  • How wonderful to hear sung this with a full, beautiful voice instead of treating the aria like a delicate egg wrapped in gauze. No, perhaps not "authentic" baroque style (and a couple of low notes more "growled" than sung), but exquisite artistry and interpretation. Beautiful.

  • I have to add to some of the comments about style and use of legato. This is a difficult piece for the Tenor voice as it was originally written for a castrato. A castrato does not have to be concerned with singing in and out of the passaggio, which the tessitura of this piece sits. Caruso, Gigli, Del Monaco, all sing in this in the operatic tradition and I see nothing wrong with that. This is the only way for the Tenor voice to negotiate the piece. We as astute listeners, must be more forgiving.

  • @qwertyoop please dont say that or they will kill you. They tried to burn me alive when I said that. lol

  • @Desideria7 I want to cry now

  • @RonaldBarone Did somebody tell you that you are related to the biggest idiots in he world? If not I am happy to be the first. And I hope you don't have children.

  • @Nello7 PARA MI LA VERDAD FUE UNA INTERPRETACION ORIGINAL Y BASTANTE BUENA, YO SOY BAJO BARITONO Y LA QUIERO CANTAR EN MI EXAMEN DE ADMICION A LA FACULTAD DE MUSICA! JAJA

  • @sidelis vedasi anche il suo gran maestro Placido Domingo!

  • L'apologia del contrario! Dalle spalle in su è completamente rigido, totalmente spoggiato. Ingola in modo sontuoso senza alcuno scrupolo e senza incertezze. Come non si canta ovvero come si può fare una meravigliosa carriera senza saper cantare.

  • is he related with Bartoli? OMG those faces lol.... you can scare a child telling the kid this dude will be under the bed if the kid doesnt eat all the veggies lol

  • @sharky123 Gigli, Pinza and others have a more forthright vocal line on the whole and a consequent ring to the voice. Villazon sometimes seems to me to try so hard to colour that the placement of the voice has subtle shifts.

  • male cat

  • me parece una version muy interesante no se puede negar su calidad pero este tipo de arias no son adecuadas para Rolando Villazon ya que su estilo o color de voz no se acopla del todo con este tipo de repertorio creo que es esta aria con un buen tenor ligero seria fantastica.
