He is a great artist, really!

[daddio7777777]

A true artist. Relaxed. Always the expressive singing. No gasping. No sobbing. No handkerchief.

[Rigelcentauri58]

No doubt, is one of a kind!!!!

Can any other opera singer top that?

[nessundorma44]

Es passt so gar nicht in die Philosophie mancher Instrumentalisten, daß Sänger automatisch

musikalische Leichtgewichte-und vor allem Tenöre noch dumm dazu sein müssen-wenn man

dieses Video mir dem grandiosen Placido Domingo ansieht!

Höchsten Respekt vor dieser grandiosen Stimme, verbunden mit hoher Musikalität !

@theonlygriffo

But you don't have to put him on Pavarotti's level. There's no shame in being "bested" by one of the greatest tenors of all time. He's still a great singer.

[fvrp]

Great tenor forever!

Look for Felipe Peletta also singing this song and many others.

@theonlygriffo Sorry if I came off as rude. I only recently started to dabble in opera again. But I'm slightly biased since I only saw Domingo live (and he shook my hand afterwards!!) and he was just as gracious off the stage. So I wonder does opera singers have a "scorecard" or "metrics" - as in if you hit certain notes and ranges? Is that what you mean by "exact science"?

[theonlygriffo]

@phantomegmail That's very true, preference is, for the most part, purely subjective. Technical differences can be fairly small in terms of the physical nature of the technique, yet the difference it makes in the sound can be phenomenal. Opera singing may be the highest and purest art form, though it is also an exact science.

@theonlygriffo When people are at the top of their profession (like Domingo and Pavarotti clearly are), those technical differences are minimal and usually at the discretion of the listeners. Rating one above the other is purely subjective. Besides, music is clearly a form of artistic expression and not measurable by any scientific measure.
