I've never seen Carreras look more handsome than this scene. So loving.

The way he carresses her hair and kisses her cheek. The duet is totally enchanting. Is this the mystique of

"the Latin Lover?" If "Ricky Martin" is

the new embodiment of a "Latin Lover"

you can keep him!

Thank you xavierfersanta. This is so beautiful it moves me to tears. I wish I'd seen Carreras in his prime but I am grateful I can listen to him again and again through all the wonderful recordings and thank goodness for YouTube!

Bravo Josep!

OMG, can't stop listening to Carreras. What a voice, so handsome and sweet. I'm always delighted as have been for the last thrity some years. This is maybe the best rendition of Traviata I've ever seen.

What a perfect sound of Carreras!

@mikeopera: I couldn't agree more. This is easily in my top two performances of this duet (the other being Domingo and Stratas). In particular, I feel that Carreras in is prime had one of the most exquisite vocal instruments around. Great emotional depth is also in evidence from both singers here; Scotto appears close to losing her composure as Carreras sings (note her dimpled chin), pulling herself together just in time to make her own masterfully controlled pianissimo entrance. Phenomenal!

Carreras sounds beautiful here . His voice was most suited in the more lyric operas where his line of singing& quality of voice do not become distorted,

I must agree with mikeopera, tuadolcefanciulla and I'm sure many others. It is wonderful acting and singing. It is absolutely believable. Now is the moment and we are together again and even death itself cannot cloud this joining, we are in love for ever! Thank you for up loading this.

Magnifique! La Scotto est sublime et est insurpassable dans ce rôle, surtout à parti de ces années 1970. Fil di voce, dramaturgie, couleurs, tout y est.

Et Carreras fait merveille avec son timbre unique.

Merci pour avoir posté ce document inégalable

Why does the sound and vidio, keep cutting out? It's driving me mad and therefore I don't use YouTube!

[MissJessyeNorman]

I love Scotto!!!! I think she gets unfairly treated on youtube because she used so much squillo, which in performance sounds ridiculously gorgeous, but doesn't record so well. I am sick of the new breed of breathy singers. Give me point, ring, squillo anyday =)!!!
