[MattBrownstone]

[smittyhun]

[hajnika46]

Andrea Rost a famous, HUNGARIAN opera singers. She and Carreras Are singing Beautifuly !

[nijnohin]

So great ! Beyond description !

[ijediknightj]

does anyone know where i can get the sheet music for this version of Tonight? It would be much appreciated. thanks!

[larkin2404]

this is the original version just sung by opera singers, if you buy the original score and get opera singers to sing it will sound like this.....

Although I dont like it I cant tell what they are saying the words near to be clear and crisp in this song because it is all about love and emotion and I could not get any of that from slurred words, sorry :(

[BroadwayVBtime]

I've never known Jose to struggle with Gs before...not on the top of his game. Regardless, still a great performance.

[sloobaa]

what year is that?

[thymocyta]

The last note was just beautifully sang in piano. Bravo!

[coryisawake]

Good, bad or mediocre; your numeric ratings are meaningless to everyone besides you.

[redriderGOW]

it seems to fast and it seems to be done in a classical opera style which doesnt sound right either. they have good voices, but it doesnt suit the song or the feeling.

2/5

[vincitor]

not to make u sound unknowledgable but Carreras actually recorded it this way with Te kanawa Under that baton of the composer himself.....i believe its the way he (Bernstein) had intended it to be ;)

[redriderGOW]

ehm its good to know that you know what its all about, but not to make you sound like an idiot but it was my own opinion. And nothing factional like carrera's recording has any input to my opinion. :)

[vincitor]

agreed :) i'm an idiot :)

[aarandir]

No fair point by both of you. It seems slightly misplaced the particular style of singing, but nonetheless if its what Bernstein intended then once can't argue. Perhaps its too much pop music thats hindering my musical tastes.

[blendiblup]

ohh.shut up!have you seen the video of that recording?Bernstein is far from liking the way carreas sings his music!check what you say first.

[tukilala]

Bernstein  Amaba a Carreras por eso lo eligio !!!!!

[OperaBohemian]

If they are not the right voices, then why did Leonard Bernstein (the composer, just in case you didn't know) hand pick Jose Carreras to sing Tony when he conducted a cover recording of West Side Story in the 80's?

[redriderGOW]

wow i'll have to explain my opinion again?

again fair enough that you know about this sorta stuff. however i am only expressing my opinion and that is what the comment feature on youtube is for, so people can input their own opinion. stop being a geek

[aarandir]

Again, as I said. Its the minimal vibrato in pop music (or at times complete lack of) that now makes unfortunately find this misplaced. It's completely my subjective opinion not my what I think it SHOULD be. Senor Carreras is however a great singer; you should hear his rendition of the Misa Criolla by Ramírez.

[ariastoteles]

Tonight the Whole World is mine, and yours!

[thisisthelife23]

my speakers are gonna break cuz its too high

[greenbluecoat77]

They seem rushed and her diction is off...too classical or something

[hognabbt]

Well, I'm not a friend of heavy vibrato and definately not when singing in duets or with several voices. Carreras is one of the greatest tenors in the world, but this doesn't work out too good together with Andrea. Sorry, 3/5 stars.

[Coronlaine]

This is really the best of the best.

[ariastoteles]

Gran pieza, grandes intérpretes, grandes momentos!

Greetings!

[abajurkulluk]

Carreras is already sang this in the original cast and its already Carreras but the Soprano has terribly awful pronunciation!!! Being singer doesnt mean that you can assasinate the lyrics pronunciation. I am Tenor singer as well and I never write comments on youtube but I couldnt help itwhen I heard this one.

[tappity]

I loved the orchestra but - sorry to say this - hated the singing. It's like these guys've never heard about WSS or even worse - this song.

[ronflyzhigh]

i dont like her tone

[barrister79]

excellent....OF COURSE!

[planthi80]

so glad to him~! thank you for this posting~!
