Possibly the greatest rendition of this aria you will ever hear in your entire life.
Jadlowker was a dramatic coloratura tenor. Listen particularly for his endless breath, his superb trills, and his effortless coloratura.
This aria is sung in German, and is actually "Noch tönt mir ein Meer im Busen"
Enjoy! (Apologies for the noise in the video)
It seems few have sung this tough aria and he seems to be the Best at it. When Mozart wrote it a tenor at that time is said to have done it well but of course who knows? No recordings!

@65attila Yes I read that also--- Rico and friends where giving him loud long Bravo's and where told about it. I kind of find it doubtful if they actually would ask their greatest tenor to leave! That would be dumb PR work, probably done by some silly young usher who didn't recognize Caruso! Shame on him.

What I find is so outstanding is also his ability with trill's and cadenza's that are the best compared to any other Spinto tenor. In order to beat his cadenza's/Trills you would have to go to Schmidt with his much lighter lyric tenor making it easier. Wagner never hurt Jadlowker's voice, he was never was a light lyric tenor, always had that Spinto sound. After he was done with opera he went back to Cantorial singing as he was a Cantor but I can't find a thing with his cantorial singing.

This is real fioratura, note the seamless legato line, while at the same time keeping the clarity of the individual notes. The choppy singing tenors today try to pass off as coloratura is fakery.

In the version I read, Rico was tossed out of the MET for continuing to shout Bravos for HJ.

Caruso went to the Met with friends, heard Jadlowker and was heard yelling Bravo for Jadlowker! Caruso was also a fan of some noted Cantors.

Glad this is on post cause the other post of it with Jadlowker was removed for some copyright thing.. He sang later as a cantor again as he did early and really sang it all, the heavy roles did not hurt his voice it seems as it had become a darker spinto. He sang it all and his Rossini Ecco Ridente was terrific also. Even early he had the technique from his Cantorial training also. He only made about 6 electric recordings or about 12 arias but many recordings exist before that.

THIS JEW COULD SING! I say that slightly tongue in cheek, of course, since I am also a Jew. ;)

vero, pavarotti canta la versione semplificata. Ma per ascoltare tutti gli abbellimenti bisogna ricorrere all'incisione di Blake.

The clarity of those runs and trills is unbelievable. He didn't the best vocal placement but the agility and versatility of his voice was equaled by none.
