GRANDE!

i´m grateful he dared to sing this.

There is a 1975 L'Elisir d'Amore from SF where, if possible, his singing is even more beautiful. The role of Nemorino, I think, fits him better. This performance is also one of his best, the voice just caressing you with liquid gold.

As beautiful as it is, I can't help but thinking, he was ruining his voice as he sang it. I prefer more natural metal in this aria and certainly the role
But I suppose with him, di Stefano others we must be thankful for what they did, on their terms even though I wish they had been more circumspect about what their voices were naturally intended for
This continues today where another Villazon-never on this level-and apparently not lasting as long continue to sing what they shouldn't
Golden? What would you call the versions of Del Monaco, Tucker and Corelli then??????
He's pushing his so beautiful voice to its limits....

I love Tucker, Corelli, and Del Monaco. They were all heroic voices, and Tucker is my favoarite tenor of all time. But- Carreras does sing this aria with a golden tone. There are no two ways about that, IMO. We are not comparing him to the others.
