@gatticasazza Whaaaaaat!

[peterwdeng]

Hate to say this to the Pavarotti's fans, this young man is more musical than Mr. P.

[seattleoperaguy]

@peterwdeng well that's one opinion... it happens to be wrong, but it's an opinion.

[denniscbirds]

[EduardoPerelstein]

Calleja is superb. He was amazing with Renee Fleming in La Traviata at the Royal Opera House, 6th July 2009!

The baritone singing here with Calleja in Malta is George Petean.

[FacePaster]

I can hear a few shades of the great Luciano in Calleja's ringing sound. Great tribute. Wonderful tenor. The other tenor is good, too!

[flaze3]

That really isn't an insuly. It's credit to his range and flexibility.

[flaze3]

Great duet. His partner's voice blends excellently with Calleja's.

[Englishtenor2]

Who's the baritone with Calleja?

[semitar6]

Brilliant performance...the camera work could use a little work though...

[hiyadroogs]

ahtenor, before any of the basses, baritones & tenors you mentioned became 'great', - they were simply superb voices minus the reputation & label of 'greatness' from the general public. So too, in my opinion, is Joseph Calleja. Do you need the say so of professional critics & a world wide reputation before you believe the evidence of your own ears? Few sing this well even in recordings, let alone live.

I don't think he owes any of the great tenors an apology for voice or musicianship.

Who is the other magnificent tenor with Joseph Calleja?

[Midneb]

ooooooooooo soleeee mioooooo bellisimo, grazzi jospeh

[aarontenor]

Who is the other tenor?

[Pawelp]

Why is this question marked as spam for Christ's sake?

[omaragiusu]

He is a Baritone!!!

[vincitor]

you saying that paul potts is better says it ALL!!!! lol you have no clue lol

[rmm413c]

Calleja does not have a "nasty tremolo." He has a fast vibrato just like many of the great operatic legends from the early 20th century. He has a classic, traditional method of vocal production. His high notes are better than the vast majority of tenors out there, and in person his voice is surprisingly large, his projection impressive, and his voice has presence. By the way, almost anybody is better than Paul Potts. Calleja is light years better.

[corellipavarotti]

Could not agree more. Potts is not an Opera singer. He is an entertainer with pretensions!

[sfkcbf]

@rmm413c You apparently have far better ears and understanding of exceptionally high qualithy voices, unlike too many audiences today. The worst singing offenders today, however, today seem to be strident sopranos with too loose technique.

[Marcorotti]

Calleja's voice make me cry... So sweet and beauty...
