It's awesome and almost cry me.

[juandavid1969]

Descansa en paz maestro Salvatore Licitra, gran hombre y gran tenor, gracias por el mensaje de tu canto, por tu profesionalismo, por tu humanidad artística y personal, por tu paso musical por este planeta, ahora ya estás al lado del Señor y tu voz quedará por siempre en nuestros corazones, Dios te bendiga por siempre Salvatore Licitra, te extrañaremos y te evocaremos...

[condessadetavaredo]

Marcelo eres fantastico !!!

[elvischen2009]

RIP Salvatore Licitra

[samsarahmail]

what a tremendous loss.... I am heart broken rest in Peace, Salvatore..

[promopera]

we will miss you so much Salvatore

[marydipas]

meravigliosi..........le loro voci unite creano un'atmosfera calda e dolcissima

[VonRog]

Let's not foget them all brother, but appreciate them. We dream of being able to sing like angles, but just a few stir our emotions. Simply bow your head and listen.

[bpicaud1]

Très beaux timbres mais tous ces ténors semblent se livrer à un concours de double-menton, ce qui n'est pas des plus sexy. Kraus, Carreras ou Arragal ont su garder la ligne toute leur carrière, ce qui les rendait plus crédibles quand ils chantaient les jeunes enamourés !

[NellyBoogan]

Both are good, but Marcelo Alvarez has a much better vocal sound quality than does Licitra.

[dg6da]

Licitra is just a bad singer, a shame...

[DerHoelleRache13]

Every time I hear this song, it brings tears to my eyes! So beautiful!

[Alguienteamaahora]

Amo la música y todo el arte y de hecho soy artista, pero... pienso en que a veces el ser humano para acercar si o si a la obra de arte a la humanidad no vacila en cambiar muchas veces el sentido principal de una creación artística... Creo que estas voces si son bellas, pero Rachmaninov concibió esta melodía con una belleza suprema, exenta de la palabra y así debería permanecer...

[SusieLee09]

This was well done by young men who are each at their best. Very glad it was recorded!

[daytripperarrabal]

I love that i saw this yesterday in Classic Arts Showcase...

[rodopepe65]

Alguien podría ayudarme con la letra de esta bella canción? He buscado por todas partes y no encuentro la letra. No hablo casi nada de italiano

[Blackbird1616]

love how most of the commenters are italians! represent! =) love italy so much and secretly love opera......i admit it.....embarassing i know but they truely have talent....=)

[franz0woyzeck]

I am studying the space age for my PhD and I always think of this song. Licitra and Alvarez were beautiful.

[KILLERADVICE]

Beautiful... Nice voices!

[cely132]

¡Mágnifica voz!

Cely

[sandhas1]

Forget all the Tenors and il Divo, these guys are the real deal!

[bodiloto]

Bravi, che bello,evviva la musica leggera !

[AleBro83]

@bodiloto che tristezza carissimo bodiloto avere la consapevolezza di non poter più ascoltare un vero artista. Saluti

[ribaudoassociates]

Beautiful. Another divine memo. God exists.

[EutuveX]

@ribaudoassociates

so does Peter Pan !

[lianalansing]

I don't know who wrote the middle part of this--it wasn't'' RAchmaninoff. As far as capturing the original feeling of Vocalize, I prefer Marco's more restrained, bel-canto, to Licitra's Italianate rendering. Listen to Kiri, or the violinists for the real music and feeling!!!

[Englishtenor2]

Ah, I've been waiting for a video of these two for ages! Considering how many concerts they've done together it's incredible there isn't loads of footage. And yes, Alvarez is a better singer than Licitra, but they work great together! Also, does anyone else think Licitra looks like Philip Seymour Hoffman in profile?

[fwitvliet]

crab, it's all nitpicking. Who are you you critisize. Did you ever perform. most probably not. So shut up.

[Englishtenor2]

Wow! You really must be fabulously insecure. I actually LIKE it! And you still find things to hate! And yes, I do know about stage work as I sing on one or the other at least two nights a week...

[tappslvr]

Lecitera has an angelic voice. I love him!!! Especially when he sais volera so soothing to my soul. hes like a breath of fresh air. All the songs he sings so gracefully, effortless.

[fwitvliet]

Crab. its expression that counts dear.

[lianalansing]

Licitra isn't that bad, but sounds pretty amateur when compared with Alvarez. Yes, they both use their diaphragms! (so do you, or you wouldn't be alive!)

