Juan Diego Florez - Rigoletto - Possente Amor mi chiama

[Operalista]

variaciones disonantes con relación ala línea musical del aria. falta mayor amplitutd vocal pero inigualable el sobreagudo final

[iosonmedea]

Mickey Mouse trying to sing the Duke of Mantua lol!

[cansanso]

no sean pelotudos criticones, seguro que ustedes cantan en los mejores teatros del mundo todos los fines de semana. las variaciones que hace las hacia Carreras en sus comiensos y no solo tiene una prolijidad impecable sino que el final es maravilloso.

[MarcoCortex]

fascinante , al diablo con los pesimistas :D

[TrovadorManrique]

Para que no todo lo que se dice sea malo, yo confirmo que, desde el punto de vista musical, está perfecto, no se le escapan ni un poquitín las dinámicas, y eso que en este aria son endiabladas (escuchen a Pavarotti y vean el lío que se hacía...). Eso sí, no me gustan sus variaciones...

[konzertarien]

A madurar Flórez, rol prematuro.

Saludos

[TrovadorManrique]

¿Pero tú crees que será algún día un duca de verdad? Como no sea en recital y con micrófono, nada de nada...

[tena2]

estoy de acuerdo, su voz necesita ser mas dramatica y un anto mas oscura, es que por tener agudos no se debe cantar todo. hay atenerse al tipo de voz de cada uno pienso yo.

[Guercoeur]

OMG I just watched it again. If this is considered good singing, opera is indeed dying.

[giuseppecaruso2]

Forza CAMPIONE !

[albertogrilo]

Yes, he is like Alfredo Kraus here. Amazing high D... I will try to see his Duca in Madrid next season

[2ManyHighCs]

Did you hear Kraus sing the Duke in person?

[albertogrilo]

Infortunatly no:( I live in Portugal and never had the oportunity to hera the graet Kraus. He sung many times in Lisbon

[Guercoeur]

I have heard Kraus singing the Duke and this guy here sounds more like Alvin or one of the Chipmunks compared to Alfredo Kraus. Kraus had a big voice, Florez' voice is much too small for Verdi. For any Verdi.

[2ManyHighCs]

That was what I kinda was thinking, although not quite so "demonstratively". I have never had the pleasure to hear Kraus from an auditorium, but have been on stage with him many times and thought he had a much fuller sound and more colors at his disposal than Florez, whom I have heard in person from an auditorium. But I could have been wrong. I think JDF may just be trying to expand and develope the voice with the Duke. But when a singer is so amazing in one rep, why be just "ok" in another?

[AfroPoli]

That is very true. Maybe he got bored singing La fille du regiment non stop... Anyway, he is no Duca.

[tena2]

lucky you if you have been with kraus, i think you have been blessed by god if you shared stage or seen him closely.

I really envy you my friend, It is a dream that will never come true to me, i am only 26 years old and as we all know kraus died in 1999, I was a living in an abbey by the time he died and never had the chance even to sing him singing however he was the humblest and in his rep, the best.

Thanks

[joseturco]

Thanks for publishing the above, I agree with you and I heard Kraus several times, never, regretfully in Rigoletto, (Faust, Lucia 2,Werther 2, Romeo 3, Hoffmann, Puritani 1 (1974), Figlia, Marina 2. Best all around including elegance..Muso

[Operaphile]

Thank you thank you!!! I have been waiting soooo long to hear him sing this cabaletta!!! Wonderful!!! Very Kraus-like :)
