I think this guy puts villazon into shame, for voice and looks

Just type "kraus rimorso" in the search bar. It's better by MILES.

Well, I take my hat off to Kaufmann for following the direction. Very professional.

The things singers have to put up with. Listen to him lose his note for having to contort and move : precisely at 00:48 sec, then the cabaletta is super slow and to end it all the guy has to sing his high C while back to the public... wow. I respect Kaufmann for his patience and understanding.

Maravillosa la voz, horrible la puesta en escena, casi parece una parodia.-

[Gunnifunz]

OMG! What an awful production. It makes you want to sing in concerts only! Also the tempo of the cabaletta is much too slow ... mind you ... just for my taste. And still. What Jonas is making of the situation... absolutely a miracle. I do hope his voice is not going to do what Villazon's did.

It is quite hard to sing if you you are lying on your back, most directors are just clueless. But Kaufmann nevertheless sounds pressed if he stands on his feet. I am not quite sure if he had get the high C by standing still, but who knows.

@mrjoe1955 Im sure he does know what he is saying. As an opera singer myself, you dont always have a lot of say in what the director wants.
