Jonas Kaufmann - Il Lamento di Federico

[elotello]

i agree with some of the comments but i thinkk he sounds more of a baritone then a tenor.

[fernandobicudo]

Great interpretation!!! Beautiful dark tenor tones add a special colour to this wonderful aria...

[matteomartizensky]

some of his vowels remind me of John Vickers.

[peladopilas]

His voice is amazing, the interpretation is a bit to slow, but the power of his voice overcomes that

[donaldrose]

People become fixated on fach whether tenor, baritone, soprano, contralto or whatever. A truly great voice transcends this nonsense.

Here is a magnificent instrument, finely trained and operating well within its range. Kaufmann injects both intelligence and good taste into his singing at a level perhaps not heard before.

I believe that this man may become not just the great tenor of the modern age but perhaps one of the greatest ever.

BRAVISSIMO!!!!!!!

[russiancatsima]

Exactly! He is good because he is good! Because he is talented, intelligent, has great skill and deep emotions. Because his art is beautifil and moving, and that is what is important, not the classification of his tembre and range. He looks great, too.

[macielnegrete]

WOW!!!! Simply AMAZING!!! Es sencillamente MARAVILLOSO este tenor, es un portento! Lo mejor que he escuchado en los tenores de la actualidad. Fuerza dramática, expresión, técnica, color de voz... presencia física, lo tiene todo!!! Llegará muy lejos, sí señor!!!

[vaidasvysniauskas]

Incredible voice and perfect technika!

[GylchrisSprauve]

This is the stuff.  Coralrabida, you just blessed me. We hear too many over-acted, over-screamed, over-emotional versions of this aria that just don't get to the bottom of things. Jonas keeps the line spinning, you hear him enunciate the text in a meaningful way, building to a resounding climax, and a thrilling release. This performance, in my opinion, ranks among the definitive versions of this aria. Jonas did it: he planted his feet, and handled business. Thanks for posting!

[kimancuo]

He darkens his voice too much. Sounds like a baritone too often. He should decide for one voice, tenor or baritone.

[Mrrsz1]

he is a HELDEN tenor .. his voice is dark! .. you can not decide beetween beeing a tenor or a baritone!

[daniminguezsanz]

Carreras lo hacia muy bien, pero Kaufmann es impresionante...

[Giorwell]

una gratisima sorpresa, encontrar a una voz como esta!!! felicidades

[tenorspinto]

Una cuestión sencillamente técnica...Sencillamente increible...sucesor de Giacomini. Tremendo!!!

[Lohengrin]

Σιγα μην ειναι ο διαδοχος του Giacomini... τον ξέρει τον Giacomini η μάνα του?

[WiseMonke]

Peace is only [2] taken away from me!

Why must I suffer so?

Her, always her, speaking to my heart! [3]

Fatal vision, leave me!

You give me so much pain! Alas!

Go on... put it in the 'more info section'. :)

God Bless.

[WiseMonke]

Translation: It's the familiar story of the shepherd... The poor boy wanted to tell it, but he fell asleep. In sleep there is forgetfulness. How I envy him! I would also like to sleep like this, to find oblivion at least in slumber! I am searching only for peace, I would like to be able to forget everything! Yet [1] every effort is in vain; before me I always have her lovely face.

[JorPove]

Que portento de voz,una como pocas se escuchaban desde hace mucho tiempo. No solo llena, produce emociones gratas :señal de que que canta muy bien.

[leporellodemazamet]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!

Ce type est un génie!

[arsenijak]

he is 40, realy???

[marlylovesjewels]

What a confident and masculine and musical singer. I don't know the year this was made, but he was born in 1969, so he's only 40. I expect to hear great singing from him for decades. Superb.

[leonorafl]

The recording is from 2006.

[MARISOLDELMONACO]

Este tenor es una maravilla. Lo estoy conociendo y que forma de interpretar. esta aria es de mis favoritas se me herizo la piel al escucharlo que hermosa voz.

[acitipo]

Ojala que cuide su voz, el fiato, y el repertorio para que no termine acabado ocmo otros tenores

[ducadibudapest]

E' una voce meravigliosa, pura, unica! E' un piacere ascoltarlo così appassionato in quest'aria dove purtroppo si sentono spesso dei tenorini noiosi! Jonas ha una grande scuola e puo fare ciò che vuole con la sua splendida voce!

[canio44]

lo que canta este hombre fantastico!!!

[raigekimaru]

I'm a baritone but I can sing along with this. is that weird?

[joanabanyeres]

El mejor del mundo con una escuela excelente , hace lo que quiere con su voz. como cubre el passage... Esta aria es muy dramática, y el la hace así. Esos tenorcitos son fastidiosos, el tenor esta loco de amor.. pero loco, loco..y Jonas va al l'agudo.

[mezereum]

me recuerda en algunos pasajes al maestro Jon Vickers

[joanabanyeres]

Si es verdad, pero John no tenia los agudos de Jonas. Wickers ha sido un gran tenor dramatico.

[Lohengrin]

truly a first class performance of this aria...

[jackylen57]

Il a une voix sublime. Je ne me lasse pas de l'entendre!

Merci

Jackylen57

[joanabanyeres]

moi non plus, c'est artiste avec un gran A.

[javiergraciasanchis]

impresionante!!!bravo!!

[Glenmed]

I am really enjoying whatever I have heard of Jonas Kaufmann. There is drama and heft in the voice and there is great beauty of tone throughout the range. The range copes nicely at the top and has a wonderful baritonal quality lower down. Tremendous!

[billyguns2]

This man is the finest tenor before the public today. If he truly is a "heldentenor," then why in heaven's name did he make his Metropolitan Opera debut as Alfredo in Verdi's LA TRAVIATA? No heldentenor has ever sung that role.

[coralrabida]

Jonas Kaufmann lleva desde los 28 años cantando roles difíciles wagnerianos, de tenor heroico, en Alemania, pero como tiene una voz tan privilegiada se permite cantar otros roles.

[joanabanyeres]

Because Jona is very smart. He prefers wait He is really a very impressionant artist and so complete...

[andigrim007]

Beautiful voice !

A real descovery;

[sabhti]
