James Bowman - Sol Da Te Mio Dolce Amore

[carolineleiden]

The version of Spinosi has a fantastic flutist. And a great singer.

[Rik77]

Love Bowman in this. But the flautist is average. Shame really as its a beautiful flute moment.

[Phebus74]

Terrificante!Ho il video integrale ma non ho mai avuto il coraggio di guardarlo.Intonazione assai precaria come sempre e la coloratura...beh,meglio lasciar perdere mai ha saputo cosa fosse.

[lapanen007]

oh my... Bowman does it again :) He just is so meaningful

[aitekcan]

@lapanen007 I agree completely. Have been listening to Bowman's version comparatively with Sonia Prina, who is excellent as well. But, Bowman gets the meaning across so expressively

[baalhaophanim]

the flutist woman is bad, she doesn't fill what she is playing

[tamerlano236]

Very good. Great aria. The best version of Sol da te I've ever heard is Nicholas Spanos's.

[gianm73yout]

Very young! Thank you for posting.

[lambojo1994]

A fabulous bit of documentation of this really great singer. He still sings, albeit sporadically, and is a regular member of the Chapel Royal Choir of St. James palace in London. He must be 67 or so now! Great to know he is still around.

[serenaluce]

It's just wonderful! His voice is very beautiful! The right embelishment. I like his version much more than Jaroussky's and Gall's. But think that the best versions are Spanos's and Cencic's.

[Gentario]

Secondo me, è migliore l'esecuzione di Gall.

[Abdlonimo]

non è una impressione, è la realtà oggettiva dei fatti. La voce di Gall è intonata ben più di quella di Bowman, per tacere della flautista che esegue PENOSAMENTE l'accompagnamento obbligato, questo deve essere il secondo cast (ci sarà pure un ragione per cui Bowman non era nel primo, no?)

[liviabrescia]

Hai perfettamente ragione. strano che Bowmann canti a quel modo, che gli è successo?? Spezza i fiati, fraseggia come un bambino ed il flauto...dai,in questo pezzo dovrebbe far sognare, qui fa ridere. Boh!!

[yamiyugikun]

Translation I found:

Only from you, my sweet love,

this heart

will have peace, will have comfort.

Your beautiful sweet eyes

are the stars

with which Love guides me to the harbor.

[lalagonegaga]

Thank you very much for this! :)

[andreasscholl]

La Bowman is such a treat!!!!

His voice, beautiful.

Still, in these days, an older man, still splendid.

[palcika1]

You're right but don't call a man 'La' something.

[lalagonegaga]

Haha, yes, I wanted to comment on that too. :) The correct Italian would be "il" for a man, right? But I've never heard Il Pavarotti or something like that mentioned, so we don't want to invent new expressions here, don't we? :) Anyhow, Bowman is definitely one of the greats...

[andreasscholl]

Oh what ever...maybe the name La is more for Diva's.

Divo's is IL then, ha ha!

Never new.

[alexmacias]

I'm ok with "La Bowman", it sounds chic, hahaha.

[andreasscholl]

It does trust me!

La Vutton, La Mahnolla...La Liz, La Babs, La Cieca....and so much more.

La d'Hooghe... :)))
