[al10506025]

Great duet!!!

[Salet9]

8 people are justin bieber fanboys.....but seriously, how can you not enjoy this. It's absolutely gorgeous.

[MegaSteven1963]

Super om het te horen, J'adore ça; I love it.

[nick1962100]

is een heerlijk duet om te horen door deze hele mooie stemmen

voor mij een topper!!!!!!

[westlightman]

good

[grandmagrumpy]

Spine tingling.

Is Vargas another Kraus? wow. I'm gob smacked!!

He'll be singing with Dmitri Hvorostovsky in Simon Boccanegra at the Met

Radio broadcast Feb 5, 2011, 1-4:35 ET

[grandmagrumpy]

Spine tingling. OMG! Vargasa; another Kraus?

[Wil6351]

So very very beautifull

[Wil6351]

So very beautifull.

[100gertje]

Super! Greetz from Holland

[riptorna556]

this was in romper stomper

[corelli123]

vargas un idolo...un capo...pero se nota que no estaba 10 puntos.quebro justo antes de la ultima nota....

vargas cappo.

[acitipo]

Bueno, bueno, no hay cantante. mejor que el otro.....a este nivel, no los hay. Vargas es un tenor respetado con una gran carrera, UNA COSA ES A MI NO ME GUSTA y otra ESTE CANTA PEOR QUE ESTE OTRO. Hay roles que pondria a Pavarotti, como unico y en otros ni aparece....lo mismo que Alva, Kraus, Domingo, lo mismo sucede con las cantantes.

[angeliux81]

Both are so elegant!!! It's so friendly and pasionly... hahaha love it!

[Nadir2711]

Des voix faites pour cette oeuvre...excellent....

[thirstonthethird]

This is very good, only second to Jussi Bjorling and Robert Merrill. I love it!

[Bjoerrelli]

I think Vargas has a lovely timbre but compared with Pavarotti he lacks acuti or "bite in the tone", but still a lovely voice to listen to

[Ayanamiishot]

To be fair though: How can you compare ANYone to Pavarotti? The man was one-of-a-kind.

[BloodyYuki08]

Such an amazing interpretation

[Baritone04]

Is there a version with Alagna and Tézier? I would love to hear both of them. This, however, is one of the better interpretations Bravi signori!!!

[SirCharlesPerkins]

Vargas plays his cards right and gets a few breaks, he'll be the next Pavarotti.

[ELTIETCHA]

De rien. Enchanté, mais inconnu reste la base de votre compliment, Monsieur Ericrouge. A qui est dirigé votre remerciement? Babyfairy?

[otello130367]

En gustos se rompen generos y bueno cada quien tendra su opinion, en lo personal siempre se me ha hecho frio vargas pero indiscutiblemente tiene una excelente tecnica

[ericrouge]

Merci beaucoup, sans aucun doute une des meilleures interprétations à disposition sur Youtube, modeste, précise sans les effets de voix théatraux de la plupart des autres et une bonne qualité musicale.

One of the best renderings on Youtube, thanks a lot, modest and sharp interpretation without the theatrical voice effects of other singers.

[acariciamelanutria]

Coincido con ELTIETCHA y celebro ser ignorante respecto de tantos tecnicismos y gracias a eso poder disfrutar de semejante performance, sin tanto rollo.

[ELTIETCHA]

What I'm trying to say here is that what is conveyed by these guys is a dazzling piece of harmonical symphony, not even considering the role of the orchestra. Maybe our hispanic critics are able to blow away this aspect, too. Suckeeeers!

[ELTIETCHA]

Pronunciacion. Interpretacion. Vamos nos. Mirad el placer de estos artistas y lo que trasmiten emocionalmente al publico. Por muy poco que soy capaz juzgando en este campo tecnicalmente, puedo concluir que por mi parte aun no he visto una obra con un valor expresivo tan fenomenal. Es muy satisfactoria ser ignorante.

[Uncomunista]

Y en mi opinion la obra esta impoluta, tal y como la han representado. Estoy muy conforme con la interpretacion y con la calidad del video.

Un saludo a todos los comentaristas, al quien colgo el video (exelente, por cierto) y a los cantantes de opera, que aunque nos los conocia en un principio, me han cautivado de tal manera que seria capaz de reconcerlos ahora en cualquier parte.

