Roberto Alagna "La donna è mobile" (Rigoletto)

[babs22hh]

he sounds a little woofy... not as light as other lyrics... is he a lyric?

[rossanacali]

Impeccabile!!! in questa intepretazione c' è TUTTO. il miglior duca di mantova. vorrei far notare quanto questa romanza sia realistica hihiihhihihi.... altro che cavalleria rusticana e verismo. eccolo qui il verismo. la donna è mobile ed è giusto prendere questa Realtà con tutta la Leggerezza e il divertimento di questo Capolavoro di romanza :))))

[bluecontrast]

I like his singing style:) But gotta love the conductorXD

[DarkMorea]

chi sono i 61 emo che non amano questo capolavoro?

[0Gioacchino]

Too much force at the beginning! This is the Duca di Mantova, not Turridu!!

[Glenys44]

Fabulous voice. If you like Roberto you must see him in Carmen (The Met 2010)on DVD.

[WINSTONS123]

qui è perfetto.

[MrsPisaroni]

Bravo Roberto

[LiliWizard]

[l03storky]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

[tomclaudetom]

[Bellybruxa]

The best La donna e mobile for me^^

[harrypotterfangurl07]

This just makes me fall in love with Roberto all over again <3

[angelijoly]

Bravissímo.....Belo de mais!!!!

[PEDROPAULOPAULA]

bravissimo belissimo el mundo encantador ,lindissima voz !!!!!! ,abracos del caminho

[philhealey1]

Eve the cellists are loving it!

[millerj3066]

I love his look at the end its like, "Take it bitches!"

[tammarogennaro]

Roberto, complimenti che esecuzione!!!!!!!

[mihaicatevi]

I never heard him, as I do not like lyrics, but he seems a very good singer, not as Pavarotti or Bocelli, but not even to be whistled as they did... I think he has to be followed more by a good teacher, as he has to learn a little more how to obtain the best from his wonderful voice, maybe is a problem of wrong breathing.. But he is also very goodlooking, I think he can make much more and become one of the best in the world, he is still young, he can!!!

[ininacsot]

@mihaicatevi il est trés difficile de conparer monsieur Pavarotti dont la voix etait une des plus belles voix depuis un demi siècle,même si cet extrait est superbement chanté par Roberto Alagna,et en plus avec Bocelli qui n'a rien à voir dans ce domaine(monsieur Bocelli avec un soprano à coté et on n'erntend plus sa voix)

[mm00046]

grande!!!

[vedovallegra1]

Percge la gente fa buuu a questo tenore.E incredibile

[liEder89]

@vedovallegra1 perchè aveva una voce di una rara bellezza che ha buttato via cantando di tutto!Ci vuole poco a perdere i doni che si hanno!

[vimafeca]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vivaelvira1]

colora 40 dear canelogno 1. I have not had a head from first day I saw him.

I am totaly headless.I love this man so much and his voice.

[TheAlbertM]

60 jaloux!!!

[canelongno1]

wow that man is gonna make my head explode one day

[SSUstufRudel]

Magnifique!

[MsTritop]

..better than Pavarotti, I think.

[ProfessorAR]

I respect him since he's largely self taught.

[Masteruny]

his voice reminds me of an angry german shepherd

[Nemogudasesetim]

@Masteruny ahahahaha great comment. Not sure I agree but very funny:))

[Maaksy]

I like his voice.

[Pawelp]

Alagna demonstrates how a very angry Duke would sound. Choppy and unattractive, even though the high B is very exciting, ringing and full.

[bobjunr]

an example of the power of voice!

[caquenanaud1]

j'adore. Il chante bien et en plus il a beaucoup de charme. Bravo à lui

[tenorehib]

sharp at High B.

[LordHettrick]

Oh, I hate his voice. No technique, awful way of using one note to jump onto another, trouble with landing right on the note. I can't understand how he is so praised, apart from his nice-looking beard, his ex (Gheorghiu) and his ability to pronounce "R" à la française.

