Jose Carreras - Recondita armonia 2010

from the opera 'Tosca' by Giacomo Puccini

Recondita armonia di bellezze diverse!
È bruna Floria, l'ardente amante mia,
e te, beltade ignota
cinta di chiome bionde!

Tu azzurro hai l'occhio
Tosca ha l'occhio nero!
L'arte nel suo mistero
le diverse bellezze insiem confonde:

ma nel ritrar costei
il mio solo pensiero,
ah! il mio sol pensier sei tu!
Tosca, sei tu!

Translation:
What subtle harmony

What subtle harmony of different beauties!
Floria, my passionate lover is a brunette
and you, unknown beauty,
are framed by fair hair

you have blue eyes
Tosca has dark eyes
the mysterious art
mixes the different beauties together:

but while I paint her
I only think
Ah! I only think of you
Tosca, of you!

  • Why does he lip-sync I am a big fan of jose and love his voice very much just don't understand why he has to lip-sync

  • strange indeed...he shouldn´t have done this...if it is a hommage to himself , then just show a film or whatever...lip-sync in live performance is not right...especially a recording from the 70´s or early 80´s when he was in great shape...pity he accepted to do this.

  • You threw me Jose. I thought the voice was back, and how did you do it. More experienced viewers enlightened me. You have given me pleasure in the past, but I think it is time to retire.

  • the badly-synced bass gave him away...

  • Un tenor de Opera haciendo play-back en directo delante del publico?? Que lastima no saber cuando uno debe retirarse y exponerse a hacer el ridiculo de esta manera...Con lo grande que usted ha sido sr. Carreras para que esto??

  • Eso es una falta de respeto al publico, si ya no puede que se retire. Fue un grande pero debe reconocer que a raiz de la leucemia todo se fue a pique.

  • @Be00Cool: What are you talking about???? You made the same silly comment at another video of the J.C. Gala in Leipzing. How can you not know he's singing live. You don't have an ear for music at all. Besides, it's his own show for Leukemia Foundation, how could he or any other artist at the Gala, for that matter, sing play-back? And if you don't understand English get a translator and shut up!

  • Me encanta José Carreras, pero un tenor de ópera haciendo play-back es ridículo.

  • Well I have had the chance to watch him live without any microphones at the Royal Opera House Muscat 6 days ago. He has sung this song. It wasn't the original key most probably. But it sounded PERFECT!!!

    Music should be more about the emotions than the pitch or high notes... He is still a great singer...

  • @hightenor123 :( Why a singer of his talent and career do this? If one's gift is gone, thank God, if you will, for the time you had it, and retire gracefully. Easy for me to say, but I never attained fame, so I do not know how hard it is to leave the live opium behind and sit down. Really sad about this. Like seeing Joe Louis on the canvas with his bald pate facing the camera. Over is over.

  • ДА ЛИ ЈЕ МОГУЋЕ ДА ОВАЈ ЧОВЕК У ТИМ ГОДИНАМА ТАКО ДОБРО ПЕВА ?

  • @SFsuperforte Because I have spent my life listening and loving Carreras, and I recognize the recording, and I know what he sounds like in 2010.
