it is a very surprise for carreras fans!

Carreras? Otello? This is great! Of course he shouldn't be singing this role, but he sounds great!

@lastofdmelocchians Actually, in 1987 he was already wobbling. It's just that this particular duet is lyrical so you don't hear the wobble as much. You want to hear wobble, see the video of Carmen with Baltsa a year earlier...the final duet....

Singing stuff like this screwed his voice up not the illness:( Yeah, he sounds pretty. But, the way he's doin' it ain't correct! Hitting the notes & singin' 'em pretty ain't all what it's about. He needs 2 use a totally different technique! Youth is how he's gettin' away w/it here:) Listen 2 how each note he holds that's up there is widening already...what's 2 come is wobbling(if it isn't already!) Most important, there's no METAL in his voice:( How's it done right? Click on Cecchele & listen:)!

Carreras singing Otello... It seems a joke... wobby and weak...............!! M. Caballe is singing her own text... terrible.

I have the DVDs of Andrea Chenier and Turandot with Carreras and he sings magnificently. Chenier's L'Improvviso is so passionate, I feel the Chenier's and anger for the downtrodden and have cried listening. And as always his acting is entrancing. The costumes and staging of Turandot in the DVD is the the most spectacular of any performance I've ever seen. The director, costume and set designers -if there were such rewards - would have won academy awards each.

Nice comment... Real....

Très étonnant de voir ce petit jeune homme avec ce magnifique timbre dans les graves. Mais Montserrat comme d'habitude n'a pas bien appris son texte !!!

C'est flagrant qd-mm. T'es bbbbbbooooooooo JOSE. BRAVO JOSE.

those singers soon or later will pay off to step outside their voices capability, Domingo, Caballé, Carreras, Callas and some other are a good example of that. Fantastic gifted singers with very bad choise of repertory, however I as singer understand the temptation of singers a mixtered roles but the voice shows decline if you do so. They have all done a good job though.
