Roberto Alagna "Nessun Dorma"

[Tiberius302]

Roberto Alagna sollte sich das und auch seinem Publikum nicht antun. Sorry, aber der Kalaf ist nun 'mal nicht seine Partie! Ja, mit der Höhe kommt er hin, aber das Ganze ist dennoch nicht stimmig.

[tenorschofield]

Bravo Alagna!!!, what a wonderful voice and what a wonderful talent he has!!! ...even if done at the open (I guess) he maneged to did a wonderful redemption of this very difficult aria. Bravo!!!

[desabuser]

tenor lyrique tres detruit...pourquoi se succide...?

[photo161]

sad...

[so451]

Vraiment pas sérieux !!!

[tenorvoice50]

A voice to be proud of

[toninidru]

il doit apprendre a chanter avant de s'attaquer a ce morceau

[jackbhungry]

@toninidru he may not be the best but clearly he doesn't need to learn how to sing

[zdevol7]

Nepochopitelné, že tohoto PANA zpěváka prý vypískali v Milánské Scale. Nevím zdali byl indisponován, ale jinak si to vůbec nedovedu vysvětlit. Takový úžasný hlas a ta interprtace, plná citu- až mi jde mráz po zádech. Nechci jej k nikomu přirovnávat, ale přiřadit se k velkým tenorům 20. století- to tedy určitě ANO!!

[eurydike]

@zdevol7 vypískali, a on prostě odešel z jeviště:)), znáte to: neházejte perly ...tamtěm.

[zdevol7]

@eurydike Děkuji, že jste podpořil můj názor. Bohužel mnohdy se řídí posluchači jen tím, zda je onen zpěvák dostatečně známý a nehledí na jeho kvalitu. Ale myslím, že už se dávno prosadil a přeji mu uznání. Na světě není jenom Scala!

[eurydike]

@zdevol7 já tam nebyla, mohl mít slabší den, ale nedovedu si představit, že bych zrovna na něj bučela:-)))

[zdevol7]

@eurydike četla jsem to na internetu v jeho profilu- a vyrozuměla jsem z toho, že se to stalo při jeho prvním vystoupení v této operní síni.Jinak se mi ohromně líbí také v Carmen a Tosce. Jsem ráda, že se objevují zase mladší talenty, protože operní hudba jistě přežije i momentální nechuť většiny mladé populace k tomuto druhu hudby.

Děkuji za váš nový ty- také krásný hlas.

[eurydike]

@zdevol7 zkuste mrknout na jeho Cida nebo na roi d´ys , tad yna youtube :)

[eurydike]

@zdevol7 p.s. skvělý don josé :)

[Micheleunderline]

A melhor interpretação que já vi até agora.Bravíssimo grande tenor!!!!

[NEBESHIKU]

HE must be so grateful that there is a microphone infront of him, otherwise he would be unaudiable! Meh! Di Stefano, Pavarotti, Coreli and Del Monaco must be in heaven laughing at this asshole's pathetic rendition.

[Veter87]

Ну видно сразу - человек в голосе! Ион от этого кайфует так же как и зритель-слушатель! Браво!!!!

[theory1976]

@Veter87 you what???

[alexgomez2]

Wow! Roberto Alagna hasn't ever been my favorite but I've got to admit, this is one of the best renditions of this very well-known aria. Not only the voice is in the right placement (al always), but his diction is so perfect, his breath sustained and his interpretation effortless. Bravo Roberto!

[MrWinestyle]

The best tenor ever!

[041791ms]

Can he DRAG the tempo anymore?? Jeez wake me up when its OVER!

[Hatblog]

I wept that night, and everytime I hear it! and I hope to be in Orange 2012, when he sings again Turandot, so I will weep again!

[TheCathyNimes]

@Hatblog

It's in Nîmes ( 50 km south far from Orange, that he will sing - I'm sure, cause I'll be there !!!

[Hatblog]

@TheCathyNimes j'espere y etre, no matter where it is. but I thought it would be in Orange, according to his schedule. I've never seen him in Turandot, so I'm looking forward to it. Roberto in person is unparallelled, I'm sorry. His magnetic charm, his diction, his compassion with his audience all leave little to be desired. Hear the clapping at the end: I was there!!!!

