I see what you mean about 'harsh' and I think you are right. Whether it was because of an overemphasis on technical presentation or that the vocals are darker, this interpretation is far less about friendship and love than it is about the subject and object of duty. There's war in the air, and even with not only the best of intentions but also the best of actions, someone is going to get their throat cut. Now that's harsh, even with knowledge of the opera's conclusion. Is it intentional?

Thanks for posting this. My favourite version of this duet in the last 10 years. Beautiful singing and good balance.

An interesting comment and maybe "harsh" was not the correct word. I would entirely agree that the performance is "eloquent, stylish and powerful". Rather more than Vargas it is Tezlier's voice that I find I like less. As in all musical recordings there is a personal element and I'm happy to hear alternative suggestions. I don't like Pavarotti's voice but let's not argue :-)

jimuk63--I would not call this "harsh" at all. You must have felt that way because of the impact of two strong, dark voices at intensely dramatic parts of the piece. Bjoerling did his duet with Merrill when B was still in his 30's and his voice then was bright and sweet. Vargas was 47 here, and despite the heavier and dark colorations of his voice of late, his version here is still quite eloquent, stylish and powerful. Try Vargas-Gerello duet for lighter V.

Vargas make cry, what a beautifull voice.
Netrebko is good, Garanca and Tezier nice but Ramón was the star in that concert.

Two good strong voices and a pretty good recording. However, it strikes me as being rather harsh. Comparison with the Bjorling/Merrill shows exactly why that is my favourite.

This is very good! I especially like Ramon Vargas- very pretty voice. (Reminds me a bit of Carreras, my favorite!)

Listen to Bjorling and Merrill, here on youtube, and you be the judge!
