Hvorostovsky & Kaufmann - Rodrigo's Death scene 2/2

[marcela21884]

@frufruj, Thanks for posting the lyrics, it makes all the difference, because although I read Italian, sometimes spoken or sung by a non-Italian, it gets difficult to understand.

[marcela21884]

@vivaverdi1, I was lucky too to hear and see Dmitri in Bogotà. Fab

[Tilantelcontar]

Is Kaufmann laughing??? 2:53 ??? I'm not sure?? 2:57 Ok, he tries to avoid it...

[MrAndredekock]

A really moving death scene ..... although he has a LOT of breath for a dying man! Bravo!

[al10506025]

Tezier-Vargas is great too!

[vivaverdi1]

I was the luckiest person in the world to see Dimitri in this aria at the Met I love him,

[HEZSOZE]

Csodálatos hangok!!!!! Köszönöm szépen

[germonbast]

На La terra mi manca очень смеялся, такая смешная физиономия у Хворостовского была )))))

[GERMANYFrankie]

Hvorostovsky HAS A GOOD VOICE!

[marokt]

I've heard only one man, who could be able to sing this aria with such a long phrases with one breath. Of course Cappuccilli. Dmitri had an incredible voice, an excellent technic, and fine sense of drama. What a great artist!

[blichilde]

Ma perché scrivere commenti volgari e irridenti? E il rispetto per gli altri non conta proprio?

[Sieglinde84]

I think I have a new OTP.

[JuanDiegooooo]

C'est pas si souvent que le ténor (et quel ténor ici !) joue les seconds rôles !

[amfortas1978]

I saw kaufmann and keenlyside palying this in london several days ago.

also very very convincing.... well, I even think Rodrigo loves Carlos more than Elisabeth does :P

[eurydike]

@amfortas1978 of course Rodrigo loves him more:-)

[eurydike]

@amfortas1978

how was Keenlyside? tell more please:-)

[amfortas1978]

@eurydike

well, we all know that keenlyside got smaller voice than hvorostovsky.... His voice is not the richest bariton. but ofcourse his performace was very convincing. well, actually I think he showed very much 'love' to Kaufmann :)

[eurydike]

@amfortas1978

yes, but i think (and not only i:-) ) that he is a great actor :-))) and his voice expresses so much (i love his cd´s with songs:-)) f.e.schumann´s) and that he showed love to kaufmann, that is understandable, kaufmann is quite a lovely man:-)))

[amfortas1978]

@eurydike

yes, he acts very well.

I am just saying that his voice is not you will traditionally have for this role.

well, kaufmann is not a traditional voice carlo either.

for their love, actually people really can't help but think they should be together in this ROH production. when rodrigo dies, I almost think they are going to kiss.

[eurydike]

@amfortas1978 yes, he does:-)

pity they didnt kiss:-), i would like to see the don carlo with kaufmann.

[eurydike]

@amfortas1978 @amfortas1978 that is my theory that Posa really loves Don Carlo, in the Elisabeth´s way :-))) but maybe more:-) than she does.

anyway, you don´t learn from the opera that POsa loves anybody else than Carlo (except ,maybe:-)), il popolo di Fiandra:-)) ).

[russl77]

Нет а как ему Кауфманн ассистировал!!! Во эн-н-тно ДА!!!! такую вещь только на адренелине вытянешь... Respkt Dima, ein bisschen mehrere technisch singen....

а так классно

[bodiloto]

[jackylen57]

Fantastique ! Quel plasir de les voir et de le entendre ensemble !

Bravo et merci

[bodiloto]

@jackylen57 lei hà buon gusto ,ma penso che tutti e due sono sposati...hahahahahahahahaha

[urmorph]

Incredibly moving. What artists! What music! Thanks for these posts. (By the way, if you love this opera, I strongly recommend that you never, ever read any history books about the real Don Carlo.)

[operafilia24]

¡que par de muñecos y que voces! Un agasajo para la vista y el oido.

[jesterimb]

too many haters i swear...

[MARISOLDELMONACO]

bravi, tutti e due

[sevcik2]

Bravissimo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[mcpetropolis]

Fantastic ! A Miracle.

[yappity]

Thanks so much for this clip. I'd really like to see those two do that scene on stage!

Never realised before for how long Hvorostovsky can keep singing without taking a breath. And Kaufmann just having to just stand there all the time and still acting so convincingly, wow.
