Roberto Alagna "Tu ca nun chiagne"

[krajncrocky1]

this alagna was the best.not this now.very beutifull full lyric tenor!!!!!

[mrodicalp]

bravissimo! voce con grande tecnica, complimenti!

[kiwophil]

this is absolutely brilliant, many thanks

[trem0lo]

If only he sang like that now...

[nuovofrack]

ammazza nice suit ... in sevilla pimps and toreros dress alike.

[dziady1]

First - that awful off the rack suit steals the show and if he had to sing any

less than ff he would go into shock a typical example of resonance where the

brains ought to be .

[Miauriceful]

ammazza quant'era magro.

[lirica2011]

Grande, meravigliosa voce!

[TheCanadianTenor]

I think his technique did improve a lot after this but I would say that it has already started getting worst in the last 2 years. He is epic and wonderful for melodramma... verdi, turandot, carmen, but he works too hard for my taste for the characters of a similar fach that are simpler people ie rodolfo etc...

[federic017]

buona tecnica di canto...la canzone napoletana va interpretata ...non si canta pe cantà... saluti

[tammarogennaro]

GRANDE ROBERTO

[1GiuseppeVerdi]

This is a romantic song, it shouldn't be barked like that!

[TheUkidokan]

Splendide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[orlando098]

This sounds very good, but seems a bit relentlessly dramatic for this kind of song; it's not not he's singing Wagner.. I saw Pavarotti in another video saying he first saw Alagna singing neapolitan songs in a manner that seemed too heavily dramatic for his voice and he recommended he sing more lyrically, and he thought (at the time of the video) he had done so and had chosen very suitable roles. Arguably he has apparently moved away from that a bit again more recently.

[HeshamElGuingy]

he was very young but perfect

[ellicantropo]

que voz que tenia...

[ximenadore]

bellissimo bravo roberto!!!

[tenorisimo1975]

Bravo!!!!!!

[Santangelo47]

Formidable, Fenominal, Stupendo, fantastico, meraviglioso, maravilloso, etc. Robérto Alagña is definitely one of the best singers to come into being over the last 50 years, I absolutely adore his singing style, range, voice, talent, skill, etc, and I'm certain that he will be with us for a very long time.

Buonasera, Ciao...\☺...Angeli Santi

[97531go]

So young, yet such a strong voice already! check him out singing la Marsaillaise with Uniform performance!

[Trenasist]

That just took me away. I loved it!

[atenorforjesus]

plenty of resonance, I liked it

[brunico881]

Chi critica così fortemente Roberto Alagna, di voce lirica ne capisce ben poco.

Bravo, ottima interpretazione, voce calda, robusta, potente e modulata.

[aztequedeor]

@brunico881  Certo !

[Angelinelcielo]

Superbe...

[jorjikia]

bravo roberto!!!it's sung with a veri nice musical taste

[RosaB61]

beddu...

[liricraker]

admirablemente cantado desde luego, pero una voz lírica debe cuidar los acentos dramáticos y no abusar de ellos, porque puede conllevar el cansancio de la voz a la larga.....

[azzz09zzza]

I love young videos of Roberto Alagna-he is such a sweetiexx

[fandelouisalexander]

c'est magnifique

bravo

[19olivier72]

Una delle più belle interpretazione! Complimenti!

[musicofilonapoletano]

Se risentite le interpretazioni di Mario del Monaco e di Giuseppe di Stefano non potete negare che l'unico che ci fa " chiagnere", ma veramente piangere è Alagna.

[MARISOLDELMONACO]

Bravo Alagna!!!

Bellissima interpretazione.

[lecielmalice]

Increíble, qué valioso video.

[amneris54]

oui je me souviens

[jhgreenhorn]

He has a beautiful voice...though he is a bit of an asshole (you can't just walk off the stage at La Scala)...but still he can really sing!

[aguacun]

why not?

[renamunich1]

you call yourself a greenhorn. and you are right. no idea of opera singing! keep your mind !

[omarihardy]

How so renamunich1 ?

[associazioneliricadi]

prova ad ascoltare corelli e poi cerca di cantare come lui poi sarai grande ma x ora NO

[pellegrino1976]

mi piace molto Alagna , certo la mia voce è superiore ma mi piace molto, bravo !!!

[giuseppecalafiore]

dimostralo... parlare è facile...

[marcdotti]

lascialo dire agli altri con una tua performance, perchè non pubblichi un video??? Sono proprio curioso di sentire questa voce SUPERIORE!!!!

[PapagenoJuan]

He has quite a voice !!! O.o

[iltenoredramatico]

jesus christ that pianist needs to go re-learn EVERYTHING. WHAT THE HELL?!? KILLS EVERYTHING

[ximenadore]

BRAVISSIMO ROBERTO!!!!

[bobtemming]

roberto at his top

[hnksnw]

Never the less Caruso is the greatest to have sung this.

[AlexLegionOfFate]

By far

[Gerardeus]

Debo decir que Alagna cantaba mucho mejor de jóven en esta grabación que hoy en día.

En cuanto al pianista, estaba totalmente perdido.

[mosfet1402]

pianist really sucks ,

[supersonic767]

...the pianist was really really really BAD

[babajaga39]

i loved it!

[jgzh880309jgzh]

He's very beautiful !!!!!

[IZ0KON]

Bravo Roberto: ottima dizione e felice interpretazione di "Tu ca nun chiagne". Canta un po' più spesso canzoni classiche napoletane!

Ciao, Giovanni

[operataste]

His voice is rounded all the time. Like the great ones...

Bravo Alagna!

[wiik32]

No energy. Corelli was much better.

[cornificius22vain]

Obviously Corelli was better. But this rendition is excellent, and has plenty of energy.

