C.Bartoli & B. Terfel -Duet Il Barbiere- Gala Tucker 98

[MikiTTCC]

Adorabile!

[markfrizzoful]

è fantastico!! :O

[Rhopoe]

Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about but: I'm so used to Bartoli (who's just fabulous, as the kids these days say, she's "got mad skills") doing baroque, art songs, & Rosina sung by a soprano. Meanwhile, Terfel, I feel, is more suited to Wagner. Never, never Rossini! How he pulled off Mozart is baffling. Forgive me, but he left me cringing on this one...

[GSnaker]

Such acting in classical music, for me, lacks taste. I would like it done in a more discrete way. Don't be hatin' it's just my opinion. Besides, that Bryn guy has more nerve than skills, to go on stage and sing like he did.

[immature0916]

lololol cecilia's face @1:08 is funny she looks like she is saying good luck!! to bryn cause she's knows his coloratura is not good ahahhahahah!!

[regulargonzalez]

Haha even the orchestra is chuckling at Bryn's "coloratura" at 1:17 :D Still love ya Bryn!

[thomastmwc]

La Bartoli's coloratura is just impeccable and unbeatable

[zegermans750]

god damn I wonder how many weeks it took Rossini just to write the notes for the mezzo part

[lunedejour]

i love their face expressions !!

[Lindow]

When he started to sing the coloratura I thought I was going to fall over. I cannot believe noone tried to stop him from singing this piece by telling him that the fioriture are beyond his limitations. Ghastly!

[regulargonzalez]

@Lindow Well it's a less rigid setting than an opera proper. I love recitals like this where you can see singers take on pieces they would never sing in real life. They're having fun, I'm having fun, don't see how that is bad.

[peterkar]

@Lindow Don't be silly.... He knows it's beyond him. He's doing it as part of the fun of the evening and to show off a great talent who he enjoys performing with...

[Sorrentodellesirene]

Terfel lo sento un po in difficoltà! Grida non poco nelle prime battute e si impapina sulle fioriture (però questo puo capitare a tutti!!!).Comunque ottimo baritono( inutile guardare questa performance sid eve guardare tt. La tecnica della bartoli va bene su di lei e a noi piace cosi: con le ingolature, con il belato caprino dei trilli etc...Oltre al canto in un cantante lirico bisogan vedere la presenza scenica, la capità di recitare e questo porta la Bartoli a un 8 pieno!!

@Sorrentodellesirene

di sicuro non regge il paragone con Dmitri Hvorostovsky

[ryevic]

I agree they work well together. Jaydee Australia

[zurriussII]

Very very beautiful and colorful interpretation. Bravoo!!

[Yayahouette]

Bryn plays Figaro

[seektheforce]

What character is Bryn playing in this duo?

[hipocampelofantocame]

This is one of my favorite videos. It has something of everything.

[sportjungegmx]

Phantastisch ! Diese Leichtigkeit und Spielfreude !

[operatears]

they are so perfect together...everything they perform together makes me smile...and her agility is fabulous as always...

[mrunderestimated1]

I have a very strong infatuation of C.Bartoli, must be the coloratura, and i have the utmost respect for B. Terfel, Bravo!

[meluzyna55]

och, Cecilia!

[QuiRan82]

Great :) BRAVI!!

[Sciffy21]

Wow! amazing song... Cecilia was amazing! What was this song about, any way? something to do with a cheque?

[hipocampelofantocame]

Try a ticket.

[papagenort]

che bestia!

[vincik80]

elegante civetteria, coloratura elettrizzante e grandissima musicalità fanno della bartoli una rosina strepitosa....

[buelligan123]

I love Cecilia and Bryn together, they are just magic.

[motete001]

Why Is So Hard For The Bass-baritone Make Coloraturas Of Rossini And Vivaldi?

[JuillHope17]

it depends on the weight of voice, and the weight of voice was different when this repertoire was written, and you have to respect the rosina's tempo.

[zegermans750]

@motete001 Just a guess but it's probably physically easier to change pitches faster with smaller (i.e, higher pitched) vocal cords

[Rhopoe]

@motete001 Samuel Ramey does impeccably in "L'Italiana In Aligeri"... (the one with M Horne & K Battle)

[g4thz]

Gosh Bryn goes crazy and then Cecilia follows!!!!!

Like, most of the time it's good, but then they're like, "Okay, it's the Tucker Gala, we're all singers, we all know we're good. Who the hell cares about technique???"

[bassbariton]

Прикольно забыл слова :)

[mouthmouse]

two mistakes it's so funny to see singers making mistakes

[RagingSuccubus]

Jesus, wtf is up with his sloppy coloratura?!? I would have expected better.

[turambarlaferla]

its fixed in the later version

[altodivo]

his or hers? I love the wierd moment at 04:00 where the orchestra and her have NO idea whats happening.

[chicha1964]

Cecilia is great as usual but this guys is a MESS!! Is that singing??

[satajunior]

eheh Terfel sbaglia una battuta...

[Orbazzano]

La Bartoli con tutte quelle smorfie e quei contorcimenti sembra una vecchia arterio sclerotica in preda ad una crisi epilettica...Terfel è un bercio e non aggiungo altro...ma dove sono finiti i Bruscantini, Prey, le Berganza, Cossotto, Valentini??? ...

[satajunior]

Signore perdonali perchè non sanno quel che dicono...

[Cenayon]

LOLOL

[luigipava]

sn morti di vecchiaia siete fissati kosti cosi della preistoria

[Orbazzano]

Che preistoria e prestoria!! Qui si tratta di tecnica e belcanto! ...poi, per carità, i gusti sono gusti...

[Orbazzano]

Beh Rosina è nato come ruolo da mezzosoprano (anzi contralto!) di coloratura, poi è stato interpretato da molti soprani, ma l'origine è mezzosopranile. Per quanto riguarda la tecnica vocale, secondo me è una e una sola anche se oggi si sentono tecniche sempre più approssimative e trasandate.

[luigipava]

si ma io voglio dire che col tempo la tecnica dovrebbe migliorarsi

[Orbazzano]

Questo sarebbe senz'altro auspicabile, ma ultimamente più che ad un'evoluzione della tecnica stiamo assistendo ad una vera e propria involuzione. :-(

[hallohooo]

cecilia great as always.

but I don't like how he sings!!

[steainsy]

bartoli is an absolute genius, she is magnificent here. Terfel is a mess next to her.

[isimice]

I absolutely agree, she's brilliant - and what's up with Terfel, he usually sings much better. But Cecilia is una goia ancora...!

[hightenor123]

Bryn is a Bass-Baritone, Figaro is for a Lyric Baritone. The fact that he is singing it at all is strange. No one would argue that Bryn should sing Rossini Figaro.

[altodivo]

Well...he's not ideal, and only the phrase with the fioritura kills him, the rest is really quite elegant. He phrases beautifully.

[lamsalgado]

Cecilia...as always, a genius! What a incredible woman! Poor great (and big Bryn)! This was not for him however.
