Once again with the late Woldemar Nelsson during a tour together in the netherlands. (here Amsterdam) Grand apologies for the video quality! (Welch Dunkel hier!!) myspace.com/louisgentile http://www.louisgentile.com/
Congratulations, the top end feels less stretched than most tenors on this difficult aria.
I think there's no need to stretch anything here: if one starts without excess tension, the high frequency harmonics will blossom as the music goes up.
Sorry for my English. I hope it is understandable.
Eine volle und mitreißende Stimme, die sowohl die Kraft des Helden, als auch die Qual in diesem Kerkerloch mitfühlen läßt. Eine gelungene und faszinierende Florestan-Interpretation... Das Orchester überdröhnt leider stellenweise den Gesang.
I know Louis Gentile from his first contract in Darmstadt Staatstheater. He has come a long way from that point in his career. This; "Got Welch Dunkle Hier" is as well sung as Jon Vickers.
This is one fine tenor -- would love to hear him in Samson et Dalila & Otello! Bravo!

Gentile is good, but Mr. Nelsson is sleeping?
