Am from Nairobi Kenya and i have listened to Pavarotti and carreras domingo,and now Lawrence brownlee man you have a flexible,refined warm tone and keep it up ,you are a role model to me and ill keep listening to your music via youtube .
Meine lange und sehr mühsellige Suche hat nun ein Ende. Ich habe nun eine Pavarotti würdige Stimme gefunden. Offen, dynamisch, warm, großzügig, ausgereift und voller Freude. Bravo Maestro, vielen dank.
I am amazed at how warm rich and vibrant the voice is, he has a heft and power to the voice that leads me to believe he could do more lyrical roles as well as the bel canto singing he does here. Florez is a very good light Tenor but Brownlee's voice is more flexible and versatile. Rodolfo, Romeo, Nemorino, Edgardo, Nadir all possibilities for him. At last a star Black Tenor at the Met not since George Shirley has any Black Tenor sang major roles there consistently.
@intelegentable "At last a star Black Tenor at the Met not since George Shirley has any Black Tenor sang major roles there consistently". Thanks for mentioning the above and it is so true. And, think of the many before George Shirley; and, the many between him and Lawrence Brownlee who could have performed magnificently. It's as if one or two will be allowed every 40 years more or less. Thanks for giving us all a "reality check".
in such a lyrical voice i haven't heard this warmth before. he clearly follows Pavorottis resonance strategy but with such a light voice comes huge flexibility.
as mentioned before voices with this range are usually thin. Mr Brownlee's, not so!
Great coloratura, but i cant help hearing this singer in my head singing a very beautiful lyric Rodolfo in Boheme , without damaging his voice.Put it this way, if he can already sing Nemorino without the cuts, then Rodolfo is a doddle fror him.
Juan Diego Florez tiene quizá más técnica vocal, tiene gesticulaciones donde las tiene que te tener, este hombre en los agudos no para de mover la boca. A su vez, los 2 son excepcionales para el bel canto, e incluso el mismo Brownlee, a mi parecer, tiene más potencia de voz que Juan Diego.
@huido92 yo diría que en cuanto de la voz, Brownlee tiene una técnica mejor. El sonido es más robusto, más rico, y generalmente más abierto y poderoso. No es decir que Florez canta mal--claro que no--sino que Brownlee, para mi, es el más hábil. Los dos son mu diferentes y tienen mucho para respetar, pero si tuviera que elegir un favorita, sé quien sería!
Fuck yeah, I never thought I liked Opera until I heard this bloke on the radio. Such pure expression and willingness to be open and be himself. It's a shame opera is associated with pompousness and seems to attract people (even singers) who, by the sound of their voices, are in it for the pompousness.
Earlier he reminded me of Florez; certainly he has his range. But his sound is more open, less nasal, and I can listen to hiim longer without needing a break. Sure, Florez is more the heartthrob and won't suffer in popularity. But for sound give me Brownlee!
@bbbartolo Great individuals and voices!!! However, we must always remember "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
Both have carved out their own spaces and will be remembered as great in their own right. Would love to see and hear them both do something together. Wouldn't that be great!!!! Thanks for posting "coloraturafan".
@Gary2837 I thought Curtis Rayam who sang for 3 decades brilliant in this repertoire and he was able to sing a wide variety of styles, Bach, Handel,Thomas, Massenet, Mozart,Verdi to Scott Joplin's Treemonisha. Rayam had the beauty, flexibility, technique and a good deal of power in his voice to be one of the Superstar Tenors. He did rise to international prominence substituting for Pavorotti as Idomeneo and singing brilliantly but the Met never used him except as a guest.He now teaches.
These clips are an excellent showcase of Brownlee's marvelous abilities, and they clearly demonstrate why he is one of my favorite tenors. :) Thanks, coloraturafan!
This guy will be This lad will be listened to for centuries in the future... in my humble opinion 8:16 is particularly effective. I wonder what will be on offer to the audience in 10 years time. There is more to this guy than Rossini…
