Thank you Lindoro for this post and for this beautiful picture that illustrates perfectly the music and for your very interesting comment! Thank you again!
Araiza really captures the tenderness of the aria. Incredible legato, beauty of tone and mezza voce up to the top B natural - everything in true Bel Canto style. I would say this is the quintessential version of the duet. I used to like Alfredo Kraus in this role, but he is too forceful on the top, lacking the proper warmth. Frank Lopardo is also one of the best Ernesto's I've heard on recording. Many people forget how brutally hard the tenor part is in this opera.
Awesome. Please, if you happen to come by any more clips with Francisco, please post them. They are wonderful. Thank you so much. I repeat again..Beautiful!!
What a beauty!
