Ave Maria (Caccini) - Hayley Westenra & Tomotaka Okamoto (2007 TV Asahi)

[amordelua]

Hayley & Tomotaka what a beautiful duet. Tomotaka enchants us with his angelical voice! WOOOOOW! I love the video and I am publishing it on my facebook!

[eiskatze]

I'd kill to have a voice like Okamoto, even if I were to be reborn as a man.

[kadeespatch]

would you call him a countertenor??? mmmm in parts yes others i would say no just my opinion

[lambertus1962]

Fantastic!!!! Combination of the soprano with the countertenor, and the orchestra is colouring with a warm sound! Bravisssimo!!!

[DeadVargas]

Dear Lord, who is the multicolored figure next to the beautiful girl?

[katrine1021]

Can you that they were both standing far from the microphone?! Genius.

[N1ckGamer]

the both of them are just awesome.

[RicoS07Tx]

Genius is just amazing Duet what a Great Performance!

[epidyx]

small problem in the part of 1:45

What a pity!!!!

[falernoducande1961]

this piece is not obscene and not a Caccini Ave mariam

Ave Maria, gratia plena,

Dominus tecum,

benedicta tu in mulieribus,

et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.

Sancta Maria, mater Dei,

ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.

Amen.

[falernoducande1961]

OSCENO

OBSCENE

[AimeeGon1999]

Lovely Ave Marie I ever heard :)

[edin201x]

I am speechless. I knew the angelic voice of Westenra, but I wasn't aware of this excellent countertenor. This rendition is superb!

[snake42063]

i feel sad for hayleys sake. damn she looks afraid of him. all of male singers she sings toghether looks retarded in one way or another ?? like the other chinese pop-dude in another video. and that teddy taharo or tiddy as she says, he sings lie chewbacca in starwars. hayley go get yourself another manager hwom not putting you together with this freakshow-material :)

[yvesguillaumond]

Magnifique !!! L'émotion est au rendez vous :)

[rudy1938]

Of all recordings of this Ave Maria by Caccini (see Spotify)

is this the most wonderful and beautiful performance,

surely with this solists and Orchestral acc.

[Tayuku28]

She's completely missing the drama in this piece, and Okamoto dulls even further, otherwise, it's quite soothing.

[superarona]

@Tayuku28 would love to see what real opera looks like. Can you share a link?

[TheMattGosselin]

@superarona watch?v=HIeCthPXJiw&feature=re­lated, Sumi Jo sings it beautifully. For me, it's the benchmark.

[MrZaack]

Marveilleuse!!!Bavo!!!!1

[ABREMU]

Fantastique! Fantastic !

[jajeeman]

smart girl......  she's keeping her distance! Westenra jozu na.

[Walterdez]

Two words::: Sweet and Lovely..

Hayley you are a GENIUS

[BrainBuggered]

I'm assuming the clown is a man - never thought I'd hear HW duet with a dude and she had the higher voice!

[38no8810]

That's right.
