Virgilijus Noreika- a stunning Lamento di Federico

[burgomister]

норейка всегда был выдающийся тенор ! полет голоса редкий такой не у всех лучших теноров мира ! браво !

[howlingael]

I beg you. Listen to aragaill's version

[BassoProfundo87]

Dios mio! This is absolutely beautiful!!!!

[stevenpaulniles]

Ma nouvelle interprétation préférée de cette chanson. Je n'ai jamais entendu de ce chanteur, mais il est évidemment quelqu’un de très spécial et poetique.

[abracadabranque]

Un peu délayé,mais bien emmené,jusqu'à une fin pas complètement aboutie,presque douteuse avec ce dégueulando.Mitigé.

[francesca7564]

@abracadabranque

J'aime bien ton expression " dégueulando " c'est vrai que c'est étrange et très personnel ...

Mais je suis contente de cette découverte

Bisous

[francesca7564]

Diable !!! Cà c'est du vécu !

Merci pour le post .

[djschlom]

not perfect with the words, but nearly so with the vocalization. Just wish I didn't know the song so well that the heavy modification of the "perche Deggio tanto penar" phrase did not stand out so much to me. Bravo! thanks for posting.

[RamintaSM]

It was thoughtful of you to share the recording -- thanks. I'm glad to know the work of this national treasure of Lithuania is reaching more people.

[sergio944]

I love having talented cousins.

[Alexsandr44]

Лучше В.Норейки спеть "Плач Федерико" невозможно!

[65attila]

A magnificent vocally nuanced performance and he feeling is wonderful.

[OperaAdmirer]

Fantastic!

[talondriver6]

Just did the same search as you k-chak, this is a real gem. I prefer Lanza's live in England recorded in 58 with piano only, worth a listen to all

[AnryK2690]

Really stunning. Perhaps seond to only Gigli and Di Stefano.

[mysong42]

Wow this is trully a stunning performance of this song, probably unequaled by anyone,the timing extraordinary passion ,the technigue are simply amazing.Thank you for this gem of singing ...bravo

[abracadabranque]

Good after Peerce but why a so bad and unartistic end?

[edelmantos]

Nureika sang my favorite rendition for "Kuda Kuda". I dont think it's in youtube. In other things I like him less. But also this recording is very nice in my opinion.

[dreamingsleeping]

great voice!!

[reyesmatute]

Mr Noreika was my teacher in Venezuela the year he was trying to scape of the former soviet union. How wonderful is to hear is noble voice again!!! Thanks for the post!!!

[DonPaolissimo]

EXCELLENT!!! Is there a CD available with him???

[Lovelytenor1]

His was not the greatest gift but what of it. The instrument is intelligently, artfully used. A little pitchy here & there but no matter. Bravo!

[btsg]

" you must push out on the Fa dies"

he told me-  good teacher great singer, very musical and also a good sense of humor--

[pukensan]

Bravo,Maestro!! Braaaavooooooo!!!! as always, so soulful.. so briliant. All time, all generations number one in Lithuanian opera. Great pedagogue!!

[nikitosik197474]

лучше не кто не исполнял эту арию!

[nalekhina]

@nikitosik197474

He is great, a real di grazia, but the king of this aria is di Stefano.

[5mai5mai]

I saw him in Sydney, Australia in the early1980s. He sang opera arias and songs, and superbly. The audience, mainly older expatriate Lithuanians and Russians had a wonderful time.

[ElPiconeroalCognac]

The recording is not so great, but the voice us really magnificent!

[povilaizeriz]

is it a photo of him young? since he's 73 years old now it's hard to recognize him.

[mactopolis]

extremely passionate rendition...not quite fond of his tech...but awesome was the passion on this difficult aria

[marlylovesjewels]

I'm ashamed to admit that this is my first hearing of this great artist. What a joy to hear a large voice beautifully controlled and one can relax, knowing that he won't do anything tasteless or unmusical. Now on to his other videos. Thank you for a new and wonderful experience.

[preruminator]

Virile, impassioned, still controlled.

What a rendition.

Thanks for posting!

[btsg]

my former teacher---go maestro!

[Dobrib]

Magnificent!Bravo!Thanks for uploading.

[CharlotteinWeimar]

Glorious again!

[Glenmed]

Many thanks Craig. An absolutely stunning rendition. A beautiful voice and so expressive.

[Diotima555]

Anch'io vorrei dormir cosi.... we could also ask here: Why did you give me these eyes ??

Una voce fantastica !!! Stupenda ! Grazie !

[tenorgoodfella]

Wow..! I had never heard him before. Fantastic. I love it.. great honest sound. Wish I could hear more from him. Thanks for this great post.

[Phaidra69]

i have the impression that i listen to the Lithuanian Yussi Bjorling ...

[Ankhsnammon]

No,Madame..or mmlle...he is the Lituanian gigli!!!

I AM ASTONISHED OF BEAUTY!!!!

[Timurito]

[macciboma]

Molto bravo canta con tanta grazia e amore. Grazie.Walter.

[CountDiLuna]

Noreika is fnatastic here, as always. It's such a shame there are so few recordings of him.

Cheers,

Nils

[Plecostomus1986]
