? They sell librettos on-line, which may be as cheap to purchase as your bombastic "COMportamento"

  • Very nice voice. It seemed to me that he was having a hard time knowing what to do with his hands/arms though, they were not not in tune with the spirit of the aria. Great job though. Loved the high Bb!

  • The tenor is NOT GREEK, he is TURKISH and I think he is doing pretty well...

  • Hahahaha ingenious! Super!

  • Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful!!!!! Voice of Course!!!

  • super performance. Bu ses kilic kibi keserli. was für eine stimme!!!!!! helal olsun !!!!helal olsun!!!! BRAVOSIMO MASHALLAH

  • olağanüstü...

  • who has it shows it, basta !

    wonderfull,

    my soul is happy !

  • this guy sings very well.The high ending note was not written, but he did it softly and with ring.

  • if you've got it, why not flaunt it??

  • muy bella voz!!!

  • traumhaft!

    this voice ist just a dream!

  • i HATE that he's adding notes.

  • si b şahı...

  • Showy ending, but otherwise very good indeed.

  • My school did this opera last semester. I was in the pit

  • The negative Greek guy is a twat who obviously doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. Go and watch some videos about the life of taromasalata or something dude.

  • This song is sooooo nice....bravo...

  • You have been most successful Bulent Bey. Congratulations and all the best.

  • canta copn gusto ..bel timbro...molto meglio di alagna o di quel raccomandato di Villazon

  • oh come on...this is a TENOR ! beautiful sweet sound.He still has some work to do, but with luck this man will go far. Bravo.

  • I do not care what do you think,I am not Turkish or Racist:)I AM HONEST AND YOU ARE HONEST FOR THIS TENOR,IT IS NOT HELPING HIM.

    If you are musician you will understand what I am talking about.He is flat if you can not hear that clean your ears boy:)I have more exprience then him and you have to be honest on this business;

    καλή τύχη

  • Τραγουδά σε όλο τον κόσμο που φροντίζει τι σκέφτεστε. Ανθρωποι Turkis λέμε Siktir από.

  • ΔΕΝ ΚΑΤΑΛΑΒΑΙΝΩ ΤΑ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ ΣΟΥ ΦΙΛΕ..ΤΟΥΡΚΟς Η ΟΧΙ, Η ΜΟΥΣΙΚΗ(ΟΠΩς ΚΑΙ Η ΘΡΗΣΚΕΙΑ)ΔΕΝ ΕΧΟΥΝ ΣΥΝΟΡΑ..Ο ΤΥΠΟΣ ΕΧΕΙ ΜΕΛΛΟΝ.

  • lol yer completley understand

  • You are not honest. As I see in your info since join to youtube there is no other clip that you comment.Don't talk about Honesty.

  • No, he really wasn't flat. Sorry. He bellowed a bit on the first Ab, but not the subsequent ones, and I don't think the Bb ending added anything, really. Good sound, good technique (from the sound of it) and good intonation. Tenors of this standard are not common. I think Florez has the edge over him in Bel Canto, though.

  • I think if you can not hear him and his intination,I do not have to say anything.(Begining of the aria)

    Also on this tags why is he using Pavarotti name???Can you explain to me.Also watch Mr.Pavarotti(King of the Belcanto)

  • Listen greek 1/4 tenor, why you are obsessive about him I added this videos because he wunderful tenor you are the only one or afew.if you dont stop writing negative and obsessive words I must block you.Ok.Making critic and belemish is not the same!

  • Well, you say he is flat, I say he isn't!!! You are no more right than I am, I don't believe.

  • I don't think he is flat at all. His "quelle festo" was a little shouted. and his "vo might ahve been a little flat but the rest of the song was was on pitch. And the on the Bb he is spot on

  • We are all professionals, he is not flat.

    Besides I don't think he needs help in you tube.

    Check his bio.

    Regards.

  • I don't think GreekTenor has said anything unreasonable. Just listen! Fhe first phrase is noticeably off key. The whole of "furtiva" is slightly flat, and that's not just portamento on "negli occhi". That's not to say he isn't a talented singer; he improves in the second half, has a beautiful tone and evidently has great potential, but let's not be naïve. Accusations of racism because of an honest critique are ridiculous. - And the bassoons are flat too.

  • You are listening to a reduced quality recording in youtube recorded by a handycam.

    Depending on his voice's harmoic qualities, depending on the acousics of the hall and the cameras position etc the cam's mike wont be able to record the same, because it wont be able to capture all of the harmonics. So sometimes you'll hear it flat sometimes sharp. Some times you'll hear it better sometimes worse. Please consult a sound engineer for more information.

