Placido Domingo & Kathleen Battle in Libiamo & Merry widow

[numetutelare]

Domingo é ancora un tenore ragguardevole, la Battle é bravina ma nulla più...d'altronde é una buona vocalista, e la tecnica la sostiene molto bene.

[Shodansixtyone]

[djseo1]

This is just...heavenly!

[Dilhan777]

Magnificient!

[FigaroBravo]

This is the King at his best, singing with one of the most beautiful voice in the world....A princess. It is truly a dream and shall I say a ...Live happy ever after. Wonderful singing from the great Domingo.

Bravo! 6 stars if permitted.

[JEANHIKER]

Three great stars: Battle, Domingo and Levine. Beautiful, though it's not so good to at Kathleen's face, more precisely at her lips, specially on high notes. It's a mania of her, that's ok! But her voice is simply marvellous, one of the most beautiful one I have ever heard, along with Leontina Vaduva (listen to her Micaella). Placido is simply the most recorded tenor, and great one. I adore all of the three!

[TheAleph74]

Bravisimaaaa!!!

[blkchk]

Well except for one of the encores, that is.

[blkchk]

Music is the uniter...an African American woman, a Spaniard, singing in Tokyo, singing in languages that are foreign to all. I Love it.

[tnmtemerity]

@blkchk The Merry Widow is in English - did you listen to the whole clip?

[BethDiane]

And kudos to the concertmaster for that violin solo!

[chalermsri11110]

very good

[Babs22h]

my favorite part of libiamo are those wonderous trills at the end... i wonder why they decided against them in this performance

[Suki40330]

Placido and Kathleen are stupendi!!! Placido is unequalled even until today. He's the greatest. What an artist.

[Liwah]

Kathleeen is AMAZING but I'm also impressed with how Placido modulated the volume of his dramatic tenor voice as he wouldhave totally drowned out her soubrette if he was singing with his entire capital.

Two fantastic artists.

[eurydike]

@Liwah he behaved so gentlemanly:-)))

[TheAleph74]

It's so cute to see Kathy singing this duet!

[Brownmuscle2007]

Gorgeous, this was one of the Met's great performance in Japan. The orchestra sounded wonderful and I felt loved by these great artists' music

[yn65he]