[almanegra46]

muy bueno sin embargo creo que esta aria la interpreta con mejor perfomance

RUBEN DOMINGUEZ

[VforVespa]

He took the aria and shot it's brains out with a shotgun.Awful.

[mdechirico]

che pena !!!!

[jacques921]

la pire version que j'ai entendue. Triste

[sujin00shin]

@jacques921

tes fou

[titabeille]

@jacques921

Quelle est la meilleure d'après-toi ?

[jacques921]

@titabeille Plusieurs sont excellentes: Corelli, Del Monaco et Pavarotti (notamment un enregistrement au met datant de 1980 avec Levine)

[jacques921]

@titabeille correction met 1980 avec Mehta

[jacques921]

@titabeill

Pour moi deux versions dominent: celle chantée par Franco Corelli et celle de Pavarotti (Met 1980).

[schnurrle64]

@jacques921 Salut, @titabeill, j'te salut!! Est-ce que tu connais déja la version de Franco Bonisolli?

J'adore Roberto, pas de question, mais de mon avis, Signore Bonisolli, "il pazzo" (le fou) était le vrai

Kalaf. Je dirais, meme Pavarotti était un petit peu trop sage, en ce qui concerne Turandot,- j'espère, tu comprends c'que je veut dire?

J'te souhaite une belle semaine, à la prochaine!

[bodiloto]

voce fuori repertorio.

[31122051]

Tipico esempio di come un tenore non c'entra NULLA con il ruolo che STA interpretando.

[ivancin2010]

muy corto su vinceroo pero alagna creo que es el unico que puede hjacer el papel infinitamente mejor que alvarez que ya esta en decadencia vocal

[ivancin2010]

pavarotti

[ivancin2010]

apavarotti el mejor

[chatochido]

The best "Turandot" Ever is Ghena Dimitrova,

The best "Calaf" is Plàcido Domingo,

The best "Liù" is Leona Mitchel

[joseffin]

@chatochido Yes, Ghena Dimitrova is from my country! I`m proud with her, and proud to be bulgarian!

[AleBro83]

scusate ma l'intonazione è un optional ????

[TheCheche75]

I love Alagna but... it´s not for him.

I don´t need words for talking about my appretiation, xav71176 and MsOperafreak, they stole them!

[tonireed1]

I just saw him in Carmen and I was thinking Mario Lanza only not quite. But great! And carisma and he transports us to the sublime!

[lesmisfan100]

I thought that was brillant!! i would like to hear u lot try sing this if you think its tht bad!

[brunobrandy]

He lost the spin/support on his voice with the B

and the last A and consequently a very

obvious wider vibrato. It's a shame after

you've heard him before do so much

better. I've heard this before in tenors

through over use or just stepping out of

their comfort zones like moving from

arias for the more lyric voice to the

heavier more spinto voice such as this.

[xav71176]

Oops he's lucky to get through

[MsOperafreak]

yes, he started to sing too early...

but apart from that, this is definitely not his best version of "nessun dorma" :P

[contatolirico]

non va benne....tutto indietro. Segue lo stesso camino di Di Stefano. (ma DiStefano almeno fu grande tenore)

[LordMgls]

Not good, indeed. We need tenors, today... but Alagna was never a great tenor.

[giancarloguerrero]

@contatolirico non si puo comparare Alagna col grande Di Stefano! Di Stefano e stato meglio di lui fino quando s'aveva distrutto la voce, negli anni 60.

[chupetadeagrado]

que mal se oye, no soy musico ni cantante pero no llega!

[pieritlyon]

Dios mio que horror, algo le pasa, Da lastima.Él que ha brillado en tantas operas. Seguramente algunos de sus admiradores me insultará por no mentir y decir "está muy bién" para no ser insultado.