[tombaker1222]

@LordHettrick To be fair, with 'no technique' he wouldn't have a cat in hells chance of reaching a top B. Not how the tenor voice works. I respect the fact you don't like his voice though - world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things!

[DaniellefromChile]

@tombaker1222 I am absolutely agree tombaker, why some people have to give an opinion so radical.?.we have the right to herd different and saw the wonders, than for other are ordinarities.

[paula5289]

Quelle voix, super !!

[ConteMarcobi]

Io credo che la musica, se ne possiede uno, abbia il volto del maestro ripreso dal minuto 1:16 al minuto 1:26. E` cosi` che si manifesta. Marco Besso

[MrWinestyle]

He is  the best !

[antiann52]

@MrWinestyle oh yes, he is one of the best. I had to tear myself away from Pavarotti, Placido and Carrera to hear anyone else.

[IpPolitT]

O__O mamma mia che vocione

[brendn1]

you can actually see how the camera vibrates at 1:49 because of his high note... amazing!

[idonperg]

he keeps his one ear closed..

[marcoKLG]

finale rovinato

[girson82]

alagna

ùù

[alexanderfigo]

ma mi hanno detto che anche DANIELE ALAGNA è bravo COME LUI .. è VERO ??  è un tenore col pizzetto ..

[kwgrid]

Amazing!!!!!!  Marvelous!

[piggyriddell]

Simply Breath taking!!!!!

[Unguah1932]

I liked everything but the ending...his fortissimo could use work. It makes it sound cacophonous.

[jagang31]

This is not "heavy" this is the way this song was meant to be sung, if you could read music , you would see he hit the accents perfectly!  This is a recording session, and believe me the conductor would have stopped it otherwise, instead of having so much fun!!!

[louvet66]

Bravo pour le bon goût de la caméra qui lui filme les plombages! Abruti!

[CypressHill2805]

Yeah!!! Roberto alagna very good in this aria but Nicolai Gedda My prefer ^^ check " Salut Demeure chaste et pure" between Gedda And Alagna, Gedda Best High C =)

[dfush]

heavy, but not bad

[ternitamas]

he's hottt!!

[AriaSinger1]

he has so much squillo! It's ridiculous, I can hardly hear the pitch under it at the end

[Catholicsmoker]

He is a bit too impetuous for my taste.

[EscapeToNowhere11]

It's perfect o__o

[mathitalia]

Its seems like Pavarotti !

[unikatnoime]

Superbe! Merci

[ForAll23]

Swe: Akademiskt uttryckt; jävligt bra sjungit.

Eng: In academic terms; damn good singing.

[TheBlueLorax]

Homie Killed It.. Perfect

[FFCKH]

honestly, I think he is the best, at least in this particular song. Even better than pavarotti

[RamezWezza]

no one's better than the legend LUCIANO PAVAROTTI..but Roberto is very good..

[AriaSinger1]

@RamezWezza In your opinion... In my opinion, Nicolai Gedda vastly surpassed him

[gharusa]

Bloody WONDERFUL WHAT A VOICE.

[capitaobisao]

Excelente cantor. Parabéns.

[GALISify]

Esta muy bién, pero vocifera un poco. Debe aprender de Alfredo Kraus.

[acitipo]

@GALISify jajajajajaja hahahahahahaha, Kraus es LIGERO y este es LIRICO sabes? o no sabes?, a este se le escucha encima de una orquesta de 125 musicos, lo escuche 38 veces. con Kraus no pasaban de 50 musicos, y el sonido era a medias sabes? ademas el tmbre de kaus NUNCA fue hermoso.

[tenorisimo1975]

Bravo.

[jagang31]

Quite possibly the "purest" version of this aria ever, recording studios have a habit of bringing out the best in people, and Alagna was at his finest here!!, and the conductor was having way to much fun lol!

[19cantor87]

Bravo

[PatriciaPaulAZ]

Bravo, Roberto!

[Markofff1]

перегружает свой лирический голос.чревато. нота Н хороша.спета в соответствии с истинной природой.

[shaadydog1]

Truly one of the most powerful performances of this piece, by far!!!!!

