Roberto Alagna "E lucevan le stelle"

[monroman1]

wonderful voice !

[melloyellophone]

God I wish he was still like this. Except for the mullet. Other than that he was pretty much a god.

[robtul12]

What is wrong with this intransigent audience?

[francescofren]

Maestro2500, you're right man

[claclasoprano]

...una morbidezza sconvolgente nel cantare quest'aria...stupendo...

[nagytenor]

the best e lucevan le stelle....nice

[RinaKnyazeva1]

E lucevan le stelle, ed olezzava la terra stridea l’uscio dell’orto ed un passo sfiorava la rena. Entrava ella fragrante, mi cadea tra le braccia. O dolci baci, o languide carezze, mentr’io fremente le belle forme disciogliea dai veli! Svanì per sempre il sogno mio d’amore. L’ora è fuggita, e muoio disperato! E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!

[tino14200]

La Reléve est assurer !!!!

[agopihel]

The best perfomacne I have heard last 10 years, thanks a lot.

[hoterebel]

Magnifique, superbe, grandiose! Roberto est le meilleur interprète

J'en frissonne de bonheur

Merci

[operaticsnyc]

This is the best I've ever heard him. Heard him live at the Met a couple times more recently, and I'm sad to say the quality of performance wasn't nearly as high as in this video

[tenordramaticitm2]

Great voice! Bravo Roberto Alagna!

[toscadepuccini]

What a voice!



[so451]

Quel Monde de faux culs... Regardez le serrer la main du musicien ..sans le regarder ! un vrai politicien !!!

[petion2010]

Damnnnnnnnnnnnn

[juanitobc]

impresionanteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eee capooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Maestro2500]

Pavarotti, Domingo, I've heard your versions of this song. As much as I love both of you, I'm sorry, but NO COMPARISON.

[hotboyclarence]

@Maestro2500 you just like his dramatic young looks. admit it

[Maestro2500]

@hotboyclarence If you're implying what I think you are, not all of us swing that way, bud.

[FFCKH]

@Maestro2500 No comparison at all... domingo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> alagna

[JohnnyBlowstar]

Pity he's wearing make-up like a newly-plastered wall, but his singing is deep and powerful and effortless. I agree with gillesparis09 there's no excuse for classifying Alagna in anything other than the top tier of tenors.

[gillesparis09]

la voix procure des sentations fortes...mais tout le monde n'est pas du même avis pour preuve ce mec au deuxième rang qui n'applaudit pas...??!!

[mauriciomille]

We must thanks to the tenors for share their voices with the world, but before that, we must thanks to the writters and composers who made the tenor's made it possible and joyfull to sing it, without them the tenors couldn't just exists, and also joyfull for us, the listener!

Thanks G.Puccini. G.Rossini, G. Donizetti, G: Verdi, V.Bellini, R. LeonCavallo, P. Mascagni, and thousend more from 1500 - Present

[floryrose]

Wonderful!

[Limpandtotheleft]

He's almost as good as Jose Carreras.

But, for me, his attempts to impose emotion strained the sound.

Carreras made me cry.

[Raccoons31]

What an amazingly beautiful voice on an equally amazingly beautiful man. Thank goodness Luciano Pavarotti gave him a chance to sing at the Voice Competition. And thanks to Alagna for winning that competition. Gorgeous...all the way around.

[Maestro2500]

The very first time I heard this video, I broke down and cried at the beauty of the melody and the bittersweet poetry of the words....only Alagna's performance of this aria has ever done that...he is truly something else.

[sadi0019]

The Domingo`s interpretacion is the best!

[belicious33]

Roberto is the 2nd Verdi to me and I love his soul

[belicious33]

yeah definitely a genius

[Ottick100]

ha una voce bella e sa interpretare molto bene il personaggio

[juanitobc]

nada para hablar impresionante,increible perfomance de su poderosa voz,sabe manejar muy bien los tonos eso significa gran conocimiento de su parte respiratoria y craneal

[MrCriys]

i listen you day & night...i am bariton but i like very much the tenor voice...:X

[Pagliaccio1970]

Very impressive performance....no Jose Cura tugboat whistle here..........

[JoshDuJour]

hmmm, i'm not a huge Alagna fan . . . but I really enjoyed this . . .

