1/7 Rolando Villazón - What Makes a Great Tenor? BBC

[mrluistena]

This is funny enough, Rolando mentions great artists but what about the most dedicated tenor??, Alfredo Kraus. Where is his name said or written in this clip... amazing.

[teresa59]

@mrluistena Para ti faltara Kraus, para otros faltaran otros, cada uno tiene sus preferencias, pero esto no es una relación exhaustiva de "los mejores tenores", siempre habrá alguno que se quedará fuera.

[mrluistena]

@teresa59 Claro Teresa, por eso me abrí cuenta con este canal para ver videos y opinar. No pretendo inculcar nada sólo daba mi opinión. Al igual que tu das la tuya. Cuando se habla, se opina. Y yo hablé del que para mi es el más comprometido tenor de la historia. Si usted tiene otros en mente, bravo por usted.

[walo00916]

@mrluistena I agree, This is a great documental job, but Kraus can not miss

[Dtrollmancan]

[ka2shi7]

villazon is better than florez and kauffman

[MrDarknesslover]

Hate Kauffman!

[issueagent]

Why is there a change of resonance between 2:36 and 2:37?

[dachampishea]

@HeidelbergSoprano Lawrence Brownlee.

[tanpeke]

CIAO SONO GIUSEPPE CONO UN TENORE E HO NOTATO SE GUARDI DAL SETTIMO MINUTO IN POI QUANDO IL TENORE FA I DO DI PETTO ALZA LE PUNTE ED E ' SBAGLIATO, MI INFORMERO MEGLIO CIAO

[spgtenor]

@x00xification - Non importa. Se puoi cantare i do di petto, tutti i nove, poi nessuno si cura.

[btsg]

[Umbriaga]

Bravo!

[orangutan141]

what is the name of the opera at 3:50?

[teresa59]

@orangutan141, is "La Traviata" (Giuseppe Verdi)

[TheU2BigO]

@teresa59 do you know the name of the song at 3:50?

[archeryguy1121]

@teresa59 What is the title of the aria?

[teresa59]

@archeryguy1121, what aria? the first? is "La donna è mobile", from Rigoletto.

[archeryguy1121]

@teresa59 the one from "La Traviata" at 3:50

[teresa59]

@archeryguy1121 , is a final part of "Ogni suo aver tal femmina"

[teresa59]

@orangutan141, is a final part of "Ogni suo aver tal femmina" (La Traviata)

[31operafan]

When I heard Florez sing those NINE high C's, I thought, "That's the next Pavarotti!" :) He is excellent! Keep it up, Juan! :)

[petion2010]

@31operafan Different type. Florez is a Lirico-Leggiero Pavarotti was a full lyric. In comparison, Florez would be more like the next Alfredo Kraus or Luigi AlvA

[31operafan]

Very interesting! :) I hope Villazon enjoys a long career. Don't worry; when Domingo retires and (God forbid) dies, we'll have Villazon and Juan Diego Florez to take over. Opera is not dead yet. It will probably continue long after we're all dead. I have high hopes. You may not agree with me, but that's OK.

[sweltame]

Please, does anybody know what is Placido Domingo singing at 3:19? Thank you!

[teresa59]

@sweltame, is "La dolccisima effigie", from Adriana Lecouvreur (Cilea)

[fellbeast17]

whats the name of the song being sung at the start

[teresa59]

@fellbeast17, is "La donna è mobile", from Rigoletto

[saintsaens21]

I respect Florez saying it's difficult, but it IS easier for him than other tenors, his voice being naturally high.

[petion2010]

@saintsaens21 You're right, this aria is easier for Leggiero. 

[winelegend]

Does anyone know the name of the opera at 3:45?

[teresa59]

@winelegend, this is "Ogni suo aver tal femmina" (La Traviata), sings Joseph Calleja

[tiwo1008]

Does anyone know the name of the aria at 2:57?

[teresa59]

@tiwo1008 , Is "Di quella pira" (Il Trovatore), sings Franco Corelli

[tiwo1008]

@teresa59 Thank you very much. For the answer and for sharing this wonderful documentary =)

[DMBKristen41]

I love @3:50 how Joseph Calleja hurles that money at Renee Fleming. That's probably the best interpretation of that scene that I've ever seen. I hope I can get my hands on a copy of that DVD.

[31operafan]

xD When Villazon demonstrated the tenor range, and slammed his hand in the piano afterwards, I giggled. He's so funny! Some people believe he and Juan Diego Florez started the "third wave" of legendary tenors (the first began with Caruso, and the second began with Pavarotti).

[ophunka]

Nem vagyok szakértő,egyszerűen csak szeretem az operákat, VIVA VILLAZON !!!!

[avalokiteshivara]

Soh fala do Villazon??

[betylu18]

teresa59 Me fascina este documental..!!, lo he visto completito, pero desearia con el corazón que llevara subtitulos...entiendo poco el ingles, aunque Rolando lo habla de una manera que me ha ayudado a entenderlo un poco mas...su acento mexicanizado....je je..adoro a Villazón y lo admiro mucho mas....cada dia aprendo mas de él...

[cantanteporsiempre]

@teresa59  son precisamente lo mejor de lo mejor.

[cantanteporsiempre]

@teresa59 Y como la Callas, por supuesto que no había otra, porque ella además de su enorme voz y su presencia escénica (aparte de ser una trabajadora incansable de su profesión), era músico, excelente pianista!!! daaaa, cosa muy rara en un cantante. Como Villazón que con todos mis respetos, sus maestros de cuando estudiaba en México dicen que nunca pudo solfear una nota y mucho menos tocar el piano con las dos manos, así que hay cantantes y cantantes. Y no los que están en el pináculo son

[alissgabor]

thank you and yes could you post the soprano version please?

[Diva2themax]

Thanks so much for posting this. Can you post the Soprano version as well??

[cptnunderwhere]

Not a Villazon fan, probably never will be. Seems like a nice enough guy though, tenordom aside.

[cingaroperu]

Gracias teresa59, gran aporte para los amantes de la lírica, grande rolando, grande juan diego y anna y renne, siempre se extraña a frits.
