Awful!

Thank you!!! Could you, please, upload also "Cimentando i venti e l'onde"???

Expertly done - but the high notes at the end sound as if he was having a prostate exam. JDF's voice is the deluxe article in this aria: where Kunde works hard, JDF just flows

What's that top note at 5:09? A C? DANG, this is amazing. Rossini was ahead of his time.

[CavalierPosilli]

it's a D

Thank you so much, really. Kunde was phenomenal, yet so underrated. Great post.

Wonderful!!!!! THank you maestro Lindoro!!! Ah I wish I had your collection!!!! Countless thanks for youtube instead!!! Which recording is this from? His bel canto recordings available are rather limited.

I'm glad you liked it :). It's from "Di tanti palpiti", a selection of insertion and concert arias by Rossini, sung by Mariella Devia, Michele Pertusi and, of course, Kunde, among others. I hope to also upload two more excepts from it in the near future :).
