espectacular, llena de brillantez...fleta canta con el alkma..es tan intemporal como luis mariano, krauss, schippa, carusso, lanza y otros mjuy pocos...ved la version de deanna durbin, schippa y ortiz tirado...son bellísimas

[mariocorbo1939]

Miguel Fleta vive en el alma de aquellos que gustamos escuchar a los buenos tenores. Su memoria está más allá de cualquier ideología y su dulce voz se proyecta vencedora a través de las borrascas de los tiempos y las épocas.-Desde Uruguay, un saludo a jurek46pink por colgar esta hermosa canción.-

[mstipich1]

I love Spain and its people, let alone its talented individuals like Fleta. DO not ever forget that the 52.000 best sons of the world joined International brigades (incl. 8.000 from ex-Yugoslavia) to help proud spanish peple to defend democracy from fascist. Many of them left their bones in Spain. Ethernal Glory to their brave sacrifice.

[mstipich1]

Is that a Republican army uniform or, may be, International brigades' one ?

[pedromontijano]

@mstipich1 THIS IS THE FALANGE ESPAÑOLA UNIFORM (GENERALISIMO FRANCO ARMY)

THE INTERNATIONAL BRIGADES USED THE MOTHERFUCKER UNIFORM.

[mariarodriguesgomes]

esta musica faz a gente viajar........ lindissima

[adbello]

Fleta demuestra que no todos los de la epoca eran comunistas. El glorioso uniforme de la Falange brilla por el amor a la patria de los que se lo pusieron. En esa epoca o se era pro-comunista o anti-comunista. No habia punto medio. Ambos lados cometieron atrocidades, asi que no vamos a hacernos las pobres victimas e intentar cambiar la historia. Un saludo.

W takich chwilach przemijanie ....boli... Amapola my love!!!! Oba wykonania cudowne przez swoją delikatność. Stokrotne dzięki!!

[TonyLoboHook]

Que grande fuiste Miguel, que pena que te fueras tran pronto con escasos 41 años, cuanto te quedaba por enseñar maestro. RIP

[IsaibnYahia]

Maravillosa canción y maravillosa voz de uno de los mejores tenores de todos los

tiempos. ¡Lastima que no hayan tneido mejor foto que poner que aquella -de circunstancias de la época-con el odioso uniforme de la falange fascista!

[pedromontijano]

@IsaibnYahia CADA CUAL USA EL UNIFORME EN EL QUE CREE, EL GENIAL FLEITA USA EL DE FALANGE COMO TU MADRE USA EL DE LA WISKERIA DONDE TRABAJA

SALUDO A FLEITA!!

ARRIBA ESPAÑA!!

[KIMALIA54]

@pedromontijano Leiste la respuesta de Isaibn Yahia?,ha dado una lección a tu incultura.

[IsaibnYahia]

@IsaibnYahia

Si supieras de que va la cosa sabrias que Fleta tuvo que ponerse el uniforme fascista por imperativo de las circunstancias, para evitar que le perjudicaran sus entusiasmos republicanos de años antes, por cierto grabó en un disco el Himno Nacional de la Republica Española -El himno de Riego- y en la otra cara una versión en castellano de "La Marsellesa". En cuanto a tus insultos a mi madre -muerta- no ofende quien quiere sino quien puede. Zur Hölle mit dir dreckig Nazi!

[KIMALIA54]

@IsaibnYahia Que bién le has respondido a pedromontijano,me ha encantado.Saludos.

[TheRenamay]

Super - Bravo:

[AulicExclusiva]

Sung with surprising grace. Beautiful.

[Corrie121]

WOW !!! This is stupendous !! What a powerful rendition of this beautiful song. Another rare addition to my Amapola "Playlist".

Thank you for sharing this gem.

[tutankhamen777]

Thanks for posting this song by perhaps the greatest tenor...

[thegirlofmusic1]

wonderful performance!

[HAMENKLAVIER480]

WAOO NI JUAN DIEGO ,,,,,,,,

[Cantormatis]

One of the most virile and outstanding tenors of his or any day. Incredible control, high notes, and I think great flair.

[macatcas]

My father serenaded me with this song when I was just a tiny girl. I heard the guitar first, I came out on the stairwell and then he began to sing in his rich baritone. I thought that I was a princess. It made me a hopeless romantic. I can't sing this without crying. Thank you for this very soulful version.

[horowitz109]

The most complete tenor voice that can be heard on records.

[tenorismo]

@horowitz109 I belive that certin voices in particular Fleta , and Caruso were perfect for the mechanical process. I wonder how many modern tenores ,say Mario Del Monaco or Pavarotti would have faired if they only had mechanical recordings ?

[sbd650]

Very like that version, too!

[sbd650]

2:50-3:19!

[jurek46pink]

@ellesig71

Gracias !

[huitzilapotli]

la mejor versiòn de este hermoso poema cantado....el màs grande de españa junto a don alfredo krauss

[TeresitaLaGuera]

this is fabulous. Thank you so much

[Kievest]

Flawless beauty, emotional warmth,

Carusoesque golden tones, and

inspired interpretation...Great to hear

the words and feelings play in his

glorious voice! Thank you for posting!

[jd03150]

There are hundreds of recordings of this haunting melody from this period, and Fleta's is one of the best. You might also punch up a James Melton version for comparison.

[MrOrsolich]

Fleta, Schipa, Orsolich...que tres, mario.

[antfreire]

I love the uniform Comrade Miguel is wearing. it was 1937.....Cara al sol con la camisa nueva que tu bordaste en rojo ayer.

[jurek46pink]

Gracias !

[elgorguz51]

@antfreire que vergüenza, uniforme de asesinos!

[ElPiconeroalCognac]

I always love it when someone asks me who I think is the greatest tenor ever. I get to say, "Oh, easily Miguel Fleta." to a response of "Who's that?!" No, not Caurso, not Corelli, although I love both, but Fleta. That he died so young is a such a tragedy.

[jurek46pink]

Thank you !

[xmurli]

I like his singing.

[auroraescales]

Miguel Burro Fleta...insigne tenor...maravilloso.

[AulicExclusiva]

Hermoso disco, de una interpretación llena de ternura. Gracias.

[racheleleeba]

Totally charming. Thank you.

[sospello]

Thank you for alerting me to this wonderful recording of Fleta. I am glad you remembered how much I like his voice!

[merrihew]

Wonderful. I'll have to post more of him.

[jurek46pink]

I'll be waiting with pleasure !

[cushing1163]

[ehnriko]

Thank you for posting this song... it's my Grandfathers' favorite song... and My Grandma too... eventually became one of my favorite also. Everytime I hear it - brings back the memories... keeps me close to them - my grandfolks... and also reminds me very much how they loved me. 5 stars!

[dearmalika]

Esta cancion es preciosa, me trae muchos recuerdos bellos y lejanos!

[camille885]

It is funny to hear this song in acoustics! Thank you for this discovery.

[khourrem]

Jaki piękny głos, i do tego z Falangi :D Dziękuję!

[dzheger]

Another beautiful version. Sounds like an aria from a zarzuela. What a handsome voice!

[genia106]

Yes, MAGNIFICO! I love this version too!

Fleta's version is ROMANTIC, DRAMATIC and HEART WRENCHING! Thank you Jerzy for another Beautiful "Amapola."
