  • The singer is magnificent: if the aria is sung in italian or german, it is of no importance. That it combines geniouses like Sheakaspeare, verdi and Mr.Windgassen is.

  • I thought I'd never enjoy Italian opera sung in German, but I was wrong:)

    Great voice, great interpretation, great acting.

    this is from the movie though, so lipsynching; I'd love to here his live Otello, please post it if you got one

  • @francotenelli This was filmed live!!! A legendary production

  • "finezza" no puede traducirse aquí por finura, más bien sería sutileza, y eso es lo que yo echo en falta en esta interpretación, es demasiado plana no aparece la lucha interior de Otello, ni sus terribles dudas entre su amor por Desdemona y la certidumbre de las pruebas que le está presentando Yago; no se trata de un salvaje que asesina por placer sino por sentido de la justica. (su sentido y el de su época evidentemente)

  • @ibnhazm Quisiera saber qué tiene de fino un tipo tan celoso que va a matar a su esposa.

  • @jotahuene Does it matter? Most dramatic tenors don't make this better than him.

  • @ibnhazm en ese caso se puede ver asi: Windgassen,sublime actor vocal interpreta Shakespeare/Boito con la musica de Verdi. Simplemente soberbio!

  • An excellent rendition, but I don't thin Windgassenn is a dramatic tenor. He is a lyric/lyric spinto

  • @tenorismo sorry...????

  • @gaemp Whos Otello is more hysterical ? Verdis or The Bards ?

  • ¿qué dirían los alemanes si cantara Sigfrido en italiano? no es posible cambiar idiomas tan completamente diferentes. Además Wolfgang está fuera de papel "manca finezza"

  • ....so unnatural in German...unidiomatic, corroded.....Windgassen can hit the notes, but the voice is too light for this role.....he is competing with the finest heroic tenors in history, too, and comes out lacking.....yet I like this tenor in appropriate roles....
