Es una hermosa canción, y es la primera vez que la escucho con El Señor Alfredo kRAUS.

Me parece una magnifica interpretación.

Saludos desde Acapulco, Guerrero, México.

semplicemente fantastico! un semitono sopra all'originale per evitare il fa#! Un mostro della tecnica.

[emeric1952]

Wonderfull version.

Non solo i colori e il legato impreziosiscono il fraseggio di Kraus ma la dinamica. Con il dominio magistrale dei fiati sa smorzare o amplificare i suoni magistralmente: ai fini stilistici e interpretativi.

Ritengo da sempre che Alfredo Kraus il meglio dei tenori da concerto.

Bravissimo

Dear Pollione88,

I think you said it very well indeed.

A performing artist confident in his understanding of the work knows that he has plenty of challenges just developing the full potential of the work as written.

He feels no compulsion to gild the lily, or as they say in China, add legs to a painting of a snake!

[Pollione88]

You really hit the nail on the head with your observation. Initially, there's nothing flashy about Kraus's singing. No mannerisms, instead he gets directly to the core of the music and brings out the meaning in a very pure way. He lets the music speak for itself and doesn't add anything unneccessary. The reason why mannerisms exist imo is when the artist feels subconsciously that he doesn't understand the material well enough and has to substitute something flashy instead to cover it up.

That is indeed unfortunate! I can't imagine a voice like Kraus' being ignored for further pubication in the least form as a Special CD! This one man's elegance (courage) will stand him in such goodstead that I wonder why some group doesn't buy up these fallow rights and after due process offer the family holding the rights sufficient consideration as to bring Alfredo Kraus to us on a Special CD.

[blakemooney]

I agree and suggest that most opera lovers or just plain "fans" have built their opera and "operatic hit" bases on the best versions of arias they happen upon as they move through their particular world. Someone isolated on a small island in the N. Atlantic or somewhere in the Tropics can hardly run out and buy a ticket to a top opera house. Neither can the majority of others but all of us can isolate our budgets enough to save and send off something we've heard only once. Good for us!

Dear blakemooney,

I agree. Kraus was amazing.

I am a lifelong opera buff. but I am not a "fan" of particular individual.

Each of the opera greats are better at certain arias than others. None is "the best" every time.

But Kraus is remarkable for the number of arias that he interprets more intelligently than others.

He really grasps, then communicates the content of both the melody and lyrics.

By the way, it's a shame the album this selection is from is out of print.
