Oh man, when he hits that high note during the bridge - it's how it's supposed to be done!  I don't think I've heard a version of this song more passionate.

Wow this is so convincing. I really like how he says maria with an Czech accent. He feels the song, and his face captures all the romance in loving a girl. I think the song sounds better in this language

...more sensitive version

Czechs have great reputation as musicians. Think about Smetana or Dvorak. Hence there is no suprice that such talent is born in that country. But Slovak Peter Dvorsky is even better!

Very good, but self indulgent on the held soft tone and overall nothing compared to Aaron Shaw's version! Seriously you all need to type in Aaron Shaw and watch his west side story medley and singing Maria if you think this is great. The dude does the piece up a whole step and nails an out of this world HIGH C during part of some cheesy cruise ship show. Wow.

Zu schade, dass er in der deutschen "volkstümlichen Musik" verheizt wurde!

Super!!!

Karlovo "bel canto" (legátové vedení, ozdoby a změna síly hlasu) je v této verzi naprosto úchvatné!
