Grande Carreras!!!
-
Domingo is a great artist , he was a nice Don Jose in his young days.. Later - he was a great Samson, Othello.. well, in any opera, but NOT in Carmen. Don Jose IS for Carreras....( I even prefer Shikoff to Domingo - as Jose).Well, great artists have "their roles" and could be comparatively weak sometimes.(ex . Carreras is weak in "Pagliacci", IMO.)
And Carmen - IS for Baltsa.... So - this is the BEST pair, Carreras and her, I believe.
As for Obrastsova- never liked her too much.
-
Obraztsova and Domingo are better in duet, I think... Though these two artists are also great. Especially Carreras
-
This is the Zeffirelli production done for Obratzsova and Domingo a decade earlier....

I HAVE SOME ORIGINAL LOCANDINE 28X38 CM FROM TEATRO ALLA SCALA CARMEN WITH CARRERAS AND BALTSA FOR SALE. IS ANYONE INTERESTED ?
-
Carreras was sent from god to sing Don jose

How wonderful they are.



Finally, this appears on Youtube. Agnes in her best Carmen, surpassing her performances in Salzburg and the Met. How I wish the Wiener Staastoper will issue it on DVD. Thanks so much Elisabetta. Please post more excerpts from this Carmen if you can. thanks once again.

Indeed! Would this performance be Herbert von Karajan conducting the Berliner Philharmoniker, by any chance? Thank you for posting, Elisabetta.

I believe it's Claudio Abbado or Maazel conducting.
