@1993MGB Ah I thought so because his voice is not deteriorated like it sort of did. Thanks. Is still beautiful though

[1993MGB]

I love the last "vincero"! I swear I felt it!

So many nonsense comments. Doesn't matter who is supposed to be the best for this area......I will never forget his live performance that I had the pleasure to attend several years ago. He is one of the few who has the capability to capture instantly the attention of the whole audience......like only a few select others. Voice analysis is not everything.....stage presence is!

YEAH ! JOSE SAID VINCERO AGAINST LEUKEMIA AND THE DISEASE IS GONE ! YEAH !

I love Carreras, beautiful voice, and he should be compared to De Stefano. This is a poor performance.  One contributor has already mentioned the contradiction of the aria, it is written for a lyric tenor, but requires something of a spinto tenor to carry it off. Del Monaco is too loud, too dramatic... Bjorling came closest in his early years. Corelli in modern times...

@FrankoCorelli

What is your singing school? Carreras, like De Stefano before him, used muscular strength to make his voice sound  'bigger' both were not satisfied with what nature had given them hence the need to push.

Carreras was a light lyrical tenor there is no such thing as a lyrical/dramatic tenor. His voice was in decline from the early eighties years before the onset of his illness.

Jose preforms like a dream here. One of my favorite Calafs.

To be honest, the role of Calaf was created by Miguel Fleta, a lyric tenor.

Who are we to truly say how Calaf is supposed to sound? Are our opinions directly steaming from Puccini's imagination in his final days? Do the dramatic voices of Corelli, Mario Del Monaco or Domingo truly express this nameless prince's innermost, hidden desires?
