I do not think that everyone knows that this duet was designed for two distinct voices: a baritone and a tenor. When compared to a baritone, a tenor will always be the softer voice. So everyone criticizes Bocelli for singing the softer part that he is SUPPOSED to sing. Yes, I know, Bocelli's voice is probably amplified more than Terfel's, but both wear microphones. I listen to this duet without these prejudices in mind, and I discover this to be a great performance by both men.
Enjoyable but even with modern technology not a patch on the Bjorling/Merrill version which never fails to bring a tear and that wonderful spine tingle.
I almost cried this time. I do actually understand the lyrics, and sometimes, I want to say this to a girl: yes, it's you, you're the goddess, more charming and more beautiful, yes it's you, you're my goddess, and I am on my knees.
it feels like seeing someone so beautiful that you fell in love at first sight, and makes you feel like you're meeting a goddess... this song gives me the same hormons in my head, I think.
bocelli -- still waiting for some power and emotion =- still unable to balance/equal bryn --not hisequal -- lovely voice BUT no strength or character--sorry!
Es simlemente fantastico no juzguen su volumen vocal en la historia hubo varios cantantes liricos sin voces tan poderosas e igual triunfaron Tito Schipa ,Vanzo ,Tagiavini ,una voz bien colocada simpre seescucha por mas pequeña que sea decia Krausse , hizo La Boheme y Wherter como roles completos pero ahora su voz esta mas madura y podria intentar en alguntearo con buena acustica un rol liviano como este o romantico ,por algo estas donde estas Andrea tu voz esbellisima y llega te AMOO !!
@maartenheemstra Oh, you are so funny [sic]. With or without a microphone, Bocelli has a sensitivity and warmth to his voice that I do not hear in other tenors. Apparently Bryn Terfel appreciates Bocelli as much as I do. I am sure the best baritone of our age can choose to sing this duet with any tenor, but he sang it with Bocelli. I suppose you think Bryn has made a horrible mistake. You must be a brilliant critic of opera.
@LaDonnaization Actually Bocelli really needs a mic - his voice is not trained for non-mic singing (he never needed it), but it's beautiful though. And besides Bryn is more POWERFUL then most singers, but he also needs a mic for several occasions: large halls, open air performances. I admit though - i like Bryn better :) - but he is an opera singer - Bocelli is a POP/OPERA singer.
Bocelli IS a real opera singer - He was magnificent in La Boheme, the choreography to help him move around onstage was superb too. I have heard many other singers do this Pearl Fishers duet, Bocelli and Terfel's version is the only one which gives me goosebumps - it is absolutely amazing.
Stunning, just stunning. God, I wish I were one percent as talented. I really, really know music and you must know that Andrea is the best Tenor the planet has ever had and probably ever will.
I think being very different singers makes this piece come to life - they are two different men who love the same woman, why should they sound like copies? The juxtaposition of Bocelli's smooth and silky, light-as-air voice and Terfel's deep, earthy timber create a spectacular sound show AND send the story home.
BIG JOKE Bocelli. Having a handicap and beeing blind, by itself it is a big tragedy, but that is no reason to give her that place in the art of opera. There are thousands of singers much better, but don't get the possibility and the break. Myself, I won't spend 1 cent in buying his cd, less attending a concert
Altho I prefer this piece as an instrumental, Bocelli sounds wonderful singing it. But then, he sounds wonderful no matter what he is singing. How can anyone debate that?
For an instrumental version, listen to Georghe Zamfir. Beautiful as well.

