From Bellini's opera "I Capuletti e I Montecchi", Jaume Aragall sings the role of Romeo, often given to a mezzosoprano. Sings the Romeo aria and cavaletta from the 1st act. Luciano Pavarotti is Tebaldo, and the conductor is Claudio Abbado.

Adding to my orginial comment: I originally got this recording to listen to Pavarotti, but ended up falling in love more with Aragall's voice. Too bad there are so few recordings of Aragall in his absolute prime.

I could not agree more with Imspr, this is the best recording of this opera I have ever heard, I love this CD. Even the best mezzos don't make it for me in this opera. Pitting two great tenors against each other was brilliant and the control of Abbado shows.

aragall mi stupisce in queste interpretazioni giovanili di Bellini,aveva una voce belliniana e donizettiana, si veda la splendido angelo casto e bel del duca d'alba,poi ha virato nel repertorio verso verdi puccini etc, secondo me non con la stessa efficacia

Magnificent - what an exquisite voice!

Tenore dal timbro bellissimo, morbido, duttile, emozionante...non ha avuto il successo che meritavano le sue doti.

I had the Faust he recorded back in the 1970's. The best Faust I've ever heard!

Aragall sang it splendidly. Bravo Jaime! My favorite Romeo ever!

[esclarmonde1]

This is how a lyric tenor should sound. The most beautiful tenor voice ever. Bravo Giacomo.

I could not agree with you more. I did exactly the same thing!!!