[TheCatcherkid]

I strongly believe that he sings this aria better than pavarotti......although he is not the greatest tenor to ever walk the stage, he is a very strong opera singer and inteeprets the songs well......and I think that he will be remebered as such.

[LucaYune]

Roberto Alagna note élevée est à l'origine belle

[Gio0587]

Molto bene!!!

[jenni4claire]

Of the tenors still living, I think his is the best version of this I have heard..

Its true he is not de Stefano or Pavarotti, but its not fair  to compare him to every tenor who ever recorded this aria and then deride him for not being as good. I am sure he does not claim to be.

[Willzito]

Some from the audience were not applauding him. dunno why.

In fact he has a great voice, but i don't feel emotion

[Swany243]

so good

[Brahmsfourth]

Roberto Alagna sings with gorgeous heartfelt ardor without slipping into histrionics. A great tenor!

[theory1976]

@Brahmsfourth whats histrionics?..

[Brahmsfourth]

@theory1976 theatrics, over-the-top drama

[theory1976]

@Brahmsfourth in that case, i love histrionics !;-)

[melisanden]

@Brahmsfourth I am in total agreement! This is fabulous! Thank god for youtube!

[carmengatita82]

Hace muchos años,viendo este concierto me enamore de el,de su voz,me trae tan buenos recuerdos este video.

Carmen.

[gcalvet81]

Merveilleux magnifique superbe .

Gratia Roberto .

[Agttga]

Astonishing beautiful.

[redwaz]

Singing is Art.

Art is something that only you can see your way.

Wheter he sings correctly or not doesnt matter, its the result that matters.

Its basically like a striker in football, he plays rubbish every game but still scores three goals which wins the match, does that make him a good striker or not??

Do you like Picasso? I dont, I dont see anything there at all, but lots of people do.

Leave Alagna alone, I like his versions of this aria, he hits the notes for me, pardon the pun.

[suggestum]

Perfection !!!

[Assy84]

astonishing beautiful

[toscadepuccini]

So beautiful. Who's better? I prefer his interpretation than Pavarotti's or some others. I like Domingo's interpretations, but this one is the best!

[fuenftakt]

Hello, yes you're right,.....but listen to Franco Corelli live in Parma 1967.

Its unbelievable. The audience shout for 7 Minutes Bravoooooooo.

Best wishes

[leonore0210]

I bought this Corelli-recording, and i don´t know if he knew want he was singing about: love, passion, desperation...instead of showing all these feelings, he hold the high note over I don´t know how many seconds long. Sure, he had a wonderful voice, and the audience always loves the high notes, but I was disappointed, Corelli was imo during this performance to full of himself.

[coreTenore]

No entiendo porque es por algunos criticado., en mi opinión es una muy buena versión.

[me148]

AWESOME

he's not scooping or sharping so much here!!!!

[SlitherX]

la interpretación fué muy buena, 5/5 en ese sentido.

pero se ve muy pretencioso... a lo tito beltrán... que lata.

[1212625bear]

only alagna with his voice, good but not excelent

[alvarogm86]

great! maravilloso!

[hanbelx]

Fantástico Alagna. Bracias Onegin65

[floridas24]

Not good.

[oscarvaldivieso]

Roberto Alagna es bueno y de lo mejor de la actualidad, eso no esta ni estara en discusion, en lugar de buscar criticas donde solo hay virtudes deberian mas bien tratar de ver mas al detallle el arte de artistas como Kraus, Pavarotti, Distefano, Corelli,

[javiergraciasanchis]

bravoooo, fenómeno!!!!

[estanteriax]

LucianoKraCore, I think Alagna would improve very much whith your lessons (I chek your lessons are in all Alagna's videos). Where is it possible to hear you singing opera? You must be a "master".

[LucianoKraCore]

they have to be actors??. If you think he will improve with ¨my lessons¨ it is because you are an opera singer too??...The ones who didn´t like him singing aida at la scala, are opera singers too??. Se mas inteligente si quieres o mejor dicho si puedes serlo.

[LucianoKraCore]

IF I MUST be a master, you mean he is not??.

[estanteriax]

It is very curious that detesting Alagna so much, you see all his videos so may times only to criticize him fiercely (and give him lessons).

You have opera teacher´s vocation (that´s not bad), but, sorry, you are a bit masochistic also.

Ah, Pavarotti was also booed at la Scala...