@ LacAarchitect your talking through your hole pal> Andrea Bocelli has been singing opera way before he was approached to sing any contemporary material. Yes he's a good marketing asset and fans of all styles of the work he has done have all fell for him, but to suggest he is a total invention of marketing hype shows your utter ignorance. The timbre in his voice, his clarity, technique& control are brilliant. Id say people in the classical world would take you serious instead yeah!!!
This is just breathtakingly beautiful. I think these two are perfect for each other in this piece. Andrea Bocelli has the most beautiful voice on the planet
This is a beautiful rendition of this song, regardless of whether Andrea Bocelli is a pop singer or clasical singer,he sings the right notes in the right key and it sounds good. There is to much pomp and pretension surrounding opera People should stop being so snobish about opera and clasical music and just enjoy it.most music critics can't sing a note.
I agree. Just enjoy the music. I know nothing about opera. My father brought me up on Gigli and Bjorling but I just love listening to beautiful voices. I do enjoy Bocelli. I also love Bryan Ferry and Leonard Cohen.

I don't think A. Bocelli ever claimed he's a pure classical singer...I believe he has been categorized as a "Classical Crossover [or Crossover Classical] Artist"...
Bryn Terfel is an all star. But seriously, Andrea Bocelli is a total invention of marketing hype. He takes away space that should be occupied by so many truly gifted tenors. No one in the classical world takes him seriously.
I don't care what anyone says, I love this. I am not incredibly well versed in knowledge of opera, I'm getting there, but I love this! I love Bocelli's voice.

For those of you arguing about Bocellis' voice, an interesting comparison can be made with the version on the following link - here Bryn Terfel is singing The Pearl Fishers duet with Alfie Boe; and yes, it is utterly sublime:
I loove all tenors. I think there are no "best". In the kingdom of good singers there are no best but only good singers.
I love Andrea Bocelli, I think he really as brought something knew. I admit he has not the powerful level of a real opera singer but who cares ? There are enough opera singers. I think we need a singer like A. Bocelli, more than a new opera classical singer. Everyone is different. Stop criticize and enjoy...
@Chrisdenancy do not agree at all when saying that Andrea doesn't have the power of a real operasinger. he has that in full and further....he masters his vocal lips to perfection thus creating that rare and individual sensational emotion that rises through your spine when he sings. don't patronize his skills
@alligatorgal i have no problem with your comment apart from when you said ' a real music fan could care less'. I think you mean COULDN'T care less. saying i could care less implies exactly that- that you could care less than you do, therefore suggesting that you DO in fact care. Nice video btw :)
@Yoyoyoman35 this is actually French =P and (I think) this is where they recall how they used to be rivals for the love of a priestess. Such an amazingly beautiful piece of music =] loved it since I was a little child lol
Terfel is magnificent. What a waste to pair him with Bocelli who is absolutely emotionless in this. Sure, he sings all the notes but, to my ears, totally without feeling. He has a beautiful voice, but, he is completely out of his realm here. Check out Alagna or Kraus or Villazon or Gedda or Vargas if you want to hear how a tenor should sound in this..........
No hay que soñar, Bocelli, no tiene nada que hacer cantando opera, Bryn Terfel es
otra cosa, no sé como accedió a cantar junto a este tenor que es solo pop, y nada más con esa vocecita que se entretiene arrastrando las notas todo el tiempo.
This is a excellent version of this beautiful aria. I have Jussi Bjorling and Robert Merrill, Maria Ancona and Enrico Caruso and Beniamino Gigli and Guiseppe De Luca and this compares favorably. Andra is effortless and Bryn a powerful Baritone.