[fwitvliet]

Where were you the last 20 years?

[Kyvolsfan73]

Does anybody have the text for this piece?

[dalferr]

Beautiful, although I don't understand too much of music, but it was very very very pleasant to my senses. Thank you for the video, pisanodemorat.

[LucianoKraCore]

Salvatore Licitra is not an operatic voice, he desn´t have the vocal capacity for singing opera, it is just publicity now days, how bad it is that opera houses allow some singers to perform opera.He has an atrocious tecqnique,he is ok with this ¨piece of a cake songs¨, but not opera please..Marcelo Alvarez is more than OK singing this and some operas.

[ivancrasci]

you wrong luciano, Salvatore is a great singer with a beautiful voice, he is just fantastic, see him in person and you will change opinion..peace, :)

[RavynneRune]

Not everyone can be a Pavoratti. You should really be more accepting of other people's methods. If the way Opera was done didn't change then it would have died out years ago. Be happy the so called wicked 'publicity' has kept the art form alive! :)

[skunk0z]

Luciano, you are the only one between these comments that say the truth! You're right! Licitra is not an opera singer because he doesn't have the good technique to make an opera. I have seen Alvarez and many other tenors in theatre here in Florence and I can say with high voice that NOWADAYS, ALVAREZ IS THE BEST TENOR in the world because he's more complete than other ones! Great Marcelo!

[manolosmx]

terrible singing

[ritawkfong]

Really? I think they have great voices.

[fvw41245]

is five cents better for you?

[jorjikia]

yes salvatore has just a good voice and also marcelo!but they ar'nt ramon vargas!!!who really sings!!!he is the best today with juan diego florez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[belcantomania]

bravi bravi bravi!Belle voci mediterranee,morbide,rotonde,a­eree...molto bene

[AlexiaMort]

Mas que coisa maravilhosa!!!!!.....

Vozes divinas...*.*

E Salvatore Licitra tb é um belíssimo homem.

[AntonyBA1983]

is the oltre la tempresta video on here????

[sevenevanheaven]

Flopardo......heh heh This Salvatore is doing Un Ballo in April. Sounds damned good here.

[tappslvr]

Salvatore Licitra has an angelic voice especially when he says volera he's the best.

[tappslvr]

im so in love with Salvatore

Licitra!!!

[flopardo]

I thought Abott and Costello died years ago. Get the hook!!!!!!!!!!!

[josepvv]

hermoso :D

me encanta(L)

ese mismo día salió el fantasma de la ópera, no lo tienes?(L) lo amaría en esa versión

[4strav]

povero licitra !! me parece que va a reventar !!

[Saipakora]

Excelente, Alvarez... excelente!!!

[memmey]

Licitra does have IT, I think I can hear it in his voice. The darkenss is there but he needs the power. His diction is right and he has an elegant way without looking clownish...I wonder...he's worth watching.

[barbaflink]

A beautiful voice and a beautiful man!!!!

[frenchyfrench]

Licitra has always a lack of imagination but here the voice has a nice colour. Alvarez is superb.

[scarpia1965]

Salvatore ist so sweet!

[ivancrasci]

salvatore sei il migliore dell`opera..best of opera!!great opening of song,beautiful voice,and strong talent!!

[NEMORINO1976]

Are you a relative?

[ivancrasci]

yeah is good friend mine..

[sandhas1]

beautiful wonderful

[gacija]

marcelo is awesome!

[marcelissimo]

Click on my name and find 66 videos with Marcelo on my playlist and my website for him.

[hobo197]

omg...not beautiful!!!!

[QuitandRun]

I am a classically trained singer & think this is performed beautifully! Alvarez sings better but Licitra also sings well. The diafragm from what i can hear and see is used by both. Well done!

[nemehazzam]

neither one of them sings with voice. Its the lament of the "POVERINI"

[mwhh2001]

omg... beautiful!!!!

[cvmostert]

does he use his diafragm?

[greattenors]

I think Licitra was sick (normally with antibiotics the sensation of the body and especially the diaphragm collapse). It is impossible for a tenor of this caliber to sing that bad. Marcelo was superb.

[Blackbird1616]

@cvmostert yes he does use his diafragm thats how they can get there powerful voices to travel

[caedmon211]

bautiful... with so much feeling and expression!
