Kaufmann could not begin to shine Vickers' shoes - Jonas has a LOOONG way to go before being even mentioned in the same breath!

Vickers was my favorite dramatic tenor and he was wonderful as Florestan. As for the ending of this aria, it works because of the frantic emotion that Vickers puts into this performance. For me opera is just not about pretty notes. It is believing in the character. With Vickers (and a few other great singers) I believe.

this piece makes me cry its so horrible! Of course I'm not referring to the singing and acting which is fabulous Its just so horrible FOR Florestan!*tears welling up* he's thinking he sees a vison of Leonore, his angel, and he gets so much strength just from thinking about her and how much he loves her. And then at the end of the aria the slump to the ground is almost like a realization that it was just a dream and he's alone again and facing death... :-( so sad

@jhgreenhorn Ouais, c'est sûr, quand on écoute du Beethoven, la musique on n'en a strictement rien à faire

Find ich einfach grausam. Tut mir leid, wenn ich die ganzen Vicker Fans damit enttäusche..

@Winterwonnemond I don´t even know why are they compared?? They are so diferent, nor the same voice color, nor the same (or even close) stage presence. Nor the same operatic time. Like oil and water.

@gaytenor ^ 5 For Rosvaenge . If Im correct there is a recording of Helge at 64 singing Floristan and he kicks ass.

Allright
-
actually I was referring to the two videos "gaytenor" suggested as effortless live recordings...not to Vicker's performance....

how can anyone prefer kaufmann over him....either vocally or artistically?

To all warring parties. If we argue about singers we love, instead of celebrating them, the world is in trouble. Kaufmann can sing wonderfully with a most un-german sound and a big nod to Vickers. Vickers is Vickers, however, and his elemental sound is unique in the age of recording.