Bocelli has best voice out there period! I dis-like the wavering Falseto of most singers he can carry an un wavering note better than anyone, that is why he such a good cross over artist.
All this nonsense. I am an opera fan through and through. BUT this is a lovely and beautifully sung concert version of one of the great duets ever written in any genre. Personally, I lean toward the Merrill/Bjorling rendition, but that is just personal taste. This version was beautiful, just beautiful.
Fantástico,combinação perfeita .Se fosse possível "Pearl Fishers Duet" c/ Andrea Bocelli e Zezé Di Camargo, o mundo sentiria o esplendor de duas grandes vozez que se combinam além de qualquer comentário.Entendo que um dia isso pode acontecer,e será certamente SUBLIME.Zezé tem uma voz única,uma garganta de ouro,porque de diamante,é a de Andrea Bocelli!.
You are all right . i am myself an opera lover but i arrived to opera through non-conventional ways. Even if Bocelli is not my best choice i wish he excited curiosity of people to ear ,and get used to the beauty of opera sounds.
If you liked his performance , ear it again and again and then try other interpretations , as that one of Roberto Alagna for a start and more... and you will be soon an opera expert. Don't forget : The right sound is the one you like !!!
Bocelli has a beautiful voice. Yes, he used a mic. So does everyone else. Its not like an opera house; the place is probably made acoustically to be used with mics. I read something about doing justice to the composer by performing it the way it as intended. BS. How many actors perform Shakespeare on a thrust stage, or yell their lines at the top of their lungs to be heard? Taking all into consideration, Bocelli is amazing. If you think you can do better, show us. Please.
this is ok, if this IS what your looking for! it does what it intends to do, as an opera singer myself i say that its obviously not oepra standard and that these 2 singers are not opera singers by any stretch of the mind. the reverb is a little too much even for pop for my liking. but i can appreciate it for what it is. people just need to not treat it as opera and mroe as an interpretation of a classic.
Opera Lovers should shut up and recognize that Bocelli is not a true opera singer. He is however the greatest pop singer on the planet. Can you fault him if he wants to do opera?-it is the most powerful music written. He also brings exposure to this great music that non but Pavarotti has done so far. By contrast Pavarotti is definitely not a pop singer but he wanted to do pop and kept us well entertained doing pop.
It is impossible to sing both pop and opera - so far no one has done it well!
Why cannot people just listen and watch two excellent singers and stop all the negative comments. There is absolutely no need for it at all. We have here two gentlemen whose goal in life is to entertain in their particular genre and they do an extremely good job.
Why has one got to be compared to another, just listen to what is in front of you and enjoy.
I come back to this duet, because it is the second most beautiful that I have heard from a tenor.Only the Bjorling voice touches me more in this duet. This is also a great baritone voice. Bocelli is not Bjorling,Corelli, Gigli, or Pavarotti to name a few, but he can sing opera. For show he takes on pieces that are too big for his voice. He is a "Bel Canto" tenor and would sound best in the Lyric genre of opera. All that matters, though, is that he does have a beautiful voice that touches people.
This is like making beautiful art with the voice. Amplification or not, this is "Bel Canto", which today is a lost art. Look up Tito Schipa, he never had a big voice, but he made music into art. Boceli's voice is a gift from God. He can sing very well, thank you!!!
Why "enhance" what is already good? Theese two can sing really well. Change the technicans plase. Or better sak the producer for tampering with the sining...
Oh right. This two men are amazing. The combination of the tenor voice of Andrea Bocelli and the bas / bariton voice of Bryan Terfel.. (Btw, which kind of tenor is Mr. Bocelli? Lyric or Heroic?) But right, Andrea Bocelli is not the best tenor ever, Pavarotti is not for nothing called 'Il Maestro" or the master. (My favorite tenor is Franco Corelli). For this song I want to give my opinion: Bryan Terfel is here really good with the combination with Mr Bocelli but Mr. Bjorling is better.
Ok,I know next to nothing about opera/classics.All I hear are two richly powerful vocalists performing superbly,in my humble opinion,together! So,tell me,when all the 'experts' who post on here with their criticisms of technicalities,when do they actually just sit & listen & enjoy what's being performed?! And,if they are all so damn good,why aren't we listening to their videos on here?! Just a thought!
People like the feeling he puts in his songs, his performance, his simplicity, a lot of sing teachers say that he has and incredible technique because he can sing everything he has an amazing repertory, come on he is not perfect and maybe he doesnt has a fully opera singer voice, but let me tell you HE DOESNT NEED THAT, all his work, all his vocal work, and an endless list of achievements makes him one of the Greatest Singers of 21th Century
