Bulent is really one of the finest lyric tenors around currently with Florez and calleja imho. i have been watching more of his performances.. the appoggio is almost perfect..barely anyone sings high notes so properly now.. and the timbre is beautiful.

Bravo: A really clear easy tenor voice with a sweet tone. Good stage presence and easy movement. This young man could have a major career since the voice will get bigger with maturity.

Manque un peu d'épaisseur mais charmant.

great voice, not a great actor :/

@drewski67 Lucia de Lamermur or something. That's where Bulent Bezduz does a high Eb. Its on youtube somewhere. I was just without my morning coffee when I started this. I would have deleted my bitchy remarks if I could.

@drewski67 My cousin is a recording engineer for twenty years now and I know from him. It's done sometimes. An aria is played or recorded a step or a whole step down to accomodate the singer. Plus I know that the human voice is an incredible delicate instrument and some seasons the voice simply is not there. No one is an exception. That's why I guess I was trying to be a detective here.

@MrKiliev I'm disappointed a man of your intellect wouldn't have taken into account dated audio played at different speeds and therefore, sounding like different notes. Many of these were live recordings and the audio is a little funky. Some of them were intended as different notes (Caruso, Domingo, Alagna, all singing Bs) Bjorling sings a higher pitch because he very often sharps (some say forced emission, others say a conscious attempt to cut through the think texture of the orchestra)

@MrKiliev I appreciate you being mature enough to admit when you're wrong, but I don't get where the D-Eb is coming from. Original version?? Tenors have been known to sing the aria (and sometimes the whole scena) down a half step, but you mentioned UP a half step?? No tenor would ever transpose this aria higher than the original key. Yes, Bezduz sings the E-flat in 'Lucia' as written. VERY few tenors do it though.

@drewski67 Well - taking my words back - looked up the score - the aria is in D-flat and that dolce speranza is a modulation on the Double Dominant to Dominant - Bb 7/9 -> Eb - so it has to be a high C - the strings really do double the C which is what Rodolfo sings (but not in the original version - he sings a D -> Eb. HOWEVER I still maintain that the recording / or the performance may be transposed down a bit. Sorry for the bitchy comments - but that's how I am before my morning coffee
-
@drewski67 Also Bezduz is known to graciously sing the high E flat somewhere. So there is no ridicule.

@drewski67 OK sunshine - take a pitchfork which will give you a perfect A at 440 HZ. Download the clip. Loop around the "spe e" with any sound editing program. Knock the pitchfork on your forehead to get a perfect A - notice the halftone difference. Check out you tube HQvY4YKlwtM - notice something of the high C compilation? The High C's are different notes! If you are such an opera buff maybe you should know that sometimes the orchestra transposes a piece half up or down or even one up or down.
Only a few day's left !!!!

Bravo Bülent , I havent seen better than your interpretation except Pavaroti. It's like a singing lesson. I will come to see your La Favorita in Montpellier. I love your tender voice. Where ever you sing TOI TOI TOI.
