Roberto Alagna sings this aria of love and desire from I Lombardi, Act II, Claudio Abbado conducting the Berliner Philharmoniker. Verdi later rewrote this aria for the Paris Opera as "Je veux encor entendre". The role was made larger, and a high C was added (evidently not usual in Verdi) specifically for the opera's leading tenor, Gilbert Duprez. You can see Roberto Alagna performing this aria on YT as well (en francais). The slideshow features some of Alagna's most famous roles Romeo, Rodolfo in "la Boheme" , Don Jose in "Carmen", Ruggero in "La Rondine", Faust, Il Duca in "Rigoletto", Mario in "Tosca", Turiddu in "Cavalleria Rusticana", Nemorino in "L'Elisir d'Amore", Des Grieux in "Manon" and Manrico in "Il Trovatore".

  • If you had read my notes, you would have seen that Verdi wrote this aria for "I Lombardi" with no high C, and then another one for the Paris Opera "Je veux entendre encore" which was expanded, with a high C. It is laughable that you think that Alagna had no high C... Listen to him on You Tube in Lucie di Lammermoor. where he hits a D sharp...
