  • I saw him sing Valentin at the Met and it was AMAZING. I later got a recording and it helped me get through labor contractions when I gave birth last week! So that should be considered a rave review.

  • Just Spectacular!!!!! BRAVO!

  • @sebastianpellegrene exactly

    

  • WOW. How can you not help from crying when hearing this man sing and this aria?

    God's gift to us.

  • A great instrument and talent; amazingly handsome and fit for what has become a visual art more than ever, but his technique has slipped. He is pushing and his breath is very audible, showing he is on the bottom, not on top in the giro. If he goes on like this he will develop physical problems. Compare his technique when younger. Pavarotti followed the same path. Even so he is wonderful.

  • Wonderful! He's singing this part again at Covent Garden in September 2011. Good luck to those who can get there!!

  • Best version Ive ever heard, better than thomas allens

  • Молодец !!!

  • Of course anyone could sing like this if they didn't have to breathe. I think those evil Russian scientists must have grafted in a third lung for him.

    Even Lisitsian didn't have this much breath.

  • @browbrandon fair enough haha. could you do me the favor of naming me some? I'm a young baritone in training, new to the opera/ classical vocal scene and am always looking for inspiration. Right now my favorite has to be Schlusnus, but he's not known for opera and thats what my teacher is mostly teaching through now, aside from TONS of vocalizes and exercises of course haha (that's why I looked up this video, I just started working on Avant de... at my last lesson)

  • @Wally773MTG I honestly believe he was really great when he was younger, but now, he's got the baritone bark and has lost a lot of what he had...I definitely don't think he could be compared to Jesus though...there are better baritones
