"Di quella pira" from Il Trovatore (Verdi).
Impressive and impassionate performance. Enjoy!
But is it really true?

Very clever I love the editing with the added sostenuto on the two top notes... Very funny .... but clever!!!

Thanks!

There is no need for them to modify Bocelli's voice. The people who buy his music don't know what a true operatic voice should sound like anyways so Bocelli would sound good to them regardless.

The best

[Lovelytenor1]

He left us numerous real examples of his "C" but as with so many tenors, including this old guy, as his voice aged/darkened he lost the tip top of his voice. In return we tenors get a b-flat that is awesome. This is the normal course. Of course, there are many lighter/thinner tenors who maintain their top. It may not sound pretty anymore but they can still make it there.

This is phony. He had no high C and he was the first one to admit it. Also, the high B( because it is no high C) was doubled here in duration both times. it's phony and funny. Regardless, he was one of the best ever.

[Triosfrios]

LOL!!! How funny!!! This recording was manipulated left and right. Caruso had no high C. There is no way on earth he could have sang a high C, let alone held a high C for that long. Domingo had the same problem. Pavarotti, of course, did not. Nice editing here and electronic pitch manipulating though.

Феноменальные природные данные!.

The top notes in the original recording (and the was only one "Di quella pira" recorded by Caruso (in 1906)) are Bs.

@TheSmoshmy You know whats funny... I kinda agreed with you until I heard that first high note he held forever and it did put a lil menacing grin on my face. And I am an ass when it comes to singers over doing or giving extra extra extra value to long notes...but man that was pretty badass!

[TheSmoshmy]

So silly.So unmusical.Holding onto high notes way past their correct duration is strictly for morons.General taste really has improved

@barytontaine Caro amico,ancora una volta ti dico che questa registrazione é una invenzione.Caruso mai ha cantato la stretta con do naturale...e un fatto.

Enrico Caruso e stato il RE della messa di voce,aveva una voce unica,sublime!

Tutti tenori del mondo nella epoca dopo Caruso sognavano di avere la sua voce!

Georges Thill e stato un bravissimo tenore...purtroppo cantavano tenori migliori di Thill.

Enrico Caruso é il RE tra i tenori!

E un fatto.Con simpatia,ciao.

@bodiloto CARUSO a normalement un timbre merveilleux ( ecoutez le dans ' umbra mai fu par exemple) mais ici il n'est pas du tout à son aise tout au long du morceau avec un timbre forcé et éraillé.Son C4 s'en ressent et le tenir aussi longtemps aussi précaire est de l'inconscience.Attention au nodule sur les cordes vocales. .Ecoutez le C4 DE GEORGES THILL dans FAUST commencé en mezza voce puis devenant éclatant sans effort. C'est cela le grand art.Ceci dit j'admire CAUSO , GIGLI, TAGLIAVINI .
