Placido Domingo sings a high D! - Lucia Act II Finale

Domingo sings with reckless abandon in this scene, and caps it off with a gutsy high D at the end of the ensemble. From the studio recording 1990 with Cheryl Studer, Samuel Ramey and Juan Pons.

A strained D in a studio recording! I don't even want to know how many times he had to re-record that final note to be spliced in during the editing stages.

@VinylToVideo Yes strained...I posted this more because I was surprised that a tenor who admits he does not have great top notes would attempt a D that no other tenor really attempts in this piece.

You are really reaching when you claim that its Domingo or even the Arturo how in the hell can you tell? Domingo was very, very strained on the high a's of the curse and the interpolated b-flat wasn't worth the effort. Compare his curse with live performances by Peerce, Tucker, Shicoff, DiStefano, etc., to hear what EASY SINGING AND RINGING HIGH NOTES ARE LIKE. Your hero was approaching the point where he would shamelessly transpose even sections of Otello down and he had high d RIGHT hahahaha!!

@gaytenor I am not reaching and I think we hear different things. I will admit frelly that Domingo strained a lot, but I do not hear it in this scene! His A's and Bflat are ringing. I think the D was ill advised, and I posted this because I was quite surprised that a tenor that admits himself not to having great high notes would attempt a D here where it is not even customary. Thanks for listening, I appreciate your opinion even if it is sort of harsh!

@vivadomingo1 No other tenor attemps in this piece? take a listen to Kraus. He often sung it.

@VinylToVideo, Why do not you mess around and rather long, man! you are a mediocre and stupid!!!

[TheDakiniKathryn]

Domingo IS a very effective Edgardo and definitely has a "Byronic" aura appropriate for the role with his plangent tone. As to the very thrilling tenor high D - when I first heard it I thought it was Domingo as well, but then I realized it is really the Arturo of Fernando de la Mora!!!

@andytaylor100 Someone with Mingo in every one of their favorites can't be trusted. Get a life.

[andytaylor100]

@VinylToVideo HAHA, respectfully, you' re deaf, dear friend. It was a supernatural high D...grande Plácido!!!

great final note by placido

@Baritanist Take a chill pill Jeremy you have been outed by your own actions! If LoMonaco was even adequate there would be some aural evidence putz. If your tomcat in heat braying can be posted well draw your own conclusions. You try to lure suckers in by telling them that you know the method of singing that made Peerce and Tucker great as though it was the singing method that made them great not their innate ability to sing. That makes you a CHARLATAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
