What the heck? o.O These aren't the lyrics I remember (at least some of them aren't), and the arrangement is weird. But oh, well. Altered lyrics or not, this is good. He sang the familiar lyrics in "Italia Ti Amo" (albeit a half-step down, because it was recorded when he was 65).
I love Placido but I don't think this song (aria, actually) is for him. For me it is much too fast also. But hey, what the ....Placido has been singing and thrilling audiences for over 40 years so I am not complaining!
El rey Domingo ha muerto ... el gran problema es que aun no le han avisado... en mi pais las caracachas pasan a el periodo de reciclado. Para Domingo el tiempo es un bien primario pues es pasta de toda hechura, aplastando las aspiraciones de cantantes jovenes y con talento real. Esperemos suceda pronto lo inevitable: el retiro del gran Domingo. Sea por Dios.
Me gusta placido pero es mucho mejor con Mario Del Monaco. es una cancion Italiana exactamente napolitana, es como si un tenor italiano cantara zarzuela
Wow this is great!! I wish that Pavarotti made a recording of this song in the early years... I like his interpretation of this song from the 80's though.
El gran error de Domingo es que quiere cantarlas todas; todas las óperas, las operetas, las zarzuelas, boleros, tangos, rancheras, guarachas, etc. Nadie puede hacer eso y hacerlo bien. cada uno debe concretarse a lo que es adecuado para su voz. Por eso Plácido pone tantas tortas, por ejemplo, su pésimo Rigoletto.
Thank you - very beautiful song and very beautiful photos. I love the way Placido sings this song as A MAN. In this song girl asks "I don't underastand why MY mother forbids you to sing under my balcony". Placido changes the text and sings "YOUR mother", because it must be HE who sings under a balcony of the girl :-)
He's done it, too. He used to serenade Marta (and also her mother) when they were courting. He'd go hire a mariachi, but he'd do the singing. See his autobiography.

you're still my hero, but I think you sang it a little too fast. Compare it to Caruso and the way he caresses the words.

A very different arrangement from the others. Especially the lyrics…it's like he's singing it from another perspective at times?

The best tenor ever! Each song with his voice is just amazing... I'm melting listening, even being kitsch! :)

Domingo sings some songs extremely well. Others only so-so.
About three dozen versions of Musica Proibita, professional and amateur alike, have been posted on YouTube.
So far the "best," by which I mean extracts the most potential from the lyrics, is Alfredo Kraus's.
Check it out and see if you don't agree!
The last thing I want to do is get into a heated argument with anyone.
I'm merely sharing my own impression, not laying down the law.

I even like the Gobbi version better. Not to impugn Domingo's version, but I have to confess I don't think it's as good.

No es napolitana.Gastaldon was born in Turin and the words are good Italian,not Neapolitan.

Placido is Placido. But honestly this song was much better sang by singers like Mario del Monaco and G. Di Stefano.
