It's a pity that Aragall didn't know how to sing in mezza voce and forces Caballé to sing louder and avoid some of her ravishing pianissimi, as she had already sung in the recording with Domingo, conducted by Giulini
Superb, they are both superb. She sings "ma lassu ci vedremo" in an exquisite pianissimo, refined to the nth degree, with the plangent sadness it requires. His phrasing elegance is admirable. Despite the Mistral, a sublime performance, comparable to her historic 1974 NORMA, again in Orange. I have just ordered this DON CARLO DVD from Amazon, can't wait for it to arrive!
Incredible singing especially as there was a strong Mistral bowing into the stage that night. Aragall sublime as ever and with the glorious voice of Caballe , it was a night I will never forget. The plangent tone of Jaume is so beautiful.
Une grande soirée où deux très grand étaient en état de grâce. Un de mes plus beaux souvenirs d'opéra. Avec mes voisins, en ce dernier duo, tard dans la soirée, avec le mistral qui nous faisait, lui aussi, frissonner, nous ne pouvions retenir nos larmes. Et c'est la même chose quand je revois cet extrait. La fin est céleste.
Jaume Aragall and Montserrat Caballé, two catalan voices for the world. For me one of the best in the international lyric from Giuseppe di Stefano and Renata Tebaldi
Two grande artistes in a great Roman theatre in the old principality of Orange. It must have been an unforgettable evening for the visitors that evening.
Once again an amazing video. How does Onegin do it?Was this open air by the way? Their hair is blowing alarmingly but it looks indoors. Finally just listen to Caballe's little almost-staccato grace notes at 7.00.-.7.05. Breathtaking!
lo de la caballé es escalofriante... aragall simplemente un grande, es elegancia finura y estilo, alguna dureza en la emisión ( en este fragmento )pero un gusto exquisito.
Estoy exhausto de tanta elegancia en la interpretación de Aragall, su timbre de belleza exquisita, de arrebatadora expresión, sin excesos, todo clase y estilo, estoy fascinado!
Oh to have these people around today! Monsterrat is in form and Aragall a true Carlo! I hate to think what La Scala is going to offer us on Dec 7 and worse yet what Muti wants to offer for Otello on the 6th... YUCH!
There is one aria on La Grande Notte a Verona also the Barcelona Games video, also the opening of the Seville Opera House. I will find others for you, anyone who recognises Aragall as the greatest tenor of the 20th century has good taste.
Thank you. Great music sung magnifently. Caballe was incredible in this role. In this performance, Aragall has it all together and provides us with gloriously voiced and interpreted singing.
A worthy reminder of just how great Aragall could be when not tortured by his nerves. He is superior to Carreras in nearly every regard, but he didn't enjoy the sponsorship of Caballe and the recording companies. Domingo pays great tribute to him in his autobiography - genuinely baffled that he was not named in the pantheon of the so-called 'Three Tenors'.
If you watch the DVD "Pavarotti the last tenor", Pavarotti said: "From my generation, there was 3 of us at the the top. Me, Domingo and Aragall. Aragall was the best of us." Enoguh said
I am sorry but i cant agree. aragall had a wonderful voice but the voice of carreras when he were young was supreme and pure quality, there were some operas which carreras sang as no one else on earth, they are carmen, la forza del destino, stifelio and many other but it is a matter os taste.
Onegin65 Thank you for post this wonderful scean from Don Carlo. I wonder why you didn't post the aria "Io la vidi" singing Aragall and the duo "Dio che nell'alma infondere" singing Aragall and Bruson from the same performance yet. I beg you to post them, pleeeaaaase.

Sublime... Merci! AV

Aragall is as fresh and ringing here as he was 20 yrs before in Lucrezia Borgia and Gerusalemme with Leyla Gencer! Fantastic voice and artist!

beautiful! Caballe is great here - just calm and looking deep into herself... The music is breathing while the two say each other good-bye forever

Aragall is a great tenor' for me better than Carrera and better than Domingo, but not better than Pavarotti.
Pavarotti remains the greatest.Aragall is a close second.
