La Fleur - Joseph Calleja

[baltoman24]

Superb control throughout, absolutely beautiful. How could Carmen not believe this Don Jose?!!! Hope he may have a great, and long, career.

Nagy kár, hogy a feltöltő nem írta oda a zeneszerzőt és az opera és az ária címét.

Megkerestem és ide írom:

Georges Bizet: Carmen

La fleur que tu m'avais jetée - Don José áriája, a Virág-dal (második felvonás)

[Lovelytenor1]

Warm & lovely. Perhaps the prettiest tenor voice before the public today.

[gatticasazza]

Great progress I must say

[Corvastus]

I hear Jussi Bjorling. I swear it.

[1210Jazz]

Me too.

Yes i also agree, he has a very beautiful voice and i also like the slightly slower vibrato he uses here.

That said, he has some problems with his timing, rushing the endings of the phrases.

Regardless of what tempi he uses in different places i wish he was able to better connect them into a whole.

This is fixable, Kaufmanns crappy sound is not, so i guess he has a shot at becoming the "best" tenor of the early 21th century ;)

[cornificius22vain]

very good, but he should also learn the lyrics

[FNouvionGrandiTenori]

Bravo Calleja!!!

[chrisvetera]

Awesome He Should be the best lyric tenor od 21Th century. Note that he only have 30 year old.

Great future.

God bless

One thing I'll say for this singer is he seems to continually improve. There are some times I've heard him where he did not sound very good, but he has the potential to become truly great I believe. This clip shows real promise. He is young. It is exciting to watch him mature.

look how many empty seats there were in the audiences :(

[seb8791]

Calleja hear replaced an artist of a different fach at pretty short notice. The circumstances were strange and the original singer was sued. There were some inevitable returns.

[DivaNoble]

Looks like it, but actually there isn't if you look closely. I was present and it was virtually sold out - very few returns when it became know that Schrott was being replaced with Calleja / Lisnic.

[ShawDAMAN]

WOW

Why isn't he more famous? Sounds like a great lyric/spinto voice. Nice technique, phrasing.....

[ShawDAMAN]

Perhaps I'm mistaken- his voice is classified as light lyric- but doese anyone agree he has a tiny touch of baritone to hsi voice?

[DivaNoble]

Not mistaken - Paul Asciak has often (and in liner notes) described that when he started teaching Calleja, they did not know if he would turn out Tenor or Baritone. I for one is very pleased that was tenor!! Boy what a voice!

[ShawDAMAN]

Thanks! :) Yes, very nice tenor voice... Sounds like it might darken well too.

[Jussi1946]

WHat an incredible version. This is even better than the one which was one before. The diminuendo is cleaner and the high B flat fuller. For me this rendition ranks with the very great!!!

[Pawelp]

Dreamy legato... :)

[FNouvionGrandiTenori]

What a great singer!