[vsm18]

MAestro

[InformedListener]

Yo! This is some tragic singing, y'all...There are too many great tenors whose voices ring freshly in our ears to mess this aria up. Lauri Volpi, Giacomini, Corelli, Pavarotti (the favorite of many), to name a few...with a quick vibrato like he has, I wonder why Alagna hadn't checked out more florid stuff...then there's all sorts of lyric Donizetti stuff beyond Elixir that he could've done, too! But then again, he's the product of marketing...gotta sing what the public wants, not what's best.

[CandyHaleLinton]

Someone compares this voice to Domingo's?

That is like comparing the clanging of empty trash bins kicked around at night to the seductive, richly musical and lustrous tones of the lark.

[FedoraMr]

Muy bien, pero ami no me llena. SULLA TUA BOCA LO DIRO. ahi como que se le iva a terminar el aire. Pero no ahi como Placido Domingo y Luciano Pavarotti R.I.P

[tenoregrande]

Bravissimo maestro Alagna!!!

[bodiloto]

nessun mistero  , il tuo nome e nemorino !

[InformedListener]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! L'hai detto!

[mrcharro]

@bodiloto .... e vero... il mistero esiste soltanto dentro la sua mente.

[Miauriceful]

@bodiloto

sono scoppiato a ridere davanti al monitor come un deficiente :)

[David45NV1]

@bodiloto please don't insult Nemorino

[bodiloto]

@David45NV1 hahahahahahaha !

è vero !

[operaticsnyc]

@bodiloto LOL hahahahaha

[mariedelussac]

J'adore la voix de Alagna, mieux dans le gendre lyrique . Calaf  n'est pas pour lui, mais il chante rudement bien quand-mème!

[colino72]

Here here! I'd listen to Alagna over Domingo anytime personally. Sure, he should have stayed with the lighter lyric repertoir, but he isn't the first tenor to feel the need to sing out of his true fach. Carerras was a prime example.

The high B on this was not pleasant, I have to say...

[Cornour]

Yup, his B wasn't pleasant at all (was he slightly off pitch?), but it is evident he wasn't in the best shape possible during this performance.

[LordMgls]

Just a matter of voice quality and strenght, I think.

[Nater389]

Alagna is not the greatest opera singer. Absolutely agree with your statement though.

[LordMgls]

What do you mean as 'trashing'? How?

I'd be very pleased to join you in that hunting.

[maxpertile]

...non ha la voce per questo repertorio...

he hasn't the right voice for this repertoire

[bodiloto]

Non e vero,oggi IL PUBBLICO DORME.PECCATO!!!

[OlfArts]

Hmmm... surprised he reached that note the way he did.

As one of the highest paid tenors in the world I thought he would have practiced or at least approached the note a lot better.

[greattenors]

Alagna is finished. Having taken on Spinto roles destroyed the beautiful voice he once had. His top notes are now a disaster.

[TheEternaut]

What a pity indeed... I've heard him on "Pour mon áme", with its 8 high Cs. He was very good. I remember Pavarotti when he said "You make a career as a tenor by saying "no" at the right time". Quite true.

[896423658]

What is Spinto?

[carroyoq]

Is a category for the tenor voice, basically you have 3, lyric, spinto and dramatic. Lyric for example is a tenor suitable for some Mozart roles, like Don Giovanni, or Donizetti. Spinto takes on some heavier roles like Don Carlo. Dramatic is for example a voice suitable for Radamés in Aida.

[piasecznik]

Eh. Uhm. Don Giovanni is certainly not a lyric tenor, more a bass-baritone.

[carroyoq]

I was talking about the tenor role in the opera Don Ottavio...

[clemcamby]

i'm so agree! he sings out of tune all the time! he's to proud of himself! his voice moves, it's not easy to recognise the tune of his notes, because his vibrato is to slow!

[coralrabida]

BRAVO!!!

Y a todos los subnormales que vais de maestros.

NO CANTÁIS NI EL CUMPLEAÑOS FELIZ UN TONO BAJO, ASÍ QUE NO VAYÁIS DE MAESTRILLOS VULGARES Y CANTAD!

[tubnauta]

tem uma boa tecnica,mas pavarotti imortalizou nessun dorma na sua voz.

