@TacticalCitySlicker... Actually they're spanish subs... -_-

[TacticalCitySlicker]

Lo siento, pero yo no veo nada fuera de lo ordinario para Plácido Domingo en este vídeo. Lo único distinto es que claramente evita las líneas alargadas de "Ridi pagliaccio sull tuo amore infranto", sin embargo la colocación es la misma de siempre, la fuerza es la misma y la pasión vocal es la misma. Aquellos que intentan descalificar la calida vocal de un hombre de 69 años, desconocen que la madurez vocal aunada a la técnica se hace mejor con el paso de los años y Plácido aquí lo demuestra.

[catd1973]

No hay duda, la lección es hay que reír aunque te este llevando la chingada!!!!!, la vida continúa pase lo que te pase.

[31operafan]

69 years old now and Placido's voice is still badass. 

[pavarottithebest]

All'età di 57 anni era già un'impresa cantare quest'aria!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIDIMENSIONIAMOLOOOOOOOOOOO!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[Pagliaccio1970]

I agree "apricotlush" not bad for 57 years of age....i'm not a great fan of Domingo, but i think it's always important to remember his great contribution to the art form.

[sopranosd]

Is this during the time Domingo was having some vocal problems and had to relearn his technique ? He sounds a little strangled, esp. in the high range. I don't think it's age, since opera singers can sing beautifully well into their later years, as Domingo has done, since they actually have technique and don't just blast their cords all to hell. I do love his acting in this role. 

[numerodificil]

creo que no se puede comparar ni a pavarotti ni a Domingo, ambos son excelentes y sus voces de colores tototalmente diferentes. hay muchos tanos que quieren mas a pavarotti solo por el hecho de la nacionalidad. pero placido es un monstruo con un don de interpretacion maravilloso.bravo !!!!

[lucyllebalth80]

Quanta rabbia e disperazione.... Che voce spezzata... PLACIDO TI ADORO!!!!

[shorycal]

hey es un digno expocitor de tan bella cancion claro i think its no the same than pavarotti is but he doing well

[MCastillo9]

he is old . so not that much breath

[yolyslo]

Domingo.....Pavarotti..... maravillosos!!!

[Doooku]

the Voice of Constipation!

Period.

[comohace]

El volverse viejo lo mejor que le pudo suceder, tanto a Domingo y a Pavarotti, para interpretar esta aria, no olviden que Leoncavallo presenta a un viejo, a uno que le están robando la mujer porque él ya no da el ancho, más que desfondarse en gritos de potente juventud, la frase Ridi, Pagliaccio, sul tuo amore infranto! debe cantarse con una especie de llanto, como un grito desgarrado que ni siquiera tenga buena pronunciación, tal y como sucede cuando a uno se lo está llevando la chingada.

[AztecWagnerFan]

@comohace jaja, exacto compa.

[LordMgls]

PONS!!!!!

[whity72]

Damn, he became old, not half the length in the difficult phrases nor the intensity we are used from the decades before. Same as the late Pavarotti, a pure shadow of himself. :o/

[guyintightsman]

Don't Get me wrong Domingo is incredible! but i just preffer Pavarotti's voice and phrasing. It's just a personal thing. As far as talent tho I hold them both equal.

[italianopellicanoita]

horrible the best is italian bocelli and pavarotti placido domingo ponte a cantar musica latina mejor

[coralrabida]

bocelli?? y Pavarotti, que era un lírico cantando pagliacci mejor que Domingo?

Anda, aprenda un poco antes y luego comente.

[italianopellicanoita]

boceeli pavarotti es musica italiana no digas incuerencias por favor le tienen envidia alos italianos placido no tiene carisma ni la voz de bocelli y pavarotti aprenda tu latino o español me vas a enseñar ami italiano que vivo en milan la ciudad de la opera no seas flacido

[coralrabida]

Pero qué tiene que ver el ser italiano?

a ver, no quiero entrar en una discusión, pero no tienes ni idea de ópera, o tienes un retraso mental que te impide hacer razonamientos lógicos.

[AL22OTERO]

bravo !!

[BOCASSANAS]

Con 20 años menos , represento esta obra en Tokio con una fuerza nunca vista , este personaje lo borda.

[Wavecorpuscle]

Siempre me ha gustado más Plácido Domingo en esta aria que Pavarotti, quizá porque fué la primera representación a la que acudí, cuando sólo tenía trece años...

[uphoyaax]

totalmente de acuerdo, pavarotti era bueno, pero domingo hace que sientas al personaje; personalmente me gusta aun mas la representacion del Teatro Alla Scala, Milan

[todosalamierda]

Muy de acuerdo! La version de Pavarotti es buena, pero fisicamente me parece un tipo mas "contenido", mas austero en su expresion fisica, no asi Domingo.....

Adoro esta Aria.