[magiemaful]

Does anybody know the conductor`s name?

[ozzcasale]

@magiemaful if i'm not wrong, that's Sir Richard Armstrong, he's a British Conductor, but there's no much more info of him in the internet. I hope i'd help you =)

[aalexmary]

Wonderful!

[Aushoelle]

1:47 amazing

[Drkracing]

The Best Donna e Mobile!!!!!!!

[Imforeverone88]

YESSSIRR! This has to be the best I have heard besides Luciano's version WOW, this man has a powerful instrument.

[sportive91]

Trop fort!!!! Et en plus sicilien, pour ne rien gacher

[fabfourfanatic4]

God, I just feel like he's YELLING AT ME in different pitches and tones.

[martindogo]

Hermoso timbre de voz el de Roberto...

[utanxyz]

my ears are bleeding ^^

[MrGermanser]

Bravissimo Roberto!

[Darkserker12]

Increible....!!!!

[iriscelta]

bravo..

[surviver1000]

maravilloso

wonderful

[rock962000]

nice

[MrSmization]

Perfectly!

[ttomas185]

BRAVO !!!

[miavonni]

FUCKIN BRAVO!

[logues85]

sharp on the last note.....such a typical tenor....

[osmantuysuz]

eli kulağındadır :)

[samueldgarcia36]

-_-"

[joelweisberg]

There seems to be plenty of evidence that Alagna has ruined hisvoice. Herehowever in 1994, he was brilliant.

[gallopintopuravida]

DIOS TE BENDIGA MARAVILLOSO

[odmcarp]

Bravo !

[inocente0]

wow

[krizmsf]

FANTÁSTICO

[Njamh]

WOW !!! no words...... incredible!

[maxpertile]

niente male ;)

[jubinmo]

Grandioz!!!!!!!!

[riclapin]

Bravo!

[gvocalist07]

I like this a lot!  Very nice technique

[mastercrap]

he looks like matt hardy

[Mr19841504]

superb

[JazzyGiord]

Ma nessuno s'è accorto che è crescente da morire sul finale? :D

[amdnovello]

sull'ultimo pensier?

non sembra sai? è solo che è potentissimo

[shaadydog1]

I have to say not being familiar with opera but having always loved this piece.......It has got to be the best performance of it on youtube. I have watched many and the only other one I would even consider listening to is the live performance of Mario Lanza... Yet Roberto Alagna's is in my ear the most impressive performance.

[GWCH1978]

Just impressive!!!!

I can't believe that a voice like this can get out of a human...

Bravo!

[MrPolitolog]

Great voice!

[monamaraluna]

Un diamante, un genio.

[stele1907]

Great tenor!

[thelouisfanclub]

very good!!! i like it!! very well!!

[jacouille1200]

prefecto maestro !

[GWCH1978]

Simply the best performance of "La Donna è mobile"...Incredible voice!

[Loraleen1]

Magistral, magnifique

[MrStartrek5]

good but it is not french even though he is it is ittalin

[cantanteporsiempre]

super!!

[hnksnw]

After hearing Caruso, I believe he is the best tenor that ever sang.

[mariodelmonaco]

Are you his mother? :-D the best tenor after Caruso??? but do you have listen other tenors? hahahahah

[martpast1]

@mariodelmonaco bravo, Mr, Censor( this is to you tube censor)

[nfinnnn]

@mariodelmonaco The best tenor of all time is considered to be Placido Domingo, Caruso comes after. By the way I prefer Roberto to many tenors

[undalux]

@nfinnnn no Caruso, no party...

[Pavarotti4eva]

the conductor looks a little star struck there. maybe he is just happy that it is all coming together.

[spanairbarajas2008]

to joelweisberg...Roberto Alagna is now in Seville Spain singing Cyrano. I am singing with him in the choirs and i must to say that he is absolutely amazing as actor and quite impressive as singer but is true that he is not singing at his best. He lost completely his voice in a rehearsal. Nevermind he is very good actor.

