  • the 1970's were truly Carreras's greatest years! Too bad because he truly had one of the finest lyric voices of the 20th century.

  • Carreras actually sings all the notes and gets the rhythm right. Only Domingo also does. Not Bjoerling, or Di Stefano, or Bergonzi. Listen to them all on the Verdi Discography site. Usually Bergonzi is the most accurate of the composer's intentions. I heard Bergonzi do this role in Vienna and Carreras do it in SF (1977). I remember hearing Carreras's name being mention by two men standing near me (I don't speak Germen) as they discussed Bergonzi. They too knew that Jose was better than Carlo.

  • Non sale neanche con una pistola alla tempia. L'interpretazione, il personaggio? Ci sono soltanto preoccupazione e un po' di mestiere.

  • Only one tenor that I know sang the low C in this aria and that was Carlos Montane in ;le dolce canzone; sang it pianissimo

  • What a pretty voice he had in the beginning. Not a big pipe but that hardly matters.

  • I'm a little embarassed to have to admit that Carreras does not in fact sing all the notes in this particular performance. Like most tenors, he here skips the low C (one octave below middle C) on "irati." I was referring to his Phillips studio recording where he does sing it. As far as I know Bergonzi never sang that note (and he started as a baritone). This is a sort of Chris Merritt note.

    No one is perfect in this aria but Carreras is close.

  • I heard Bergonzi sing it at the Old Met with Price. Doesn't get any better as far as I'm concerned.

  • Impresionante !!!!!!! nunca habra otro igual !!!!Carreras genial !!!!!

  • I hope someone fired the chorusmaster

  • love it!!!

  • Elegant conducting, indeed.