[italianopellicanoita]

jajajajajajajaajajaa

jajajajaajajajajajaja

flacido domingo es un español gitano

pavarotti es italiano y el mejor no tengais envidia

[Wavecorpuscle]

No creo que se trate de dónde es originario cada uno, y más teniendo en cuenta que Plácido pasó gran parte de su vida en Méjico. Sinó lo que aquí comentábamos era cómo interpretaban Plácido y Pavarotti esta aria en concreto... No se trata de establecer de quién es el mejor -yo no tengo capacidad para ello-, sinó de quién nos gusta más... Ciao!

[Javiersamano]

creo que el hecho de poner a placido domingo en la misa conversacion que ponemos a pavarotti ya es estar en un nivel muy bueno no crees?

jeje geniales los 2

en pagliacci mi favorito es domingo

en il trovatore es pavarotti

cads quien a lo sullo

tal vez te gusten mis videos chekalos

[Wavecorpuscle]

Muchas gracias Javier acepto con gusta tu invitación.

Además estoy de acuerdo con la apreciación que has hecho sobre il trovatore y Pavarotti.

Un abrazo!

[claudiashina]

placido es el mejor viva viva viva

de alguien que fue al instituto mexico primaria

[phbernardi]

Absolutely stunning!

[Veggieman87]

Surprisingly, the Spanish subtitles help me understand the Italian. Viva Domingo!

[castoro83]

i'm italian, and they have help me too to understand what he was singing ahahah!!!! :s

[jairbelmont]

Viva Domingo!!!! the best of all the times!!!

[italianopellicanoita]

the best jaja

[searnold56]

this tempo is outrageously fast but domingo sings the piss out of it

[meriomeri]

lol

[alvarogm86]

Parece agitado Domingo aca. Grande Juan Pons!

[cristiansenmillus]

Adoro a interpretação dele!

[DerMetzger]

I feel that his version from 78 tops this, but still being able to have that much power in your voice 20 years later is amazing.

Prego!

[fernanditosalsa]

krusty lo hizo mejor

[EduardMagnolia]

I also saw the Celeste Aida video!!! :)))) Hahahahahaha! OMG! OettingerCroat, are you serious?! :D

[apricotlush]

Hahahahaha! I saw the "Michael Bolton-Celeste Aida" video. Everyone, please, you must search for "Florence Foster Jenkins" on Youtube and listen to her Mozart. It's even more incredible!  :)

[ConservatoryPianist]

Maestro! Please come and sing at the Bolshoi Zal at the Moscow Conservatory!! Kremlin tickets (some of them) are more expensive than the 1 month's salary of a Moscow Conservatory professor and it's inhumane to come to Moscow and students cannot afford to hear you!

[jameskktuesday]

I agree as well. Really, well put. Bravo, Maestro!

[solemnnote]

I completely agree. Please don't forget his decades of incredible hard work, endurance, professionalism, and dedication! The Maestro's voice may be older, it is still beautiful and his musicality is shining from his experience, wisdom, and character.

[mikhailvoskresensky]

Well said!! The Maestro deserves every honour and good words until his death! I doubt that the person who wrote "his prime ended in 1994-1996" will EVER be able to sing as beautifully and musically as Domingo, when the Maestro turns 95 or even 100! How can you say such a thing, if your own prime will never even touch Domingo's worst? Shame on you!

[apricotlush]

Just because he has become old, people, DON'T GIVE HIM A LOWER RATING!! The maestro still sings wonderfully, and give him some credit for the decades of amazing performances!

[ConservatoryPianist]

Well said!! I completely agree.

[kamikazekate]

Look at his 1978 or his 81 or 83. Listen and learn if you are in the business.

[kamikazekate]

Did someone say domingo did not have a great technique?? all i can say to that is LOL. Listen to sing in a tessitura that was not natural to him for more than 40 years says to me tremendous technique, unless of course you have some other explanation. And also this rendition of vesti has to be twice as good as any tenor who is singing it nowadays! As domingo got older he tailored his acting on this part to suit his age. An old old man would feel this bad!!

[pandus1551]

over acting anyone?

[type2mike]

I guess every industry needs a William Shatner. To some Domingo is considered the Shatner of Opera.

[ConservatoryPianist]

No.

[chinesecrow]

i like more the one with pavarotti...

dunnow why i think he make it more emotional....T_T

[songsofscarlet]

Never had good technique, has a beautiful voice, but can sing because he is strong as an OX!!! And man can he do business... best opera business man ever, really knew how to sell himself!!!

[alex879999]

Not bad, but not good, but with almost 60 years, more than one tenor would want to sing like Placido.

[OettingerCroat]

considering he'd already exited his prime here (IMO domingo's prime ended in 1994-1996), this is an amazing performance

[dbeale]

but she's so hot....
