Oh my, Dimitri's "Figlia" got me...... singing full voice, and having that smile come accross his face thinking of his daughter - priceless.

[antovapo]

I think its "Orfanella il tetto umile... Figlia a tal nome io palpito". It doesnt really start on the " Favella il doge..." duet, only the end to say "non son una grimaldi".

[MrSolarisboy]

It is a so wonderful perform! Amazing!!!!

[po1212Po]

This year in the Met Dmitri sounds even better, if it's possible

[eurydike]

@po1212Po exactly:))) he is still improving.

[po1212Po]

@eurydike

for this reason i prefer duet with Fruttoli

[eurydike]

@po1212Po i am not sure if this duett with Frittoli is here... is it? you seem to be a big D´s fan:))

If anyone ever needs a definition of the word "Art" this is it. That was sheer beauty. 

[plectrumleaves]

she has an exceptional voice but her singing is so mannered..... loud gasps and over-emphatic accents....

[eurydike]

beautiFUL:)

[eurydike]

i like this duet very much, great video.

[LohengrinT]

this is one of the best performances by those two ever and one of the best performed duets I have ever heard

[Detectivefiction]

I saw this on television recently and was captivated! A great, great performance of this great duet.

[eurydike]

i like this more than Frittoli´s Amelia, i think.

[georgerannie]

They are soooooooooooooooooo wonderful AND I am nor a Renee fan. She sounds fab.

[raythespian]

From Onegin to Trovatore to Boccanegra, anything they sing together is the best out there!!!

[cantorandopera]

WOWISSSIMO! Thanks for posting - how would we here in the USA or other countries hear and see this if not for our dear friend, Onegin65. Thank you from everyone!

[edgrow]

I'm sorry, but this is just gorgeous. I'm usually not a fan, but Renee sounds fabulous, her voice is just like two sticks of butter! Of course Dimitri is in top form, their voices work so well together. Takes me back to the chemistry they had in the Met Onegin.

PS: Why does Renee look 30 years old? It doesn't even look like she has had work done. I don't know what she's doing besides botox, but it is working!

[moonsafari200]

@edgrow We still watch that performance every Christmas. Man, how could Onegin let a gal like Renée Fleming get away! Many thanks for the wonderful memories you stirred up. Such a spectacular performance.

[eurydike]

@edgrow but her face looks quite natural, could she really use botox with such results? maybe she is lucky and ages slowlier than most people:-)))she has mimicry. she can move her face. but i am no expert, if it is botox, than it is something to think about for my forehead:-)) very soon.

Dmitri sounds great. Have you heard him in the yesterday´s Boccanegra from the MET :-)?

[kufuchez]

Look at her jewelry!!! Brava Diva! And of course she sounds beautiful, too.

[teslaphysics]

She's very beautiful in this vid, I love how she portrays the emotions. Such a beautiful voice!

[dorjenne]

Clarity is not necessarily to everyone's taste. I prefer rich creamy voices with color. These two singers are my favorites.

[jmahlon]

good performance. I love this duet, its so freaking gorgeous. Verdi certainly loved exploring the relationship between children and their parents. Some of his most beautiful duets are between child and parent.

[jmcosins]

selon/following wikipékia, Hvorostosky is born in/est né en 1962

[nikiboro]

Magnificent !!!!!

Thank you so much !

[magicmonkichi]

Wow....Wow...and she looks AMAZING. Thanks for posting. ^_^

[mimsings]

Thanks so much for posting this! Lovely!

[keepthemusicplaying0]

Thanks for this great video, 5**

[tychaton08]

Merci!

[sergiotmujica]

how old is Hvorostovsky? he doesn't look or sound healthy in this video...

[BeauTenor]

As long as Fleming keeps the sound forward, she can sound ravishing. But, the swallowed pianissimi and huge glottals she uses just DESTROY the line, and thereby, ruin what could otherwise be a great performance.

[Pitibuli]

without complaining an absolutely wonderful performance!

Although they haven't had clear voices I loved their performance!

Really great!

[brolobear]

Oh man, oh man. That almost made me weep. Not only did they both sing gloriously, but their acting, even in concert, was so natural and real. Fleming really should do more Verdi like this or Desdemona...amazing singing.

[LohengrinT]

this is one of the most beautiful verdian Duets Fleming sings the Melody to its very heart Beauuuuuutiful

[manidonno10]

Those following my commenting history will be surprised to hear me say so, but she sounds absolutely LOVELY here!!! I mean - WOW.

However, Hvorostovsky's tongue position is out of control - he sounds much older than he really is.

[JericClage]

@manidonno10 That's for effect obviously O_o
