It maybe the sound quality of this clip, but I think Alvarez's voice sounds too lightweight.
Mind you I have just been listening to the great Ettore Bastianini!

@MissLadyboy007 It may indeed be the sound quality, because I heard Alvarez live and the too has that wonderful dark shimmer in his voice. He may not quite be the reincarnated Bastianini, but Carlos has a most exquiste voice and he uses it very intelligently.

At least he doesn't scream

beautifully rendered! Bravo Alvarez particularly! As for the visual presentation, there is no way Elvira would have chosen this totally unheroic looking sad-sack Ernani over the handsome, majestic, virile Carlo in this production.

Looks as if everyone has a costume from another time period/opera. Funny.
Singing is great.

para mi carlos me gusta cuando interpreta a verdi me fascina

@DarthHito Bastianini is Bastianini, and thankfully he had the voice to sing the way he sang... it's totally futile to discuss whether he was bass or baritone..
-
Lotric it is
-
Yup. He started as a bass and then moved to baritone. He really was a baritone with a bass overtone. He had an amazing range as well going up to the high C, which is extremely rare for a bass to have.
Who are the others? The tenor is may be Janez Lotric and tha soprano is similar to Radwanovsky.
