"O sole mio" - Placido Domingo

[ZonicTM]

La piel de gallina *-*

[Nawrozmusic]

I saw Placido Domingo live in Toronto at 70 year old, he was a legend among us

[nanabexhoeft]

A truly magnificent voice. An heroic baritone with tenor capabilities ~ what a mix. I love his voice. And he's a nice man, too.

[stevevandien]

By his own admission (on the Dick Cavett Show in 1979), Domingo was NEVER truly a baritone. He sang in that register early on because he didn't know how to access the tenor acuti.

That's why Domingo's Boccanegra, although respectful, was not first-rate. His climaxes in this role were those of a tenor, not a baritone. A big-voiced tenor's G above the staff is simply less exciting than that of a big-voiced baritone.

[HazaelAlighieri21]

FUCK MAN! UNDERSTAND YOU 7 PEOPLE THE THUMB DOWN ISN'T MEAN DOWNLOAD!!!

[iahdai576814]

@HazaelAlighieri21 Fuck you.

[HazaelAlighieri21]

@iahdai576814 Only for you, I will fuck me. and then what? Would you like to make you a cake too?

[iahdai576814]

@HazaelAlighieri21 Shut Up Asshole.

[HazaelAlighieri21]

@iahdai576814 Sorry but I can't Shut up YOUR ass hole. Sorry that's a work for you.

[iahdai576814]

@HazaelAlighieri21 Fucking asshole, I speak Italian and English, which languages​you know, wait I say, ONLY ENGLISH, ignorant shit.

[HazaelAlighieri21]

@iahdai576814 Let me tell you, that I speak a little bit of Italian, I learn English, but my original lenguage its Spanish, and is one of the most harder to learn, too much Grammtical rules, so, hope you have a firetruckin' day

[iahdai576814]

@HazaelAlighieri21 Tambien se Español, porque insulta a un gran Tenor, que le pasa.

[HazaelAlighieri21]

@iahdai576814 Disculpe si me mal entendi. Lo que quise decir fue, Maldita sea gente, aprendan que el boton de pulgar abajo no es el boton de descarga. Haciendo dar a notar porque esta cancion interpretada por este gran tenor tiene votos negativos. NO LO ENTIENDO

[mcnesta80]

@iahdai576814 Alors, si on ne parlons pas italien, qu'on ne parlons qu'anglais!!! Wow you speak English, that means you must be really well educated...in hollywood films and pop music. I learned to read French and German so I can read great contemporary philosophers. Funny how I never felt a need to learn Italian.

[millonety123]

@StevenSWM, don't worry with your tribulations¡ Don't ask to sugarbist about opera, he's only a tifosi's trainer. Follow your heart¡ you don't need anything more¡

[MaryMRevis]

*Sigh*..I just spend the last 2 hours sitting here listening to Domingo, Pavarotti, Caruso, Carreras, Licitra and Lanza. MAN my feet may NEVER FREAKING hit he ground again!!

[millonety123]

@TheInquisitive4Ever, eres muy graciosillo, te ganas la vida asi? Que pasa? no te dan para mas tus dos podridas neuronas? Sabes de marketing, eh? Eres un estudioso del odio y la envidia? Buscate un desierto y pierdete en el.

[tourdance21]

Placido is great, this theme fits very well, it's a wonder we have not lost their voice as well as many others who succumbed to the criticism of the "experts"

[cantatore11]

@AmarcordItalia Miguel Fleta ist weit besser!!!

[pekimartin]

shower song : ))))

[THESPINTO]

guacala...

[realmadrid346]

best tenor of all times

[marcoamedrano]

An intensity of voice much more similar to Enrico Caruso's intensity than anyone else. A Truly unique voice. What exactly is "Hispanic" sound in Opera?

[bodiloto]

Che bella cosa?Sei contento perche il sole brilla soltanto per te...poveretto!

