  • @pepeelsordo Perhaps you should listen to the difference between the real tenor Alagna and Hampson. Hampson is not the thick-voiced baritone that we usually hear. Unfortunately a lot of those sing this scene without only any nuance.

  • isn't this role supposed to be written for a baritone?

    this singer has a beautiful tenor voice,

  • Wasn't the libretto of Don Carlo originally in French?

  • It is tres politics: Flanders is conquered by Spanish, it is necessary to decide on its future, the constraint and the payment of the debts (it is the vision of the former and the inquisitors) or the reconstruction economique (it is the bet of the modernists of which Posa and Don Carlos) BUT, king is low, he will be allowed treate by the inquisitors! VERDI express his opinion has the end of the final act, by bringing in the father of king Philippe 2, Emperor Charles 5, going out of the grave

  • c'est tres politique : la flandre est conquise par les espagnols, il faut décider de son avenir, la contrainte et le paiement des dettes (c'est la vision des anciens et des inquisiteurs) ou la reconstruction et la relance economique (c'est le pari des modernistes dont Posa et Don Carlos) MAIS, le roi est faible, il se laissera manipulé par les inquisiteurs ! VERDI donne son avis a la fin du dernier acte, en faisant intervenir le père du roi Philippe 2, l'Empereur Charles 5, sortant du tombeau

  • HA, le voila notre Ami eternel le plus pur : depuis tand d'années que je cherche cette version de mon Don Carlos préféré, vue sur la chaine de télé Arte en 1996 !

  • @beltenore E vero

  • Quelle belle interprétation! Je dois dire que, malgré mon préjugé, Thomas Hampson et Roberto Alagna sont un duo idéal pour Rodrigue et Don Carlos. Ils ont si bien montré l'amitié entre ces 2 hommes, qu'en ayant découvert cette vidéo, je le trouve difficile d'aimer les autres versions autant.

  • I bought the DVD and I see frequently. For me the better Rodrigo!