[Pawelp]

It may be said this rendition lacks nuance...but lacks energy? He sings every note with superb focus.

[toscadepuccini]

Splendid!

[tenorspinto]

Sencillamente extraordinario. No había puesto atención a este tremendo artista.

[ximenadore]

es lo máximo, te recomiendo escuchar su repertorio francés:INCOMPARABLE!!!

[WANK83]

My God ! Franco Corelli did much better at 56 years old ! And was very much dressed !

[Gerardeus]

Obviamente, no hay punto de comparación entre el legendario Franco Corelli y Roberto Alagna, un tenor común y corriente como todos. Aunque debo admitir que me gustaba más como contaba en esos años donde fue grabado este video que de hoy en día.

[franktenor]

What a tenor. Beautiful.

[Operafiend22]

No doubt about it...he was truly great, a much more beautiful and natural voice than any of the current tenors.

[tenoregrande]

Bravo Roberto!!!!!

Roberto Alagna - THE GREATEST TENOR!!!!!

[azzz09zzza]

Bless him he looks so sweet in this video

[petervel33]

Roberto young, Roberto now. I am the biggest fan. Brilliant voice. Rolando who, what...

[ONapulitanoPazzo]

bravissimo tenoro!!Tu ca un chiagne e chiagnere me faje!!!Tu stanotte addu staje?? Bravo!

[aleksa1981]

Greatest Alagna!!!

[suggestum]

My favorite napolitan song, and the best tenor ever! BRAVO Alagna!!!

[suggestum]

Alagna is great singer!

[suggestum]

He is just a perfect tenor. Amazing voice and so emotional interpretation... Beautiful... Thank you Roberto!

[ginjerry639]

good job....but I love how Mario Merola sang this song.....he was not a tenor but he was from Naples....and who could sing a neapolitan song better than a neapolitan singer?

[chocs1]

no passion,no feeling, and he looks absolutely bored by the whole proceedings.

[drewski67]

ahhh yes, the good years of his singing

[badocan78]

here he has a unique timber.these took 10-12 years..REST;the inevitable fate of a Tenor who abused,abused and abused his voice..

[tenorinno1]

Great performance .... very nice voice....in good shape great

[cpia87]

no offense legacy but that looks very much like a comment of someone who emphatically knows nothing about either music or singing

[Legacy383]

Hi Folks,

No offense intended but this is a mess. It's difficult but NOT an aria and he's struggling with key, tone, pacing, lacking line and direction, etc. Try listening to Corelli sing the same aria (Tu, ca nun chiagne) also on Youtube I believe.

Regards,

Pete

[maniac4141]

look at 03:00 and see if he is struggling with the key or not.. ok i also liked corelli version more.. but lets give this man the prize of his work.. good job..

[Alagnapassion]

The best "Tu, ca nun chiagne" ever! and the piano...wonderful!

[MrCafiero]

He needs to get back to this singing. He should not have changed it. He is not pushing here either, he is working. For God's sake it is not like he is quilting or something. He is singing a very difficult song with his full voice. Of course he is going to need to physically work.  It is just ignorant and inane to say he is pushing. I hope he gets back to this kind of singing.

[verdiotello]

ese spartakino no sabes de lo que hablas poble pendejo!!! estas escuchando a uno de los mejores tenores de la actualidad.

[nenerojo69]

Este tipo no es el que fue abucheado en milan?

[picapin]

tranquis, tranquis... Es bueno pero definitivamente no uno de los mejores. El peruano Juan Diego Florez es mucho mejor y creo que hasta mas joven.

[Golifion]

si, juan diego florez es bastante más joven, pero tampoco podemos compararlos, son dos tipos de tenores muy diferentes, es como (y perdonen, porque ambos divos son inmensamente grandes y jamás podrán compararse con estos dos) alfredo kraus con franco corelli

[jnbelcantu]

IMO,his voice was more beautiful, richer at the time of this video. I hope he fired that tailor!

[picapin]

ha, ha, ha! Que ojete eres!

[Iampa1963]

I found it a very beatiful voice and moving performance

[Agorante]

He pushs of course because this is a real heavy song. It's the Otello of Neopolitan songs. Look at the other versions posted on YouTube - Corelli and Del Monaco. This was probably a little bit to heavy for him then. But it is still a wonderful, wonderful performance.

[Sangoben]

This is a wonderful performance !! Unbelievable ! So much emotion !

[tosca31]

Yes that's exceptionnal. He's an amazing artist.

[Pawelp]

Unfortunately he darkens his voice way too much since a few years, it was beautiful. The technique shows some possible problems regarding longevity, even though he pushes here, he had more bloom in the voice in this period. I love his dedication!

[MUEZZAB]

I think that you are raising 2 different points :

1 - The timbre of his voice : it was much lighter, more "solaire". I think that is what WillLiang expressed. I much prefer his timbre at that time than today, this coming first to technique in my taste.

2 - Technique : he's improved a lot during those last 14 years, while his timbre has begun to darken.

Some of us are first sensitive to timbre and then technique, other by the opposite...

[ErnestoPetti]

his voice is better because in this video he push too much infact in the acute he became red....now he have more technique

[jmahlon]

His voice has changed he doesnt push the heck out of it anymore like he did here..ouch. Singing much smarter now.

[operalizard]

I think it is a matter of taste: the voice obviously has changed in the last 14 years, but I also believe that his singing technique is perfect. Seeing him live at the Met in Faust in May 05, and in Pagliacci in Los Angeles in September 05 has been 2 of the most amazing performances I've ever seen. The freedom in his voice, his lyricism, perfect legato and perfect french diction are insuperable.

[WillLiang]

I think his voice(in the video) is better than Now
