P. Domingo & R. Villazon "E lui desso l'infante" Don Ca

[edmanetti]

mmmh terrible....

[dchemaly396]

OMG I must admit Domingo has done a few good things as a baritone, but Rodrigo? (Really, Rodrigo?) Oh no!!! Terrible. In fact he sounds here alike a purely spinto tenor - far from a Verdian baritone. Oh no!!!!!!!!

[MrDiabo76]

è una cosa penosa...

[ShawDAMAN]

[macbeth55]

Orrendo.....

[starwarkermx]

@macbeth55 Tu puta madre!

[wattever333]

if he could only control his lacrimoseness. (lacrimosity? lacrimosità? LOL), and his nasality,

and if he could have some facial expressions (other than "look at how difficult this is"),

he would be great.

[renamunich1]

@wattever333 but it is a difficult area and the content is tragic! and after the concert the problems with his voice did start! so how could he look happily?

[ranigema]

it's divine. simply divine

[voncarmelo]

ORRIBILE!!!!

[muatlas]

Domingo is not of this earth.

[betylu18]

¡¡Conmovedor cuando apoyan las manos en los hombros!!..se aprecia tanto cariño y admiración mutua....¡¡GRANDES HOMBRES PLACIDO Y ROLANDO!!

[31122051]

SPLENDIDO ESEMPIO DI COME DUE INTERPRETI NON C'ENTRINO UN TUBO CON QUELLO CHE STANNO CANTANDO. TRA UN DOMINGO CHE NON SA LA PARTE E CHE DEL BARITONO VERDIANO NON HAN PROPRIO NULLA E UN VILLAZON VOCIFERANTE E TECNICAMENTE SCARSO, ANZI DEVASTATO ( PER NON PARLARE POI DEL GUSTO E DELLO STILE, A DIR POCO ORRENDI ), IL RISULTATO COMPLESSIVO FA SEMPLICEMENTE RIDERE.

[josemuso1]

Extremely GOOD, Bravi!!!!!!!!!!JRT

[VolkgartenBySquirrel]

When did he go Baritone? This is - historical!

[acalanesman22]

Oh my god Domingo as Don GIovanni. that would be too amazing.

[ezev8logos]

This will going to be one historical moment in the music for future generations!!!

Domingo sounds truly as a bariton. he is like a complete diferent artist here

[lialida]

Love Villazon!

[expatmartin]

Tenor or baritone Domingo is simply amazing: the stunning quality no matter whether it is 1970, 80,90 or 2000 and as we see still stunning in nearlly 2010

Bravo Placido!

[vilabreze]

For everyone's information:

Placido Domingo otiginally sang baritone roles and later switched to his world-renowned tenor reprtoir. He is now very successfully performing baritone roles again--most recently, Simone Boccanegra--to a great acclaim.

[dkcel]

Indeed...two tenors.

Eventhough it's a nice try from Domingo'so side, the sound of a Baryton doesn't come close. I much prefer Domingo in the tenor role of Carlos as when he sang this wonderful duet with Sherril Milnes years ago. But OK, it's a live performance and you have to give the public something they can thrive with. But let's stick to the real thing....a baryton/tenor duet please.

[chrizosthemis]

two tenors?

[zi299792458]

Bravissimo Domingo, bravissimo Villazon ! Just wonderful, both of them

[bodiloto]

- 100 !!!!!.........................­

[francescop1023]

incredibile, che grande musicista è Domingo, gli errori del libretto non sono importanti, un'autentica lezione di canto all'urlatore che ha accanto

[Orosmann]

Fantastico Domingo encarnando a Rodrigo. Que fenómeno de superviviencia y que bien conservada la voz. Espero que luego de su debut en 2009 como Boccanegra comience a cantar varios roles de barítono. De todos modos debería haber estudiado mejor la parte porque comete errores en el texto pero se perfonan. Que pena Villazon... mucho mas joven y en pleno goce de medios vocales, lo único que hace es gritar como de costumbre y deformar la vocales en zonas comodas del registro.

[elicullen]

dite quello che volete ma domingo è grande anche come baritono anche se la sua performance come don carlos è stupefacento certo sono passati anche 25 anni dal metropolitan..

[bobovvbobo]

BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[lardenss]

muy buen tema

[tenore88]

Domingo ha già interpretato il ruolo di Figaro nel "Barbiere" di Abbado per la DG e si mormora per il 2009 di un suo debutto nel ruolo del titolo di "Simon Boccanegra"....vedremo....

[ilbacioditosca]

I hope some baritones can sound like Domingo as Possa.

Can you see that it sound better with the right brillance in the voice?

[Leluride]

più che altro domingo inventa il libretto!!!!!!!

[grubiforever]

che coooosa domingo come baritono??? perdonate..ma qualsiasi scassato baritono del vero registro di baritono è più adatto a cantare questo pezzo questo ruolo in concerto o meno..certo è simbolica come scelta ma no no e no!!!

[Leluride]

purtroppo dissentiamo anche noi.

I timbri non sono affatto differenziati, come dovrebbe essere in quest'aria.

[dragig00]

La voix de Domingo sonne très bien comme baryton et Villazon chante aussi très bien

bravo

[ilmaestro18]

Gosh, Domingo really sounds terrific as a baritone. I wonder if instead of retiring from singing completely, he'll just switch to singing baritone roles. Simon Boccanegra at the Met, La Scala, Vienna in the 2009-2010 season will definitely be a terrific opportunity to launch a new career as a baritone. Maybe he'll finally be able to sing Don Giovanni after all.

[sergiotmujica]

well... Vinay switched to baritone in the early sixties... why shouldn't Domingo do it too! Great singing! Bravi!

[crwv]

vinay did it because he blew out his voice....

[sergiotmujica]

actually Vinay's cycle was baritone-tenor-baritone-bass

[santoremedio2005]

no tengo palabras para describir esta emocionante interpretación.

[gtelloz]

Wow, domingo sounds really interesting here, givin me more hints about how's goin to be hid upcoming Boccanegra...Villazon is disastrous here, terrible diction, and missing many many notes, a shame.

[VivaMariaCallas]

Interesting choice for the two... more of a symbolic choice than an artistic one, IMO. The two's voices, for me, are so similar in the general colour, it sounds a bit like two Don Carlos singing simultaneously. Still, this is enjoyable.

Domingo is clearly still feeling this duet as Don Carlo rather than Rodrigo.; he even starts sing as Don Carlo at 5:05 before realizing that he is the baritone in this instance.

[Operaphile]

Hehehee, 5:05!!! Villazon is stunning!!! It's like Domingo and "Mini-Me".

Verdi ROCKS!!!!!!!!!
