  • magnifico carreras! bravo! il migliore per questo ruolo!

  • Not really bothered by the half step lower. I'd rather listen to his rendition of this aria any day. He actually tells the story with his voice. Unlike many others who do sing it in key. So tender and such musicianship heard in his rendition. Unlike no other.

    BRAVO!

  • Carerra's quality is beautiful here, but as he enters the passaggio or higher the voice has a wow or wobble to it and the high note isstrained but ok

  • una voce meravigliosa !!

  • I've listened to all the greats singing this and Carreras is just the best - stop whingeing about the half step lower and listen to the passion and the tenderness which he imparts - you don't need the pictures, the voice does it all.

  • I love them together!! As they stare at each other - a unique bond:)

  • @donatello1 or his alvaro, that is great.

  • it is enchanting, how Mimi looks at Rodolfo here. with love. and it doesnt matter how much she weighed:-) or how much she didnt. and in his voice you hear all the emotions so clearly. he neednt use anything to act the part, his voice is so powerful.there is much more to a tenor than his c´s.

  • Tremenda version Josep. Que viva Catalyuna!

  • Carreras wrote in his book that every time he appeared on stage with Caballe he "fell in love with her all over again". Love hearing this, but his Rodolfo with Stratas two years later was a real triumph of passion and artistry. They were magnificent together!

  • If it would be prohibited to perform tenor repertoire transposing down the material...

    Then, I bet you, the Domingo's Carreras, etc, will tune their techniques a notch up, and nail them C's.

    Otherwise, they just get comfortable and loom around the B's....
