IN HIS PRIME BRAVO FRANCISCO BRAVO

[sarado88]

Wonderful performance of Araiza!! Incredible high C.. refined legatto and perfect phrasing.. Bravo!!!

Samekind of superhero as a Lyric tenor is Franck Lopardo....he too amazes me, like Araiza...what a power, but still "just" a Lyric tenor...ok, repertoar is the key...but it does not explain why they have same power like so called Spintos, a true dramatic voices? Anyone?

[maferreira1984]

Seems to me that this should be the real parameter for lyric tenors. If you hear the great ones, such as Araiza, Gedda, Wunderlicht and, say, the 'late' Pavarotti, you'll find a lot of bright, metal and power, along with the legato and the warmth of the lyric voice. Araiza doesn't sound dark as a dramatic or spinto to me, but as a mature and rich full lyric. Besides, as a specialist in Mozart, he also adds the incredible dynamics and sensibility, and a great acting technique. Amazing.

[1Ooppera]

Yeah man...its just the those wonders of nature, these supersingers do what they want with their perfect tech...amazing!

How do you find young Domingo?In my ears he sounds quite similar with Araiza..i mean what comes to the weight in the voice..powerful and warm, metallic lyric voice.

[1Ooppera]

Please tell me, i know something about singing, but obviously not enough? Araiza has wide variety in his instrument, perfect technique... which everybody calls him Lyric tenor, which he is...from Rossini to Verdi...but here i hear more dramatic tones and timbre, spinto qualities in his voice..does anyone agree? I have aöwways wondered his voice...ok he knows how to use it but still..?

[aguacun]

[ilbacioditosca]

He is the best Alfredo ever, perfect diction, perfect Bflat and the C sostenuto, plus very heroic delivery. Amazing!!!!!

[luciano1935]

did you forget Kraus? Yes, Araiza is really good, but when you are talking of "the best", you can't forget Kraus, is simply phenomenal. I love the Araiza C's, but Kraus is the monster in this rol.

[mediterraneo1000]

so?you must gone to krauss

[WINSTONS123]

@luciano1935

but kraus doesn't have a big voice like araiza.

[diehlan]

Mierda que voz !!! Asi se canta Alfredo !!!

[tomasjuhasz]

Bravo Araiza,perfect singing!!!

[canzonettasullaria]

Then listen to Michael Spyres singing this aria here on youtube.

[ilbacioditosca]

Why you want to compare Araiza with Spyres?

Araiza is a first class singer.

[galouzine]

Verdaderamente esto se canta así. No tengo palabras para describir la emoción que me causa este video cada vez que lo veo. Gran artista, cantante, actor, músico...Bravo!!!

[Vielflieger01]

Araiza sings a very convincing Alfredo with an impeccable vocal technique and the best high C I have heard in La Traviata! ...just wonderful!!
