JOSE CARRERAS SINGS "LA FLEUR QUE TU M'AVAIS JETEE"

[puccinislarondine]

For me he is the best Don José as well... he does make you feel sorry for an otherwise shmuck of a character. And his singing of this aria is the best I've ever heard- past or present. He caresses the words and notes. He is powerful when he should be and tender when it should be. I have always loved the quality of his voice- while he may have pused his voice into heavier roles too early, I will always cherish the wonderful singing that Maestro Carreras has given us.

Everyone has something to contribute to this world and Senor Carreras perhaps more than most. He doesn't just sing the notes, there is much more than this and if we can't feel this then 'tant pis pour nous' -don't blame the singer, blame yourselves. I, for one, won't wait until the maestro is not around to appreciate what one human being can give to another with the mastery of their voice. Mr Carreras, for me, you are the best.

On the high Bb-flat he pushes and a wobble is on the way of developing. He was 37-38 years old here, If he would have stayed in the lyrical fach up until at least 40 his voiced would have stayed beautyfull much longer then it did. A tenor shouldn´t be at his best between 25-30 years of age as it was for Carreras and Di Stefano, two of the most beautyfull tenorvoices ever recorded.

one word-- perfect

Josep is for me the greatest tenor in the world. His voice does not go to the ears, head directly to a soul!! I love it! Even today, his concerts, the interpretation is absolutely unique!

[siglino]

En esta grabación no canta falsetto al final y resulta muy bonita también

[jerrya1979]

Carreras is all heart. This aria fits him better than most. I listen to his recording of this aria at least once a week. Its so nice to see a video of him in his prime. check out my recording of this aria. Feel free to comment

Perfecto........

[jeiefitai]

Carreras, práticamente, dispensa comentários. Uma das mais bélas vózes de todos os tempos e um dos maiores interprétes operísticos do mundo. Falar mais, seria encher linguiça.

BEAUTIFUL. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.

Magnifique Don José! dès que J.CARRERAS chante je suis à l'écoute ! Merci pour ce bel extrait...

[TheMenelik60]

Il suo Don José è oramai nella storia della vocalità ... Il più completo ... l'essere spagnolo lo aiuterà !!!??? Non saprei ... ma la sua interpretazione è un dono ed un grande ricordo per chi ha avuto la fortuna disentirlo in teatro.

[jcbcn751]

Memorable interpretación, la entrega de Carreras y su musicalidad son abrumadoras, muy por encima de Domingo por su puesto... creo que Carreras siempre ha sido mejor cantante.

[tukilala]

Un querubin,celestial,unico !!!!

el mas guapo del mundo !!!!!!

[Tenortone21]

OMG I've never heard him sing french much less like this! WOW!!!

[jenni4claire]

Carrreras is the ideal Don Jose for me.

As well as singing the role flawlessly, he gave an otherwise unappealing character charm and grace, how ever he managed it.

[KissaMyEyes]

Definitive!

[finnhere2]

No one sings "La Fleur" like Carreras. This is not his best performance of this wonderful aria, yet beats most other singers 6-0...

[mezereum]

un grande entre los grandes.

[emiliano52]

A quien esta interpretacion no le convenza de que Carreras es un portento del canto que vaya a una clinica de un otorrino.........Dios mio, que voz mas calida, de tonos que llegan al alma. Este es el mejor ejempo de que el sonido puede tener color y temperatura. Es una experiencia increible.....................­.....

[fraternalsword]

definitivamente me encanta la voz de Don Jose.que maravilla !

[LvJols]

es una de las arias más hermosas que se hayan escrito..un genio Bizet.. y uno de los mejores cantantes de ópera el maestro Carreras.. ¡qué voz!.. que buen video.. gracias Fabián.

[joselolumenyi]

fabuloso pepe carreras...que pena que esa maravillosa voz natural no siga ahora pero es aún un músico maduro y un actor que encarna le dolor y la alegría com maestría....el rey del fraseo en el canto!!!!!!

[palymusic]

1984... la voce era in splendida forma e mostrava la sua sublime bellezza. La tecnica era ancora buona. Pochissimi sono i suoni forzati anche se si sente la voflia di aprire troppo e di declamare con quel "te" preso strisciando dal basso... una tecnica dell'affondo a rovescio.

Una delle voci più belle.

[maurizio888]

wow!!!!!!! es el arte!!! es pasion.... es canto! es Jose Carreras!!! Y vale los criticones!! q jamas se hablaran de ellos DE EL SI!!!

[Drkracing]

Maravillosa Interpretacion... Bravo Maestro!!!

[novice1959]

Beautiful, elegant singing!

[tuadolcefanciulla]

@novice1959 Josep's voice possesses a richness in tone that is his own, and very consistent. If I had to compare any other voice with a similar richness - and that is the gift they were born with - only Marilyn Horne comes to mind. I believe Josep picked the best roles for his voice. (For instance Francisco Araiza's performance of Mozart's "UN' AURA AMOROSA" is lustrous.Perfect, posted on youtube. It is the best I've ever heard and perfect for Araiza's voice.)

suits his voice perfectly.

Estupendo!