[Uncomunista]

filiodecallas, la critica al detalle esta muy bien, pero ciertamente, has de saber que todos los artistas interpretan las obras de forma diferente; personalizan un poco las obras segun su propio criterio y sus capacidades, en muchos casos.

Hasta nuestro Luciano Pavarotti, cambia tonos o canta las escalas de forma invertida, al reves de com se componen, y en ocaciones pede quedar mal o por el contrario, aunque nos parezca un insulto a la originalidad de las obras, pueden llegar mejorarse.

[filiodecallas]

NO hacen los crecendos escritos por Bizet. Voces que no interpretan, porque el canto y el sonido de la orquesta son planos. Parece un ensayo inicial. Acaso es un ensayo?

[sannie67]

bellisimo

[siumak21]

Their voices are amazing. What a couple!

[johanna33560]

i love this baritone, he's perfect... the tenor is very good too i love this duet

thanks for this

[novice1959]

This is very beautiful! These 2 men harmonize so well. Vargas is my favorite of the current operatic tenors, he has such a very fine voice, but of the darker hue that I prefer.

[babyfairy]

Mr.Vargas rarely disappoint me. He is excellent musician and artist.

[aguacun]

este es el repertorio de Vargas

[gordysmom3]

magnificent...

[acariciamelanutria]

HOLA

[Graham1954]

...y Hola a usted

[Artisticz]

love this version alot.

[marcelramalho]

Strange pronounciation of Mr. Vargas. But, anyway, marvelous!

[avellanedam]

Excelente barítono, pronunciación rara de Vargas (aun siendo su lengua materna una lengua romance afín al francés). ¡Muy buena versión! Apoyo los comentarios sobre el canto en francés. Debe haber énfasis en las consonantes en francés, para que el texto se entienda, y un poco de nasalización cuando el texto lo requiera. Sin exagerar.

[sngngsolo]

In the French style, it is not about vocal gymnastics and power. It it ALL about elegance and smoothness of tone. The French style is not appreciated like it should be neither is it done because people want to be "blown away" due to the powerful singers of the past 30 to 40 years(i.e. Pavarotti). Not knocking on these singers for they are great, but the art form is suffering because "we" want to be hit in the head with the voice.

[Artisticz]

Roberto Alagna is both :) the headliner for french opera.

Elegance & Power.

[floztenor]

@sngngsolo : reading that Pavarotti was a powerfull voice is probably one of the funiest thing ever on UTube!

Indeed he had a radiophonic voice (beautiful for sure). Probably you will say that Mario Lanza and Bjorling had powerfull voices too?? Mario DelMonaco has a powerfull voice for instance but definitivelly not Pavarotti!

Rgds

[sngngsolo]

@floztenor : I'm pleased that you find my comments "funny", especially from three year old comments that were purely my opinion and nothing else. Perhaps that length of time has a correlation with your conversational abilities or mental maturity. I hope that you continue to be entertained likewise in the future.

[floztenor]

@sngngsolo Sorry for the time delay! I will try to ensure a better follow up of your comments in the future.

[sngngsolo]

@floztenor Your account shows that you are in France. If so, you make your country proud.

[danbar73]

For a more elegant Vargas version (if that's at all possible), try the Vargas-Gerello Pearlfishers duet posted on Christmas Day. At the very least,IMO, that is the equal of the Bjoerling-Merrill version as the best of all time.

[ugolinifu]

The Frenche music has to be elegant, the passion has to be at the service of the music. It's not "verismus" like the Alvarez interpratation, that sounds like Puccini style. I prefer Vargas...!

[bluemanredstate]

Tezier has a lovely voice -- I am starting to come around to Vargas too, but count myself among the fans of Tezier, thanks to you!

[alvarezfan]

Nice but - boring. This is due mainly to the director not the singer. Although the baritone is a bit "colourless". See the same piece when sung by Alvarez and Terfel or Alagna and Terfel.

[babyfairy]

Thank you for the information. I saw the videos you suggested. Yes, they sound more "passionate", but I prefer Vargas-Tezier version for its elegance and style.

And, I don't think Tezier's voice is colourless. I heard him live the other day at Covent Garden, and he was great as Belcore.

[alvarezfan]

Dear babyfairy,

Your video is, of course, of very high level. Sorry for being perhaps less polished. I heard Vargas live several years ago, at the beginning of his international careeer. Best wishes.

[luisenes]

tienes toda la razon,no hay comparacion.