    Best Regards

  • OMG Harp is out of tune too! :)

  • The best tenor voice since Pavarotti. Brings a tear to my eye. Such a powerful voice too and creamily smooth! If I could be a tenor, he's who I'd love to sound like. His voice is perfect for Bel Canto

  • Orchestra is flat also Tenor totaly flat.Wow you guys can not hear him,almost 1 step down he is flat.His technic is not good too why he is flat.

  • You are the only one who noticed bravo.Maybe you are 1stGreekTenor thats why.

    Bravo

  • Why doesnt he has better career!!!if he does better technic why he can not sing in bigger opera house!!You have to be honest for yourself and hear him again,you will understand he is flat.

  • If you are really Greek and Singer even Tenor!

    You can use friendship of art.Dont be racist!Show me another Turkish Tenor who made such a great career like him . Even we have alotof beautiful voices. So it's not easy to be accetable in opera world specially there is a racist people like you. Ask your self.

    If you are Turkish and hidding you behind the nickname, you are such an asshole. Its not difficult to understand couse you are the gelous one.

  • ha!ha!you guys(maestro& 1st greektenor) are so funny!using Youtube for your arguments..very cultured and mature of you..meanwhile you forget to enjoy the music...how sad to bring your ethnic differences into music..

  • What a stupid comment. If the orchestra is flat (which pitch are you talking abaout? 440? 441? 442? or 443?) and the singer is flat too, they are together in tune and everything is OK.

  • Which opera house is that?

  • Excelente video. Mis felicidades

  • precious final. Very original.

  • che, la pagianno se pudee abriar aca en argentiona, hagan algo que da ganas de esucharlo y saber mas cosas de este joven colega

  • .....Que hijoputa!!!!....en el buen sentido

  • he sing always fantastic

  • bravo!!!öylebi yorum olmuşki... tenorların dikkatine artık bu arianın finalinde sib yapmak şart oldu!!tebrikler.. inanılmaz şarkıcılık.

  • where did he study?

  • As I know , He studied in Turkey with Polish tenor Roman Werlinski.. you can have more information via bulentbezduz. com

    Best

  • maravilhosa .. adorei .. gostei muito.. also great voices in turkey

  • Thanks for posting this up and recording it - the sound quality is amazing - I heard Bulent sing for the first time last saturday in glasgow (Edgardo - Lucia) he is a complete sensation the tenor voice of the next decade, When is he going to fully explode onto the scene - he is a complete sensation

  • Maravillosa voz.!!Bravoooo¡¡

  • Ses zaten çok temiz ayrıca çok duygulu okumuş tebrik ederim.

  • I m listening again and again,almost everday .really this is one of the best Nemorino aria ever I did heard...What a big emotion ,what phrasing...Bravo Maestro Bezduz...

  • me too - it is amazing!

  • He is the Maestro of Belcanto Repertoire.I dont mention any name but recently Bezduz is the best of afew Belcanto singer ..I m sure we will see him soon at La Scala or Met.

  • and I hope Covent Garden too...this guy is the best for a long long time to hit the scene.

  • Ha una voce meravigliosa e un grande carisma. Sei il più grande BULENT

  • Çağlayan gibi sesi ne güzel zaptetmişsiniz sakin bir nehir gibi durlmuş..Bravao abi..

  • Yav gardasim kimdir bu adam neden bana bu videolari gonderirsiniz,neden bagiriyor bu adam,dogru durust turku soyliyen adam gondermiyorsunda bunumu gonderiyorsunuz bana.Gardas sen neden bagiriyon biaciklasana bana anlamis deilim ben

  • çok iyisin tebrikler

  • Dear Bulent,

    1th I saw you in Marseille as Gennaro,I thought your voice like young Aragal or Bergonzi maybe not the size of voice!!..You got better and better ,I saw you in Montpellier last year as Edgardo your voice got more space..So this shows you improve and arise again and again day by day.,So..

    Bravo young Fellow,Thank you for sharing your magical talent..

    RUN RUN...

  • Amazing soft and clear tone production all over the high tessitura ... Whithout neglecting the sensivity of the text... A sparkling voice from Turkey...

  • Che bella voce. Che bel uomo.solo Dio può fare altrettanto... This was an absolutely stunning performance!Most people on this earth are only follow their instinct like an animal and nothing else. But sometimes, somewhere in the same earth somebody is different. I guess Bezduz is one of them..Both are a gift from God.Voice and the heart. They make you feel that life it self is divine...

  • wow. interesting but beautiful ending