[kskuncaster]

roberto...you are so f. bad...go home....

[Marinausbcn]

My opinion is the same Alagna is really the most good liric tenor, but is not his repertoire, and also is not the Puccini´s Style sorry! Roberto in the right liric tenor way is the best, in dramatic and verista NO!

[liric01994]

penso che qui abbia la voce un po inpastata

[SOPRATENOR]

I love this singer, his timbre is so beautiful. A french proverb is: "L'amour est aveugle"(Love is blind). So, don't let us be blind (or surd!). Mr Alagna sings very often his high notes too high! And I repeat: I love his voice but this is a fact!!! And he sings too high on his discs too! (Nessun dorma, la donna è mobile etc etc etc...)

[matthewtilley1985]

i only meant to say that he is above that top note picking it up not below it reaching up to it as most tenors are.nothing wrong with this performance in my opinion

[babajaga39]

i am also disappointed, but anyone can have a bad day.

[critico68]

anche se non è il massimo in quest'aria, resta sempre un grande....

[marcpat1029]

il egal pavaroti!!!!

[InfernoDaBaka]

Tu y vas fort, trop fort. Ecoute deja la fin ici et compare à celle de Luciano PAVAROTTI. Si tu arrive à me démontrer qu'il n'y a pas de fossé entre les deux interprétations, je veux bien la fermer jusqu'à la fin de ma vie (j'ai 18 ans il me reste du chemin à parcourir, il y a du lourd en jeu enfin pour moi)

[sarahrchds]

Oh, dear! I've just watched and rated highly his 'E lucevan le stelle': what a contrast. In this one he appears drunk! He's taking no notice of the orchestra, he's sluggish to a degree and the anticipation that this aria is all about just isn't there. And no,dear Matthew Tilley, that top B is all over the place. An off day, in my view.

[martello79]

I like Alagna a lot. But that top B was not in the middle of the note, Mr 1985, I am sorry :)

I love him in Romeo and roles like that, I think that suits him best, better than the lyrico spinto repertoire.....

[matthewtilley1985]

Far from a professional tenor level? what is that person talking about, this is beautiful singing, and his tenor is better than Florez's thin bottled tenor.And that top B is absolutely in the middle of the note. Most tenors are either slightly flat or only just there, excellent

[tena2]

I would like to note that in my humble opinion this nessun dorma is not bad sung, the notes were there but I do not understand what you all mean by the high B was in the middle? The top high note ought to be sung from the top of it to get there and sustain it, otherwise you may be the unlicky one to crack or loose support from the diafragm.

[tenore80]

Era un bravissimo cantanta, ora sembra l'ombra di se stesso!!!!!! non dovrebbe cantare queste arie.......

[Alexdelpiero74]

Hmmm great voice, but is he really singing this song or just acting? I can't feel his soul in it..!

[Webarton]

Haha I was there!

[ElcholoErnest]

Escriban Moshe Nace estrella lirica en Peru

[LucaYune]

sorry, not even Diego Florez level. far from professional trained tenor.

[anonio888]

Волшебно

[SOPRATENOR]

Bon le Roberto il est génial comme d'hab; on pourrait chipoter avec son dernier "Vinceeeeeerrrooo" en disant qu'il ne s'éternise pas 3 heures mais comment le lui reprocher! Qui a choisi ce tempo de la mort? Franchement, moi qui aime tant ce morceau, j'ai cru que j'allais m'endormir au début! En tout cas, la voix est vraiment d'une Beauté incomparable.

[ximenadore]

I love Alagna so sweet voice, beautiful pianissimi

Thanks for share!!

BRAVO!!!!

[MrOvidiuLiviu]

Not the best interpretation.Not fed the aria.

[robertocresca]

I love Roberto....

[golfroylan]

Yeah!! Alagna!! : )

[calenheniel]

this was an amazing concert! :D thanks for getting the whole song!! i could only get little clips of each.

[fedelego]

I WAS THERE!!!!

It was amazing!

[tenoregrande]

qbertplaya, thank You very much!!!
