The greatest tenor I have ever had the joy to hear. Held in the highest esteem by all his peers. Aragall did not take the route of the all the others with PR and sophisticated agents. He sang where and when he wanted to and kept his voice by not singing outside his repertoire. It is a pity more tenors didn't follow his example. If you search you will find many recordings but buy quickly as the prices are going up and up as more people discover the beauty of this lovely man's voice.

That evening I made my debut on the 1st Act of Tosca playing the bells in the Te Deum as the percussionist was stuck in traffic coming from Maracay. Listening to Aragall's singing and working with him was a thrilling experience. // Esa noche you hice mi debut tocando las campanas en el Te Deum ya que el percusionista estaba atascado en trafico viniendo de Maracay. Escuchar el canto de Aragall y trabajar con el fue una experiencia increible.
great voice, but don't care for his phrasing at all. cuts the money notes short almost every time, and thus leaves us "wanting" and not in a good way. Also, his entrance for the final phrase was late, and out of synch with the orchestra. I am sure there are better versions of him doing this...I did not care for it as a performance.
one of the best tenor of the history the same generation that domingo and pavarotti but pavarotti said that aragall was the best at the beginning voally great listen che gelida manina wit the high C# at the end great .
Maybe Aragall's "fragile morale" accounts for his touching interpretations. In any case, to my ear Aragall is at least a worthy if not preeminent tenor. Finding his CDs should not be such a treasure hunt. He's too good! Undoubtedly, there is a significant and well-recorded discography out there that has not been sufficiently marketed. That needs to change. With proper marketing, eager enthusiasts would flock to the stores waving their money, and I would be first in line.
The problem is that Aragall has a very fragile morale; is rumored that is not very strong psychologically. Maybe that's why he has worked much less than others of his generation, as Pavarotti, Domingo or Carreras i therefore there are very few recordings theirs.
But yours is possibly the most beautiful voice of all tenors in history.
@giorgioberrugi Magari non era stanchezza ma il fatto di essersi calato nel personaggio: in fin dei conti lo avevano torturato fino ad 1 ora prima e stava per essere ammazzato. Forse é da lui che Domingo ha preso il "trillo" che fa sempre nel cantare "fragrante"?
He didn't like Covent Garden and was asked to sing by so many prestigious opera houses that apart from the legendary Boheme with Kleiber and Un Ballo, he could make his own choice of where to sing.
Pocos Tenores han dado importancia a la parte recitada del aria. Aragal da el sentido de verdadera desesperanza, de una renuncia inevitable. Aunque no piana en donde algunos pocos lo han hecho:Corelli, PAvarotti entre otros. Aragal consigue hacer una unidad de palabras llenas de vida y de notas muy humanas. Bravo!
Soy portugués , Jaume es aquí ,en Lisboa ,y en Buenos Aires .
En España , parece que además de ver películas dobladas traducen los nombres de todo el mundo, y mezclan la política con los idiomas. El hombre es Catalán ,pero si fuera ingles ¿le llamaríamos también Jaimito ? y a William Shakespeare ¿Guillermito? , o Josep Carreras en Inglaterra lo llamarían ¿Joseph Races? ... Bueno ,pereza y provincianismo total.

Would have been the #1 Tenor. Stage nerves did him in. An incredibly beautiful voice. The three tenors all said, Aragall is the best.
