Actually, this is another version of "Una furtiva lagrima."

I own the recording, and the booklet states

Note from Evelino Pido:

" . . . I suggested to Roberto Alagna that we record the second version of 'Una furtiva lagrima', which Donizetti himself wrote, clearly for a more baritonal tenor, about 10 years after finishing this score. This is a very interesting version, which includes some lovely, and highly original variations in the second verse, and an associated final cadenza."

While I understand some of you wanting "what the composer intended," there is not one DEFINITIVE version, and a bit of research would be preferable before stating dislike of the singer. Roberto Alagna is known to want stay as close to what is written as possible.

@pinguinangelical Fue grabado en realidad en la Ópera de Lyon en Francia, por Decca, dirigida por Evelino Pido. (Lo siento si mi español es muy malo.)

Fue grabado en el MET, dirigido por James Levine, con Roberto Alagna y Angela Gheorghiu. Muy buena presentación, de la Deutch Grammaphone

@ARQUICANTANTE Es escritura original del mismo autor Donizetti, es de hecho primera que la mas comun que cantaba pavarotti, a mi me parece igual de buena

[TheTedirgin]

nemorino fakir fukara bir oğlandır, ama zengin ve kendisiyle ilgilenmeyen bir kıza sevdalanmıştır. çaresizlik içinde bir "aşk iksiri" alır, ama aldığı şey ucuz kırmızı şaraptan başka bir şey çıkmaz. nemorino acınası bir şekilde yine de bunun işe yarayacağına inanmaktadır. işte birden zengin kızın ağladığını gördüğünde onun kendine aşık olduğuna, bu yüzden ağladığına inanır

I must say it's very refreshing to hear different interpretations (or another version in this case) of the great arias. Even if I perhaps like the other version more, it's important for the art itself that we keep exploring new ways. I've just discovered Alagna, and I'm really glad I did.

[ARQUICANTANTE]

Muy buena voz, pero poco respeto por el autor.

I like this interpretation! Crisp diction, solid technique, more baritonal which fits Alagna's range well. Perhaps an attempt to distance himself and the comparisons to the tenor who owns this aria--Pava. Good work! Bravo!

Un génie, la plus belle voix du monde, j'en reste sans voix !

Que porquería le hizo a ésta aria. No me gusta ni tantito.