[elavellaneda]

de verdad conoces a Alagana? dices que si perdió su voz, pero totalmente?? un saludo y gracias

[leonore0210]

to spanairbarajas2008: and how did he sing in the performances? The reviews were all very enthusiastic.

[decal1992]

Truly the most impressive performance of this particular song. Not even Pavarotti's rendition was as stricking!

[joelweisberg]

I've heard that Alagna in recent years has lost his voice. I don't know, but I'll say that in this recording of a difficult aria, back in the 90's he was brilliant. This rendition seems as good as any I've ever heard.

[Pawelp]

It's too forward, shouty... the tone is so forceful... this Duke is very angry with women being wayward...but that final B is just so amazingly glorious....

[Gaspipenicklioni]

Nice B on the end of that!

[elavellaneda]

q voz tan maravillosa...

[lafemmerusse]

C'est magnifique !

[brendn1]

se puede ver al ultimo como tiembla la camara, con él ultimo tono que se avienta jajaja pasado d lurieta

[robles146]

damnnnn too awesome..!!!!

I never get enough of it.

:)

[Babs22h]

i have listened to like 5 times and my boyfriend is going crazy

[gemeinschaft]

What amazing voice.

Roberto Alagna is the best.

[pipineza]

@gemeinschaft

[acitipo]

Linda voz, bien colocada en la mascara, espero que siga cantando asi.

[operastar2689]

he sounded a lot better before he married gheorgiu and they started doing operas together.... wow

[velenorosso]

questa l'ha cantata bene

[CatalinaDM56]

Once again....he was so fricking amazing. And then he started dating Angela.

[CorotteConstable]

pavarotti was great

Alagna is great

all the above: amazing Tenors!

[titodakid5]

pavarotti is better

[Frienze7]

That's because Pavarotti is the best. ;D

[jimmythe2can]

yes he was....hands down-

[Metafalk]

he is a lot better then than nowadays...sadly

[1Ooppera]

Maybe the best Duca in modern times...

[ixoye07]

k tonto estas manrico deverass

[manrico60]

Una porqueria como todo lo que este tenor hace.

Se cree una gran vaina y es solo un enano de mierda que se caso con una ramera de 4 pesos.

[goku12380]

bravo

[liricraker]

está claro que si Alagna no hubiera abandonado este repertorio para cantar Aidas y demás hubiera alcanzado las más grandes cotas artísticas.......

[bokma7]

flawless!

[maggiethefox]

Simply incredible.........

[kostasmitros1]

Much more mobile, if we expect them to be so...

[freehee2]

tutti le donne sono mobile per me ..hehehe

[DarkZhana]

Magnífica interpretación

[kiar12comming]

BRAVISIMO

[Philbatrom]

bravo!!

[SuperFanchon]

bravo!!j adooore Roberto!!!!!!!!!!!

[L1nK89]

wow i came across this clip randomly and man the singer and the crew is gangsta

[andy84rggr654]

what is he doing with his hand?

[janxbmxrace]

so he can better hear actual sound of his voice, becouse with singing normaly and in right way you hear more self resonators and sound that coming back acusticaly from surroundings.

In life perfomance you must trust and hope that everything is ok, but in this case this is recording and everything must be maximaly close to perfect.

[krajncuk]

he was hearing voice

[peteraisher]

@andy84rggr654 listening to himself. try it!

[operadacapo]

in questo repertorio Alagna e un grande tenore, non deve cantare i grandi verdi e puccini.........

[gege26061974]

Félicitationà Roberto Alagna

[Griwhoolda]

sharp at the end.

[davilacm]

The best I have ever heard, but EL Maestro is still my favorite.

[distefano13069609]

lol retard 1:30!

[blaxknight]

rofl so true

[blackwhisk]

good but Pavarotti is still better

[PonselleLover]

Absolutely brilliant and striking !

[musicjust]

so rich, much richer than Juan diego....

[kolb94]

well yeah, Juan Diego is a bel canto singer, and shouldn't even be doing riggoletto in the first place haha.

[stevendurr]

not as good as Pavarotti

[bitememan]

he is great and cute too

[armoniamg59]

love his voice
