What a handsome chap!

Carreras such a beautiful voice. I presume this is one of Anneliese Rothenberger's programmes. Do not slant her. This wonderful singer, here a little older and very late in her career, brought opera to many people. I for one as a youngerster used to watch her programmes and was introduced thus to the world of opera, her singing with other starts like Mario del Monaco, Herman Prey etc. Rotherberger furthermore has help many many young talented singers with their career, giving them exposure .

@Agorante Carreras recovered from Leukemia, and, sang wonderfully after that, but he always tended to open through the passagio.. probrably sounded better to his ears, but it is NOT good vocal technique and it ruins voices.

You don't suppose it had anything to do with leukemia do you? During the marrow treatment he took immune sytem supressors and got fungus growths in this throat. I've noted that people who have mushrooms growing in their larynx tend to sing worse afterwards.

Spare us the passagio BS.

Frau Rothenbergers Tod berührt mich auch nach Monaten noch zutiefst. Umso trauriger bin ich, das es keine Möglichkeit gibt, einmal ihr Grab zu besuchen. Die Verantwortlichen, die sie bestattet haben, geben leider keine Auskunft darüber, wo sich das Grab befindet. Selbst wenn Frau Rothenberger sich eine stille Beisetzung gewünscht hat, ein anonymes Grab war sicher nicht in ihrem Sinn. Sie hat die Menschen geliebt und die Menschen haben sie geliebt. Warum tut man ihr so etwas an?

This is a reminder that Carreras knew how to sing correctly, with the correct closed sounds in the right places, .. but later he decided to open the voice in the passagio, with deleterious effects.. Now he is 63 yrs old and has a hard time singing a high G. Let alone anything above it.. Its a real shame too.

Carreras truly had a gorgeous voice!!!! Not only that but he was handsome too.

May she rest in peace.

I loved her voice - she is surely among the heavenly choir.

Du hast absolut recht ! Ich habe die Rothenberger noch in der alten Met im Rosenkavalier (Lorin Maazel) noch gehört/gesehen. Wir sind mit ihr groß geworden damals ...