[OperaticVoice]

why you compare a legend, a great opera tenor like pavarotti to this singer Algna, I am not in favor of LucianoKraCore, because he is too critic, but some things he is right.

[estanteriax]

Si puedes, intenta ver a Alagna en directo. Yo he tenido la suerte de hacerlo en varias ocasiones y es muy impactante.

[OperaticVoice]

You are so controlled by publicity my friend, then If KraCore is not a singer to say YES, Algana is great, he has to be a teacher?, If KraCore is no a teacher , you mean that Algana is good just for YOUR lessons then?, come on guy , wake up!. Are you a techer then?, is that you whoTaught Alagna to sing without any technique?.You ruined his voice with your lessons irretrievably, how much for your lessons?.

[mauriciomille]

@OperaticVoice who is kraCore?

[tenorebest]

lui.... primo...

[estanteriax]

No sé por qué esta gente que detesta tanto a Alagna ve todos sus videos y luego le pone verde. Yo creo que deben ser tenores celosos bajo seudónimo; si no, no me lo explico, porque ver una y otra vez algo que no te gusta...

[LucianoKraCore]

dolci bacioooooo,,, gola not held, ....when he sings ¨disperaaaaaatooooo¨, the ¨aaa¨ and ¨oooo¨ is gola again, not held ...his last ¨amatooooooooooooooo¨ is awful , that is not a pure operatic sound. He is an ¨ok¨ tenor.

[LucianoKraCore]

Cette interprétation est techniquement mauvaise et il le sait. Aux Chorégies il a sombré dans le "di quella Pira » et au Met son Roméo est médiocre avec des aigus tirés et une voix rigide. Dans une carrière le choix du répertoire est capital.

[LucianoKraCore]

an area Not for Him, bad tecqnique, anyway he tries.

[tosca31]

jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, anyway jealousy.

[Iareto]

I love when people blame everything on "jealousy". It's an opinion, and frankly I too feel that he is really, REALLY light for this heavier stuff (Tosca, Aida etc.). He's a light French tenor and I really feel like he has too nice an instrument to ruin it with stuff that is too heavy for him.

[alvarogm86]

yeah well, everybody agree on that, he's wrecking his voice for singing heavier roles...but this is just ONE aria, really sang beautifully, almost perfect

[lavoreano]

I agree, great singing, and only singing an aria doesn't spoils your voice....

[dollenberg]

I will say right away, I don't think Roberto Alagna is a great tenor and when he sang in May at the Barbican,London, he was most disappointing. I must say though, that he sings this aria beautifully so he is capable of great things. Let's hope he will not continue to sing roles unsuited to his voice.

[SonoPortoricano]

what do you'll mean by 'light tenor'? He sang this one beautifully.

[Iareto]

Just that he's a lighter instrument. It's roles like Cavaradossi and Radames that are totally starting to screw him over. He sings this very well here, but more recently he's not as good.

[genlek]

КРУТО ПОЁТ ! ))))

[tosca31]

great! the fantastic video I was looking for since a while! thank you!

[LucianoKraCore]

Great , are you sure great??...Notice when he is through with this. Molto vibrato...amatoooo tantooooooo lavitaa..bad held..Very tired, out of breath.

[blazindav]

Are you sure? He seems fine to me. I think he's doing it for dramatic affect. I also dont know why alot of vibrato is bad. His vibrato isnt fast or slow. It's between 6 and 7 oscillations per second, just like it should be.

[LucianoKraCore]

He has difficulty with the highs because he doesn´t know how to hold them, he comes from dowm the ¨notes¨ to ¨¨up¨¨¨them¨...<when he says discioglieeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaa­aa, that sound is too open, when he says ¨fugïiiita¨ the ¨iii¨ is pure GOLA not held...throat.

[blazindav]

He sang the high C in che gelida manina, didn't he? I understand if the "golden age" of singing has passed, but it's annoying when all everyone does is shit on "new" tenors.

[estanteriax]

I think with your repeated lessons, Alagna would improv very much. Where is it possible to hear you singing this same area ? It must be an unrepeatable experience.

[LucianoKraCore]

All experiences in life are unrepeatable.

[jukavi]

this is one of the best concerts I ever seen, congratulations from Guadalajara Mexico. you have a very delicate taste in music.

[tenoregrande]

magnifique!!!

[loumanar]

Brilliant!