Bocelli is doing the same thing that Pavarotti, i mean, Pavarotti spread the Opera in the Pop and Rock Music, and Bocelli Spread the Bolero, Balad, Pop, etc, in the Opera, for me he was one of the creators of the Essence of Pop Opera, not just because he sings Pop Opera, is because He Follow the lead of the great idea of master Pavarotti: Combine All the Musical Genders with the Principles, Technics, and Essences of the Opera. And the best thing PEOPLE LIKE IT!
Wow! I stumbled across this video by accident....this is the most beautiful song I've ever heard! The perfect voices combined with the reverb makes it sound hauntingly beautiful! I've never heard anything quite like this before...I love this :)
@seashelley09 It is amazing! Another beautiful piece from the same opera is a tenor aria--to hear it, search Je crois entendre encore (Castronovo). The tenor is Charles Castronovo and he's singing it in rehearsal at San Diego Opera.
@husasaheh Hi, thanks for that, but I found this by mistake, I don't really listen to opera much. There's just something special about this song. I think its the one man's voice I love, the bearded man (sorry I don't know which man is which) his voice is so beautiful! makes me want to cry. the other man is good too, but his voice is more harsh, the reason I don't generally like opera,the bearded man's voice is so sweet and beautiful I love it. Why are his eyes closed, I'm guessing he's blind? :(
Bocelli was Franco Corelli disciple he has almost the same escence of master Corelli that why his vibrato isnt like the other tenors, he is an amazing singer and very versatile
@solisespecial Yes, he had the incredible privilege of studying with Corelli and it helped him but come on, the same essence as Corelli? CORELLI? I'm speechless. This is about the best I've heard Bocelli sing.
@husasaheh & arppegio1358 .....blah, blah, blah....."arrogance" is all I hear from you!. How long are you going to pretend you're two different peolple? HA! not fooling anyone, troll!
@alligatorgal all you hear is arrogance because you're an arrogant person. Do you think slinging personal insults at people who have a different opinion than you is humble? What was my comment just now? It addressed your irrational degrading of arpeggio by using your own words and it said Bocelli sounds much better here. If that's arrogance to you then say hello to your in home mental healthcare professional because you're certifiably nuts.
@husasaheh I love the way you always twist things around to your advantage to make the person your talking to seem to be the fool.....you know exactly what I mean....on the other videos, don't pretend these are your first comments on the subject. Only proves my point of your arrogance......even correcting my typo...I suppose you're never made a typo either?
Enjoy your life of being a professional troll, your "job" as you called it yourself
@alligatorgal It's not a typo when there's a red line under it telling you it's misspelled. What am I twisting? The fact is you have not made any comments that add to the discussion. Say something insightful about Bocelli or music in general, please. All you do is call people names and use sarcasm. If you're going to use sarcasm, at least be funny. You're boring alligatorgal.
@husasaheh ok then....explain your need to announce on every one of Bocelli's videos that he needs "to be amplified, he can't sing opera, he has a small voice, etc"? what is the purpose, what is your motive for it? If what you say is true, that you like his pop singing, then why not go to his pop songs and post something positive? The truth is, no one but an opera critic would care about those things, a real music fan could care less, they just love what they hear, thats what music is all about.
@alligatorgal --because once you mic opera, it loses it's authenticity. I want an honest, authentic rendition. A good example is beer. It you need to garnish it with fruit, it's not very good beer. Once you garnish a singer with a mic, the voice doesn't matter anymore. Bocelli could not sing this music without a mic so how honest can it be? I saw Pavarotti at a sports arena with a mic and it was terrible, it wasn't art, it was commercialism. He made over $1million on that single concert.
@husasaheh But how could the sound reach this entire arena without a mic, seriously? the people who are farthest away couldn't possibly hear the performance well without a mic. this is a concert, not an opera, so I'm sure both men need the amplification to reach the entire crowd. I'm not trained in opera but to someone like me who listens to all types of music, to me both men's voices sound to be of equal volume and strength in this song. I think its awesome, I wouldn't change anything about it.
@alligatorgal at the same time, a real music fan cares about the execution of a composer's work in the way it was intended to be sung: in this case, with no amplification. it's true that people can say "oh, this is pretty," but the musician is concerned with doing justice to the composer, and not necessarily those listening. certainly, without the audience, the music is worthless, but the process starts with the composer.
@alligatorgal i am an opera singer, and im teling you now, he was one of the best tnor voices of our time, unlike pavarotti he doesnt feel the need to have to shout everyting, this song also does not need to be amplified, it is a beautiful sow quiet song. shouting is not a good aspect of a male voice!
