  • Listen to that crowd! This aria was once called "perfect", and we can hear why. There is no doubt he deserves to be on the pedestal of great tenors; he had great chops once. This may or may not be his best, but he has plenty of fans moved by his intense stage craft and soaring notes. I prefer a full voice on that Bb, but Bizet was clear: sing it softly and intensely. And Carreras gave us his best. Did anyone notice how much he drooled (1:51 and 3:12)? At his juiciest, in more ways than one!

  • This was one of Carreras' signature roles like it or not folks

  • I agree with you, PIPSPROF. What a voice!

  • bravo islandofgrass - you've got it in one!!! He IS on the pedestal of great tenors - no doubt. Agree with SDVUHLAP too - the best ever.

  • @TheKyomu2010 i know Thanks for responding

  • @sugarbist

    Strangulated and pushed - the Bb was embarrassing!

  • The ideal role for Jose Carreras and not only because his name is in the role.

    In my opinion, Don Jose should possess some of the qualities of a lyric tenor with the same strength as a spinto. Carreras has just the voice. He hits the Bb pianissimo EXACTLY how Bizet intended it to be. His french is spot on, and doesn't make the same mistakes you can find with other singers with pronunciation.

    Bravo Carreras!

  • Baltsa bad but i love jose

    ]

  • fantastic !!!

  • Carreras je v této arii snad nepřekonatelný v síle citu , který na člověka zapůsobí! o úchvatné! Díky !

  • I do like Carreras' acting, but I hate the way he approaches the high Bb.