[christianoersted]

Bello, hermoso, qué puedo decir''?? GRACIAS

[sfeet82]

Guy's we are talking about placido domingo.. not american idol or.. i don'tknow.. x factor.. so, please.. respect!!

and i'm italian and.. italian pronounce is good...

[TheSF1982]

go and watch ' O sole mio - Di Capua - tenor SF'

[pompeyoelmagno]

This version is the most romantic I've heard ... as should be ... it is a song about love ... how important it is that other person ...

[jbjonny3]

Lovely, rich, controlled.. it's like listening to deep grained wood in 3-D.

[scn6f]

best version

[fransuarico]

sin duda el mejor de todos los tiempos (p.domingo)

[Carmenala]

Totally beautiful. We have been blessed with voices like this and several others and this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. I do not know the words, but makes no difference - the beauty is breath taking. He surely sings with the Angels.

[sugarbist]

@Carmenala DONT WORRY HE DIDNT GET SOME OF THE WORDS RIGHT EITHER JUST ENJY

[TorturedXeno]

Is this version a step or two below the Pavarotti version?

[31operafan]

@TorturedXeno I believe this was how the song was originally written. But you're right, it is a bit lower than Pavarotti's version of the song. I think this version is easier on the voice. Plus, Domingo always had a very dark tenor voice, close to a baritone. High notes don't come easy to him.

[berc75]

Yes !Its fantastic

[TheGustavofire]

TEMASO ..PRONTO VIENE UN TEMA MIO...

[serafitta]

great!!!

[salomonreyvenezolano]

es Tenor dramático, uno de los pocos que existen en la historia de la ópera. Su nota mas aguda es un si natural.

[sugarbist]

@salomonreyvenezolano ITS OK FOR YOU TO LIKE HIM BUT HES DEFINITELY NOT A DRAMATIC TENOR AT ALL.HES A LIRICO SPINTO AT BEST. I HEARD HIM IN PAGLIACCI ABOUT 12 YEARS AGO. HE COULD HARDLY BE HEARD . HE SOUNDS MUCH BETTER ON RECORDS BECAUSE OF STUDIO ENHANCEMENT & HE HAS A NICE QUALITY OF VOICE. IF YOU WANT TO HEAR SOME DRAMATIC STUFF TRY DEL MONACO ,VINAY,DE MURO,PICCALUGA. DOMINGO HAS A MORE VELVET QUALITY TO HIS VOICE AND MANY OF THE SPINTO ROLES ARE TOO BIG FOR HIM

[StevenSWM]

@sugarbist Odd you say this, especially when all the world has had such numerous oppertunities to actually compare his voice to other "dramatic" tenor's. After all, he's one of "The Three Tenors", and when singing sandwiched between the other two...Placido belts it out like no other! And surely you aren't saying that Pavarotti isn't a dramatic tenor also. Placido not only holds his own, but surpassas all of them...hell, his record and history speaks for itself. Oh well, opinions do vary.

[sugarbist]

@StevenSWM I'm definitely saying that Pavarotti is NOT a DRAMATIC tenor.Pavarotti's signature roles are Lucia,Daughter of the Regiment,L'EsireD'amore. La Boheme,Rigoletto,which are all lyric roles.Because of the squillo in his voice&good facility with his high notes he was able to sing some spinto roles. But for the most part he really didnt do that well in Aida Chenier Trovatore Ernani&Pagliaci,etc.This does not diminish the greatness that Pavarotti achieved in his career(continued)

[sugarbist]

@StevenSWM I would say that all 3 tenors are lyric spinto at best which leaves categories above them which are Spinto, Corelli,Tucker Lauri Volpi Caruso in this category&Dramatic with DelMonaco,Vinay,Piccaluga,Paol­i,Tamagno&Zenatello to name a few in this category.There is heldon tenor above this,but i'm not going there.The3 tenors could not compete with the dramatic tenors I mention here neither in size of voice nor dramatic Impact.Zenatello&Del Monaco were Monsters when it came to Otello

[StevenSWM]

@sugarbist I will definitely yield to your richer experience on this matter. Like an art critic when asked about the authenticity of a certain masterpiece, he said, “While I cannot duplicate a single brushstroke myself, I do know great artwork when I see it!” I do know a little about music, sound, voice clarity, range, etc., but not so much in the classical direction. Truly, I didn’t know classical singers got any more “dramatic range” to their voices, than the likes of Domingo and Pavarotti.