@alligatorgal to whoever you are talking to, he has one of the best tenor vboices of our time, i am an opera singer and note that unlike pavarotti he does not feel the need to shut everything he sings, Boccelliis amplified anough, the perfect amount infact, this song does also not call for shouting! that is all!
@swiftystapenhillswan are you fucking tone death or something Bocelli has a beautiful, powerful voice he does not fucking shout if you can do better lets hear it or shut the fuck up Phillistine
@Grove2000 Bravo! mi domando: se non fosse cieco, sarebbe così famoso? forse la compassione può più della tecnica. Sicuramente per lui sarebbe stato meglio essere normale, ma visto che gli è capitato questa disgrazie, avrebbe preferito essere MUTO ( per il bene di tanti!!)
@alligatorgal My comment to this "heckler" Bocelli has never needed to be amplified, the sound of his voice brings utter silence to all those under the sound of his angelic voice, and if you would only stfu for one moment and listen, you would be moved to agree, and we would forgive your ignorance. Bocelli is truly one of a kind.. I find his music simply humbling
@alligatorgal It's usually better to ignore these attention-seeking types who volunteer opinions that are critical but without value. They are missing the pleasure to be found in the music and that is their cross to bear not yours or mine. Perhaps they do it because they're ignored, and justifiably so, in their everyday life. Whatever the reason, they are sadly lacking. I wish you peace, well-being and continued enjoyment of fine music like this.
@alligatorgal I agree with you! And most people who love music will enjoy the music for what it is. Additionally, those who criticise without basis have probably never seen Andrea Bocelli live, for if they had so - would not come to such uninformed conclusions. I have seen him perform on 4 occasions and he achieves as much applause for his operatic renditions as he does for his contemporary performances.Love his music for what it is and leave your negativity to yourself. He is a brilliant singer
What are you talking about, I LOVE all sorts of music, and not being musical I cannot comment, only on what I like. It is not up to me to make comments on things I do not understand.I love Bryan Adams, Abba, Cliff, Soo what do I know
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Unfortunately, Bocelli has to be amplified everywhere he sings because he has a small voice, so they had to amplify Terfel, too. Terfel's wonderful voice does not need amplification.
@alligatorgal At least I make my comments politely, and don't resort to rudeness. i've never said that Bocelli is a bad singer, just that he isn't an opera singer and that he has a small voice that needs amplification. As a pop stylke singer, he's very good.
@arpeggio1358 Do you realize how annoying it is to see you and your "friends" criticising Andrea on nearly EVERY video i look at??? Surely you have more important things to do with your life?! LOL
@alligatorgal Do you realize how annoying it is to see you and your "friends" criticizing (how did you spell that wrong? there is spell check on YouTube) everyone who has an opinion about Bocelli that is different than your own? Surely YOU have more important things to do with your life than comment on comments--I on the other hand don't. BTW way, he sounds much better here.
The Albert hall has always been criticised for it`s acoustics.Some years ago to counteract the problems they fitted reflective circles suspended from the ceiling,to try to overcome the problems.This is why it has not been used for recordings.
Sell outs mean nothing,witness the real crap on X factor et al.You can fool all of the public sometimes,fool some of them all of the time,but NEVER FOOL ALL OF THEM ALL OF THE TIME.If you want to listen to electronically enhanced recordings,do so.
@Arcadiangrove The amplification was for Bocelli's benefit as he really needs it. Terfel does not. I'd like to hear Terfel sing this with a real operatic tenor who does not need amplification to be heard
Well a different era obviuosly, and time moves on. All to do with individual taste, But do not forget the oldies. Do not need to get out more, I know good music when I hear it
@daffonfire This recording is a joke,it has been completely enhanced electronically.They both sound as though they are singing in a Cathedral with an added echo chamber!!!! Nothing like reality.I doubt they would be half as good just live on stage!!!!!!!!!
@Arcadiangrove Oh get out more or just accept it as a treat for us mere mortals ears. Who cares what has been done to the recording. Terfel and Bocelli are sell outs wherever they perform so perhaps the paying public know more about them than you do.
It is the Albert Hall anyway - known for its excellent acoustics.
@johnblack03 who cares what's been done to the recording? Don't you realize it's a lie? It's lying about the voice. Art must be authentic and honest or else it's not art, it's commercialism posing as art and the philistines lap it up. Since when has the paying public known more about anything? Your argument is an appeal to the people which is an informal fallacy and negates your point. Using your logic, the Toyota Camry is a better car than the BMW M5 because more people buy it.
"Au fond du temple saint" un bel duetto di Zurga e Nadir dei Pescatori di perle sembra meraviglioso perché è maschile (un duetto molto raro). Ma la stessa opera, raccontante dell'Oriente sembra già meravigliosa.

