[xcptenor]

and looks like the production at Staatsoper Wien, but the Count is using another costume, not the usual brown one...

[xcptenor]

BOTH SINGERS ARE GREAT!!!!

[pudercukurs]

When was this recorded/performed? Is this recording professional? If so, where can the eventual DVD of the production? I can't seem to find it anywhere... I really want to see the whole opera with Hampson... He's magnificent!

Thanks for sharing recorded material showing the best, most perfect coloratura tenor that Catalonia has ever produced, Dalmau Gonzàlez. Long live a voice and enthusiasm such a his!! Dalmau, ets el millor.

Excellent recovery. But I am wondering why Andy faltered since this is a relatively popular piece. Thanks for the post.

Sometimes the most familiar performances are the easiest ones to mess up. You know them so well that your brain goes on autopilot, and if you "wake up" halfway through you're likely to get lost.

I love seeing professional singers mess up. It kind of grounds me as a young singer. Even the big shots aren't perfect, but the performance was still amazing. I also love seeing people recover from their mistakes. I think that is what defines a performer.

What a pleasant surprise! I happen to be the very same Dalmacio Gonzalez. Would anyone be able to let me know where I could get hold of the original DVD of this performance? It would be much appreciated

Hi Dalmacio, I happen to be the very same Lauri-Volpi...(se recuerda por aquí con mucho aprecio aquel Don Ottavio tuyo, allá por el año 90). Molti baci, GLV.

[SilvanoDaPonte]

He started too soon and had to let one bar pass before restarting... and at this very moment forgot the text !
