  • Carreras said in his autobiography that it was more important for him to sing the roles that he found challenging than to keep his voice pristine and keep singing the same lyric roles over and over, and therefore be incredibly bored. Besides, he only had until 1987 before leukemia brought his operatic career to a screeching halt. He wanted to sing the heavier roles, despite the risk to his voice. I, for one, and very glad that he did.

  • Brilliant acting, brilliant singing. I struggle to find words to praise this enough.

    Bravo Josep!

  • ah, no.....:)))), i began today with this Carreras aria and it seems, that will take such a time, before i stop today again:))), addictive singer, too.

  • niente da dire su questa interpretazione giovanile

    Carreras resta un tenore lirico, ma molto passionale e con un timbro e colore di voce belli ed inconfondibili

    Si e' sempre detto che aveva difficolta' negli acuti In verita' la voce di carresas era molto unifirme, senza i distacchi nei passaggi di registro che si osservano in molti cantanti

    belle prova come sempre

  • Great....

    

  • @1mane2 como?

  • Muy buena voz. Sin embargo me permito opinar. Algo lenta la interpretación. Y siempre apoyando la voz.

  • @novice1959 it was a sacrifice :)partly, i am grateful. but if he was able to survive leukemia ,he would have surely been able to keep his full voice (but voice problems + first of all leukemia) were probably too much. but he is so very admirable. i love his edgardo, alvaro.... Without leukemia he would have managed everything. i think leukemia is to blame and we should be grateful he is still able to sing and that he survived. it was such a luck.

  • how he acts. the pain in his face is so believable...

  • @donatello1 yes, very interesting cut.. probably because of the directorial concept here of having him be in Lucia's chambers. Sounds weird though.

  • Sounds pretty Damn good to me,and looks pretty damn good too.

  • he made me cry when i heard him sing the final scene in aida today
