То ,что техника и произношение немного хромают это ерунда , зато какое преподнесение образа ! Красив , красочен , уверенный, и знающий себе цену Эскамильо ! Актёрское мастерство Брина Терфеля затмевает все погрехи!!!
Terfel is a wonderful singer and spectacular in many roles, but he is not my choice for an Escamillo. His voice is far too heavy and instead of delivering a story telling version, he ends up seeming like the villain, which Escamillo is not. I also think that the orchestra and chorus were fairly emotionless, the balance was shocking, and there was nothing special at all about this performance. The Toreador aria is a dynamic scene, not a work for concert. It should be seen, not just heard.
@rickshawsonson Bryn Terfel always does that. He drastically opens vowels and shoves them in his nose. It sounds horrible. What's good about Bryn Terfel is that he brought lots of people into liking opera. What's bad is that people think his is a quite normal "singing technique". Listen to the the baritones of some time ago. By God, that "car avec les soldats" in the beginning is above and beyond ugly.
what can I say ................... just one thing I´m left speechless, such an extraordianary baritone with such a gem like toreador from Bizet's Carmen and what a group of performers and director.......you know what I´m speechless!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vortre toast, je peux vous le rendre Senors, senors, car avec les soldats Oui, les toreros peuvent s'entendre Pour plaisirs, pour plaisirs ils ont les combats! Le cirque est plein, c'est jour de fête Le cirque est plein du haut en bas, Les spectateurs, perdant la tete, Les spectateurs s'interpellent a grand fracas! Apostrophes, cris et tapage Pousses jusques a la fureur! Car c'est la fete du courage, C'est la fete des gens de coeuer! Allons! en garde! Allons! Allons! ah!
Chorus: Toreador, en garde, Toreador, Toreador! Et songe bien, oui, songe en combattant Qu'un oeil noir te regarde, Et que l'amour t'attend, Toreador, L'amour t'attend! Toreador, en garde, Toreador, Toreador! Et songe bien, oui, songe en combattant Qu'un oeil noir te regarde, Et que l'amour t'attend, Toreador, L'amour t'attend!
thank you for posting this. I am a big terfel's fan and I've been looking for Bryn singing this song for a while. I'm french and his french is not bad at all. He does a very good job with this aria. And I love all the faces he makes!

this is a very poor example of escamillo. Screaming......Escamillo needs to be more balanced, in charge, and dignified

@DanyNicola It is because of his singing technique

@spyridon77 His "singing technique" has to be very wrong. 0:27 is nasally and horrible. Nobody has ever applied this "singing technique".

@DanyNicola I'm pretty sure that's cuz it's a french vowel, but I haven't yet studied this aria.

@zbrownie25 You said it. 40 years ago Terfel would have been a joke. He is a caricature of the great baritones of the past.
