Is this from the Ernani DVD from the Met, with Raimondi and Pavarotti etc.?

@TommyHaegin

yes its from that DVD

glad to see this reposted. but what I'd really like is the rendition found on the "Decca: Grandi Voci" series CD that Milnes made but which is unfortunately long out of print and near impossible to find. It includes this aria from much earlier in Milnes career and I'm sure he'd be in better vocal form.

@ShawDAMAN

you might still find those records on Amazon.

Today (Feb 25, 2012) I watched The Met's live HD broadcast of Ernani with Dmitri Hvorostovsky as Don Carlo. I love Dmitri. He's gorgeous and has a voice like buttah. But Sherrill Miles has been, and will always be, the best, most fantastic Verdi baritone. He rocked this piece. Dmitri did well today, but wobbled quite a bit, and didn't reach Milnes last high note.

You have to feel sorry for MIlnes in this aria. The placement of those top notes is all screwed up producing a woofy sound instead of the biting, clear ring he had in his youth.

I had to listen to this a second time as it just blew me away! I have modeled my own upper register and top-note vowel sounds on the way Milnes created his and found that I too could sing them with ease after doing so and so owe him a lot! I don't believe there has been a Verdi baritone in the 20th century quite as electrifying as this man and that includes Bastianini, Warren and Merrill and all the others. BRAVISSIMO!

@dirtbag719 You might enjoy Jason Stearns's rendition of this aria on You Tube.

Check it out.

Nulla da dire:Bravo!!!!

A complete stunning performance with the very taxing ending with complete and utter masculinity. Milnes as THE Verdibaritone of his generation.

[thomassmile]

I think he' brilliant and passionate here :) magnificent i might add :) great great piece of music !!

[dirtbag719]

I wish today's baritones were undergoing a "vocal crisis" like Milnes supposedly was having around this time. He was truly great! I was there for this performance and I remember it very well. The place went nuts, myself included. Does anyone have this from the beginning of the act? It used to be here but apparently no more. Bravo, Maestro Milnes!!