I suppose you think Bryn has made a horrible mistake. You must be a brilliant critic of opera.

The juxtaposition of Bocelli's smooth and silky, light-as-air voice and Terfel's deep, earthy timber create a spectacular sound show AND send the story home.

BIG JOKE Bocelli. Having a handicap and beeing blind, by itself it is a big tragedy, but that is no reason to give her that place in the art of opera. There are thousands of singers much better, but don't get the possibility and the break. Myself, I won't spend 1 cent in buying his cd, less attending a concert

Altho I prefer this piece as an instrumental, Bocelli sounds wonderful singing it. But then, he sounds wonderful no matter what he is singing. How can anyone debate that?
For an instrumental version, listen to Georghe Zamfir. Beautiful as well.

@ LacAarchitect your talking through your hole pal> Andrea Bocelli has been singing opera way before he was approached to sing any contemporary material. Yes he's a good marketing asset and fans of all styles of the work he has done have all fell for him, but to suggest he is a total invention of marketing hype shows your utter ignorance. The timbre in his voice, his clarity, technique& control are brilliant. Id say people in the classical world would take you serious instead yeah!!!

This is a beautiful rendition of this song, regardless of whether Andrea Bocelli is a pop singer or clasical singer,he sings the right notes in the right key and it sounds good. There is to much pomp and pretension surrounding opera People should stop being so snobish about opera and clasical music and just enjoy it.most music critics can't sing a note.

Terfel is magnificent. What a waste to pair him with Bocelli who is absolutely emotionless in this. Sure, he sings all the notes but, to my ears, totally without feeling. He has a beautiful voice, but, he is completely out of his realm here. Check out Alagna or Kraus or Villazon or Gedda or Vargas if you want to hear how a tenor should sound in this..........

Bocelli has a beautiful voice. Yes, he used a mic. So does everyone else. Its not like an opera house; the place is probably made acoustically to be used with mics. I read something about doing justice to the composer by performing it the way it as intended. BS. How many actors perform Shakespeare on a thrust stage, or yell their lines at the top of their lungs to be heard? Taking all into consideration, Bocelli is amazing. If you think you can do better, show us. Please.

this is ok, if this IS what your looking for! it does what it intends to do, as an opera singer myself i say that its obviously not oepra standard and that these 2 singers are not opera singers by any stretch of the mind. the reverb is a little too much even for pop for my liking. but i can appreciate it for what it is. people just need to not treat it as opera and mroe as an interpretation of a classic.
TheSbanham 11 months ago
Opera Lovers should shut up and recognize that Bocelli is not a true opera singer. He is however the greatest pop singer on the planet. Can you fault him if he wants to do opera?-it is the most powerful music written. He also brings exposure to this great music that non but Pavarotti has done so far. By contrast Pavarotti is definitely not a pop singer but he wanted to do pop and kept us well entertained doing pop.
It is impossible to sing both pop and opera - so far no one has done it well!

