[adalaire]

this was brilliant because it took me by surprise and was the first time I heard his voice; the part suited him so much.

Kaufmann tiene la voz más oscura, opaca y engolada que el alma de coralrabida y joanabanyeres... FUCK KAUFMANN!!! SHIT!!!

[manrico60]

Who the fuck are you to judge anyone?

Back to your mediocre life.

[justicieroantik]

jajajajajaja, mediocre tú, que no has cantado en tu puta vida. EN TU PUTA VIDA.

eres un frustrado.

[manrico60]

Y tu que haz hecho en tu puta vida carlitos?cantar en un corito de maricones amateurs en huelva??que pobre ser miserable que eres!!

Kaufman es una mierda,mierda alemana imitador patetico de vickers.

[THESPINTO]

Como crees justicieroantik el si ha cantado como 2 veces en esa puta vida que mencionas, pero ambas con terribles resultados. La primera fue a la corta edad de 14 años y por los sonidos que emitia (de burra en celo) fue violado por un burro primaveral. La segunda fue a los 26 años con asombrosa habilidad para comerse en el aire las verduras que le eran arrojadas. No cabe duda el hambre es cabrona.

I saw Tosca at ROH/London on 30 May 2008 with him as Cavaradossi. He was really great! Not only did he sing first class, but he also played his role perfectly. His performance was worth my travelling from Brussels to London just for this evening.

Oh, I'd like to see more from that one. Do you have any clips from the actual opera? Please? :-)

[chislehurstbat]

Loved his performance on Monday at the ROH.

[cordu3]

Yes, he was amazing as Caveradossi, but I have seen him in many more roles, Lohengrin was spectacular, so was Don Carlo and Werther. He has the most unusual voice, in the way that his timbre is dark, but easily reaches the high C and more and he IS the part he plays. The most brilliant actor. I don't know why some people can possibely say his voice is not big. The contrary, he can easily fill a big opera house, even if he sings pianissimo when the part requires it.

@cordu3 Thanks for sharing your informed opinion! I've seen the Carmen DVD and the Werther telecast, and have been VERY impressed (and the Lohengrin excerpts on "Sehnsucht" overwhelmed me!) but this week's Tosca at the Met will be my first live experience... I'm very excited; thanks for your take on him in several very different roles.
