This song takes a while to get started. It was about a 1:30 in before I was all, "Oh, it's THAT song!" I guess all the things which feature this song only feature it from that point on.

The year, 1967, the place: Salzburg Festival Austria, the conductor, Herbert Van Karajan; the cast: Grace Bumbry as Carmen, Jon Vickers as Jose & Mirella Freni as Micaela. This was made to look like a movie, which was a stroke of genius. It's available on DVD from Deusche Gramophone label on Amazon.com. Bumbry, Vickers and Freni are all outstanding. My favorite Carmen of all time. The best!

I love this but I do find the whole thing a little static. However.....there is no denying that Grace is able to seduce with those eyes. Captivating.

She looks as perfect gipsy for this role, very sensual... nice voice, but when I only listen, somehow, I don´t feel enough passion... Too much legato, or glisses? Starts to be boring after 1 min...

Fantastic!! Sensual, powerful and beautiful. Perfect!

She doesn't even have to use that voice to have you captivated... it's all right there in the eyes before she's even sung a note!

How can anyone NOT LIKE THIS?!?
This is my favorite Carmen video on youtube. Her singing is flawless, clean and effortless. And she is gorgeous, sexy without even showing a lot of skin and acting like a wild slut.
