[sokker88]

[nazeer47]

[gheeah]

in carreras captures under lyrics.

[HMW]

in one of these engagements Don Alvaro is, as he supposes, mortally wounded, and confides to Don Carlos care a valise containing a bundle of letters which he is to destroy as soon as Don Alvaro dies. (Solenne in quest'ora - "Swear to me, in this solemn hour"). Don Carlo swears not to look at the contents of the letters in the duet.

[Krawi6]

They are both so wonderful, it is gorgeous singing. They were the perfect singers at la Scala at that time, also in Don Carlo. If you compare it with what we see now at la Scala, thinking of the Don Carlo some days ago. You can't help crying.

[castellomatese]

Breath-taking! How lucky for us that Carreras was a true artist who had to sing what he loved--what was in his soul. THANK YOU Onegin65; what a performance!

[stybboon]

[coranya]

It's so sad - I could cry... And if one listen carefully, one can hear a kind of reminiscence at Schubert's "Ave Maria" (flutes...)

[Sieglinde84]

Wasn't the same? It's a wonder he survived and he could sing after his illness. And he beats all the "tenors" of our days.

[Ankhsnammon]

Indeed,my friend!!!

They are so...warm in this scene!!!

Carreras' position....oh,my!!!!

Delightful!!!!

[eurydike]

@Sieglinde84 he is so admirable not only as a singer:-)

[canafinwe]

These two men were ideal an Verdi pairing.

How young here... how sweet...

[paulostroff99]

He was great until he became ill. He was never the same afterwards! Shame!

[operabitch77]

his illness was actually in the mid 80's. his voice was well on its way to the wobbly sound we now hear by his repeated attempts to sing heavy repitoire without the proper technique for it. he tended to oversing and pop into the top notes which in time severely hampered his delicate instrument. if he would have waited ten years before attempting these heavier roles, we would be talking about a different story for jose.

[paulostroff99]

A shame of a great much wasted talent!

[novice1959]

Hey - if he had waited ten years it would have been too late anyway!!!! He got leukemia in 1987. The longest the prime of his career COULD have lasted was 18 years.

[aguacun]

For a dying man is too much voice... may be is like a cat...with 9 souls?

[marokt]

Dont't forget, that he survives. Survives everybody. That is his destiny...

[monteverdi333]

Onegin65..... Do you have " The sable duet" its amazing singing too. Hope you can post it.

[baffetto77]

bellissimo duettino....

[gheeah]

is Jose Carreras ever handsome!

[steainsy]

beautiful singing, although once again they aren't entirely together at times.

[gheeah]

this is such a beautiful melody, what a voice, and so sad...