I come back to this duet, because it is the second most beautiful that I have heard from a tenor.Only the Bjorling voice touches me more in this duet. This is also a great baritone voice. Bocelli is not Bjorling,Corelli, Gigli, or Pavarotti to name a few, but he can sing opera. For show he takes on pieces that are too big for his voice. He is a "Bel Canto" tenor and would sound best in the Lyric genre of opera. All that matters, though, is that he does have a beautiful voice that touches people.

Let's be fair. Not everyone can sing operatically. Bocelli can't - does that mean he doesn;t have a beautiful voice? No. so why worry or fret?

This is like making beautiful art with the voice. Amplification or not, this is "Bel Canto", which today is a lost art. Look up Tito Schipa, he never had a big voice, but he made music into art. Boceli's voice is a gift from God. He can sing very well, thank you!!!

Oh right. This two men are amazing. The combination of the tenor voice of Andrea Bocelli and the bas / bariton voice of Bryan Terfel.. (Btw, which kind of tenor is Mr. Bocelli? Lyric or Heroic?) But right, Andrea Bocelli is not the best tenor ever, Pavarotti is not for nothing called 'Il Maestro" or the master. (My favorite tenor is Franco Corelli). For this song I want to give my opinion: Bryan Terfel is here really good with the combination with Mr Bocelli but Mr. Bjorling is better.

Bocelli is doing the same thing that Pavarotti, i mean, Pavarotti spread the Opera in the Pop and Rock Music, and Bocelli Spread the Bolero, Balad, Pop, etc, in the Opera, for me he was one of the creators of the Essence of Pop Opera, not just because he sings Pop Opera, is because He Follow the lead of the great idea of master Pavarotti: Combine All the Musical Genders with the Principles, Technics, and Essences of the Opera. And the best thing PEOPLE LIKE IT!

The truth is, no one but an opera critic would care about those things, a real music fan could care less, they just love what they hear, thats what music is all about.
alligatorgal 1 year ago 55
@alligatorgal --because once you mic opera, it loses it's authenticity. I want an honest, authentic rendition. A good example is beer. It you need to garnish it with fruit, it's not very good beer. Once you garnish a singer with a mic, the voice doesn't matter anymore. Bocelli could not sing this music without a mic so how honest can it be? I saw Pavarotti at a sports arena with a mic and it was terrible, it wasn't art, it was commercialism. He made over $1million on that single concert.
husasaheh 1 year ago
@husasaheh But how could the sound reach this entire arena without a mic, seriously? the people who are farthest away couldn't possibly hear the performance well without a mic. this is a concert, not an opera, so I'm sure both men need the amplification to reach the entire crowd. I'm not trained in opera but to someone like me who listens to all types of music, to me both men's voices sound to be of equal volume and strength in this song. I think its awesome, I wouldn't change anything about it.
TheGumby89 1 year ago
@alligatorgal at the same time, a real music fan cares about the execution of a composer's work in the way it was intended to be sung: in this case, with no amplification. it's true that people can say "oh, this is pretty," but the musician is concerned with doing justice to the composer, and not necessarily those listening. certainly, without the audience, the music is worthless, but the process starts with the composer.

@alligatorgal I agree with you! And most people who love music will enjoy the music for what it is. Additionally, those who criticise without basis have probably never seen Andrea Bocelli live, for if they had so - would not come to such uninformed conclusions. I have seen him perform on 4 occasions and he achieves as much applause for his operatic renditions as he does for his contemporary performances.Love his music for what it is and leave your negativity to yourself. He is a brilliant singer