[sugarbist]

@StevenSWM A tenor may be great without being in a dramatic category,asGigli was& at times DiStefano was great, so it really shouldn't diminish the status of a singer just because he's lyric or lyric spinto.You can look up the names of the tenors I mentioned& see what you think, Even though I have my favorites,I try to search for other tenors I may enjoy or find interesting.I Try Barioni,Campagnano,Gino Penno just to get away from The more famous name tenors& at times I find it refreshing Enjoy

[306144626]

este señor es todo un maestro del canto, mis respetos tiene una voz bellisima

[thierry3131]

TheInquisitive4Ever you're stupid an ignorant, study music and opera before writing things that u don't know.. Limited voice Domingo? ah ah ah..u made me laugh thanks

[Grabefruit]

great singer.. baritone with high vocal range.. many of tenors would be jealous of DOmingo's voice.

[Rosieisapunk1200]

@Grabefruit He's a tenor.

[emf1918]

@Rosieisapunk1200 He began as a baritone then progressed to tenor roles, now he has returned to his roots as a baritone. The secret to a lengthy and wonderful career!!

[sabina27xx]

beautiful lyrics the best song in the world was born in ITALY...GREAT

[theodorehui]

so nice

[UnTicPiticMic]

just love him

[DTGeek155]

And wrong. He started as an opera Baritone. Learn your opera history.

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

Baritone? No shit Sherlock! The only reason he morphed himself into a tenor (and a highly overrated one at that) is by over extending his vocal range which resulted in a hooted, throaty and pushed sound. I guessing he did that for the money as tenors get paid much better.

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

The only shitting (using your tasteless and feeble English) is done by Domingo. He's decimating this beautiful Italian song with his hispanic sound, which is troaty, hooted, monochromatic and pushed. Listen to Pavarotti's rendition. You'll get an idea on how it should be sung.

[TheSHadowV]

His pronunciation is impeccable. Why is it that people say it's a Hispanic sound whenever they refer to him. I hate that. He is a dramatic tenor. His tone is darker more like a baritone. Thats the voice type. He's one of the greatest tenors of the last 30 years. If you like Pavarotti it's because you like the sweeter sound of a Lyric or Spinto tenor. Franco Corelli who is also Italian has a similar quality as Dominingo and his rendition of this song is amazing.

[libetta]

@TheSHadowV

his "hispanic" sound actually captures this song very well. after all, he's a baritone before becoming a tenor! and he actually has a sweeter tone than Pavarotti ever had, he sounds excellent here

[VincentRicciardi]

@libetta Also, Neapolitan at its root is an amalgam of Italian, Spanish and Greek.

[DTGeek155]

So, do you just try to be a dick? Or in case you hadn't noticed, Domingo was and is considered one of the best tenors in world. And he's a class act. And as far as cuttin' other people down: really, it's a disgrace to this song. Go comment on a death metal band.

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

MINGO's vibrato is surely lacking, which makes this rendition of O Sole Mio a pedestrian interpretation at best

[Huljic]

Man don`t shit he is great!!!

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

Sandrik-Try to speak English? The damage you incurred from the blow by the Russians seems to take a toll on your feeble brain. Now crawl back to the crap hole in your native Georgia which you inherited from your submissive ancestors and hope that you will make it through the next winter by the benevolent "donations" of others.

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

Someone should give him a DVD of Pavarotti so that he can remember how O Sole Mio should be sung. LoL

[sandrik100]

Someone should bit you very well with a stick bugbear of cithen garden!
