I checked out Raimondi and Tezier as recommended. I did notice that D'Arcangelo's French has a little Italian accent. It doesn't seem bad enough to detract from the performance. I did not notice sharpness in his lower notes, but in an age of studios fixing every flaw, slight human imperfections let you know you're hearing a live performance. Bottom line, D'Arcangelo's voice is fantastic and the others lack presence compared to him on the stage. Masculinity counts in this role!
Opera Australia's version pf Zambello's Carmen was ALOT better... apart from Kuafman of course. You really need a Bass to sing this role... Shane Lowrencev is a name to look out for!
Hm. I don't really like his Escamillo. Somehow out of tune... I think... but the staging is cool. His entrance with the horse... unexpected! The high note at 0:55 is very weak. Not loud and strong, as I would have it expected to be... and his french accent is not very accurate, as far as I can tell. Certainly a good singer, but not a good Escamillo.
I quite agree with you. Curiously enough, the low notes are out of tune (toot high) and his french sounds very italian to my franch ear.Escamillo is difficult to cast : too high for basses too low for Verdi Baritones. The right voices is... the french baritone : Robert Massard, Ernest Blanc, Gabriel Bacquier or today Ludovic Tezier or Marc Barrard. They're all on You Tube in this aria. Listen to them.
I will listen to them soon, but until I haven't heard them, I believe Ruggero Raimondi to be my favourite Escamillo and also my favourite bass-baritone. I very much like his interpretation of Escamillo, you should certainly listen to him singing this aria if you haven't heard it already. He is a very talented singer with a beautiful voice.
I listened to him yesterday, he was handsome, masculine, can jump up and down.... audience like him his singing was nice in general, but a little bit unstable on pitch. The stars last night was still Carmen and Don Jose, which is reasonable. He didn't steal the performance.
Well, for fans there is no possibility to accept any remarks.. He most certainly has more potential in this role. The question is if he is the kind of singer who will accept any remarks... Not knowing him, I don't know. With best intentions, I wish him to become even more than he is now in this role.
