Aleksandrs Antonenko sings Don José "La fleur que tu m'avais jetée"

[XP11XP]

He has improved a lot since 2005. His Hermann is breathtaking!

[Miguelardos]

Too much wobble for a young tenor

[eurydike]

i liked his Dmitri in Boris Godunov,MET, Live in HD.

[SopranoLili]

Nice voice, but the French is really bad (but then only we French manage that properly, it IS a dreadful language for singing)

[LordHettrick]

3:28 That's should be a pianissimo!!! Does he even know what he's singing???  Just like in his Boris Godunov at the Met, he simply throwing notes. No interpretation; he could be singing a shopping list. Oh, and of course, you don't understand a word.

[cleanears]

another flash in the pan!

[ah332]

weak ass applause

[tamburmaggiore]

La voce è spessa ed importante, ma l'interprete è veramente modesto. C'è da dire che il video è vecchiotto per cui le cose potrebbero essere migliorate, anche se l'Otello di Muti non mi entusiasma nemmeno un po'

[rocchisal]

Meu Deus, essa Carmen (Nadia Krasteva) é belíssima!!!

[xav71176]

He can't take his eyes off her lol

Pretty good singing performance, I'm not a big fan of his acting though

The French diction should be improved too

[vkdasniper]

DUDE! alex is my uncle!

[vickersman]

the final note would be flat if he was singing a B, but he sang a B flat, and in tune.This is a good voice that shows promiss.Hope he doesn't rush into heavier roles too soon, but I suspect he'll end up as a Wagner specialist-it should suit him well.

[searnold56]

Well It must be. He's singing E Lucevan at the Met 125th Anniversary Gala in March.

[baritonoguapo]

Yes, his Met debut is this spring as well, as the Prince in Rusalka. Kind of a thankless role for a tenor of his calibre, but I'm sure he will progress on to some better things.

[JBL228]

Next season he is singing Luigi in "Il Tabarro". Talk about smoldering...

[searnold56]

I wouldnt say laboured. just hasnt really grown into his whole voice yet

[baritonoguapo]

If you have a chance, watch some videos on youtube from his recent Otello at Salzburg. It has been a few years, and he's gained a measure of robustness and control. I find it to be a very promising voice!

[baritonoguapo]

And here he is only 30 years old.

[Pawelp]

Hmm.. laboured voice. The final B is off pitch...

[vickersman]

not flat Pawlep...in tune and a B flat not a B.

[Pawelp]

Thanks for the correction, you're right! Pardon the ignorance...youtube is full of it, anyway.. sorry to have contributed to it... bah. :)

[vickersman]

Pawlep -you are FAR from ignorant.You continue to make valuable contributions to this site.But let's face it-we aren't re-writing "Grove Dictionary of Music".Most comments are knee-jerk reactions based on personal opinion and not objective.But, even those opinions have a place.I've made a few bonehead comments of my own-like confusing head voice and falseto.I know better,but this is not a serious forum and afterall, when all comments are considered,many

are from the heart , not the head. Best

[Pawelp]

Thanks Vickermans, I try not to be ignorant at least. I love how at least some people like you are civil and educated enough to reason in Youtube comments.. it gets ugly so often. :) All the best to you and Antonenko!
