  • Me alegro que les guste, para mí es uno de los grandes cantantes "desconocidos" pero que tenemos que hacer el trabajo de saber más de él.

  • Marcelocien que bueno que te gusto!.

  • Sounds wonderful. A true "Tenore di Grazia" in every sense. I think Rockwell Blake has come the closest to Simoneau in perfection of breath control and nuance. Si, Simoneau es bastante desconocido pero la nueva generacion lo descubrira. En plus, il est canadien. Vive Mozart et vive Leopold Simoneau!

  • Extraordinary dynamic control and intelligence of rendition. He makes you hear things in this aria others simply do not.

  • BRAVO! Mr Simoneau! This is what Mozart composed and his use of dynamics, piano and forte and back again were almost perfect. He has a beautiful legato line as well, which is ESSENTIAL for singing Mozart. However listen to Ramon Vargas in the latest Met HD production who even surpasses this beautiful rendition.

  • @mozzrt The 2 offerings of Luigi Alva here on YT singing this aria were both can belto offerings, where he used NO dynamics at all and sang the aria forte all the way through. Mozart composed the aria as a gentle, tender love declaration, which Simoneau comes very close to getting perfect here and wherein Alva fails hopelessly! If you would like to hear the BEST exponent of this aria (in my humble opinion that is) listen to Ramon Vargas on the latest Met HD production. He is absolutely glorious.

  • @MegaBreez Yes Alva is unsurpassed. He is, was and always will be the ultimate Don Ottavio. Noone can touch him, not Araiza, Dermota, Gedda, Wunderlich, Burrows, Winbergh nor Reti, Pavarotti, Domingo or Gigli. Not even Schiotz. and certainly not Rockwell Blake! But Simoneau is fantastic, if Alva hadn't existed, he'd be perhaps the greatest.

  • @dziady1

    please listen to Luigi Alva

  • This is the masterpiece of a performance,

    no one comes near this great artist .

  • @forallyouknow Vladimir Albatayev comes close among modern tenors in this respect; he can definitely spin a great high pianissimo, but I have not heard him sing opera.

  • Una voce eccellente, una interpretazione di rara finezza!

    Una cantata da angeli: un prezioso bijou!

    Five stars e applasi

    grazie per il post

  • Don Octavio a été son grand rôle. Il est encore aujourd'hui considéré comme le plus grand interprète de Mozart au monde. Un grand chanteur, raffiné et si musical. Merci pour cet extrait!

  • This is the aria, when I prefer Simoneau to Dermota. Angelic singing.

  • Beautifull and just right.
