Placido Domingo in The Merry Widow

[ocwmwen]

I love this music. I dance the Veleta Waltz to it twice a week. The singing is as near perfection as it is possible to get. And the lady must be one of the moat beautiful on this earth. I adore the bit where they dance together, it's a great extra touch. And,judging by the applause, the audience love it too.

He has a great voice - but why can't he sing it in English for once, so we can all understand it? I know that the composer was from Austria or Germany, but it would be so nice to be able to understand what they were singing about without having to do a degree in german. You could say that love has no language? Love knows good nor bad, but runs wherever the wild heart leads? Perhaps you are right....

[goerizal]

i can't speak german but the music and performance of the two and the orchestra more than compensate for that. they were all very good. thanks for the post.

Què màgico baile!

[JENNYGABRIELLI]

GENIAL, PLÁCIDO. EL MEJOR. ¡Qué preciosa melodía! ¡Qué detalle el bailar un poco! Momento mágico...

[sirpolopaul]

Could anyone tell me what's the name of the second song? Thanks!

[chulesq]

I like the exquisite phrasing of Hong. Yet, she doesn't miss a single syllable of the difficult German diction. She is great.

[fanjuveen]

What GREAT ennunciation by this lady - even in Deutsch - makes a really pleasant change to actually hear the words - so often the most serious failing with many top singers, the great Dame Joan S being probably the worst offender in this respect!

[peterkar]

@fanjuveen I agree about this lady's wonderful enunciation; but I award the 'worst enunciator' prize to Kiri te Kanawa......

[Fanfardon]

Uh, is there any opera Palcido has not sung in?

[TheLondonNewYork]

Ference Lehar is another great Hungarian composer. The music is amazing and full of emotion.

[Gotthard38]

she sings in a perfect german sprache.

[hiredguns1]

Franz Lehar is extremely underrated. If his output had matched Strauss, so would his reputation, I believe. If you like this, listen to his "Gold and Silver Waltz", the most beautiful waltz I think of all time.

[MotherIlona56]

These 3 tenors are so great! Wonderful video! Lizzy _Tish

[ticovaldezmd]

They're cute together. But the best part of this Lehar classic is the last one third, from 3:13 and particularly from 4:05 to the fin.

[folsomgurl87]

amazingly beautiful

[balletnut]

I'm a great fan of Domingo. This is fab.

Why does Doming ALWAYS look as if he's going to burst out laughing? That's not a complaint, by the way. His acting is second to none and his singing.......

[peterkar]

It might be because he feels he's well advanced in his seduction project with yet another beautiful young woman.......

[jancicka]

lovely and beautiful..a really like this song it´s so wonferful..thaks

[LFP2010]
