i am a big opera fan i admit it
i am studying the opera for the last around 9 years
i am familiar with all the known opera arias
most of them at least
never heard this one
this is the third time i am hearing it cause there is a strange energy this man reflects
don't know what it is but it's peculiar enough to drag me back here and listen it
i can say only bravo

I'm not worried. He sings so well, and doesn't sacrifice his voice for effect. As long as he respects his own limits, and doesn't try to impress, he can pretty much sing anything he wants. What a wonderful tenor he is!

Apart from his stunning vocal talent, he is a such a convincing actor, what is more surprising is the energy of his acting comes from the understanding of the music and the text, not just love of theatricals. I think he'll have a long career. Since the singer almost lost his voice, he knows how to protect and maintain his intrument , I think from 30 years from now, peopel will say, so and so's (any aria) was superb but you can't compare that to Kaufmann's.

Your prediction IS proven!

@BearDugan : In case you haven't gotten an answer -- I think the aria is referred to as "Merci, doux crepuscule" [Thank you, sweet sunset] which is the first line of the text. If you look under Damnation de Faust you should be able to find it -- good luck. It is beautiful, isn't it!!

I totally agree with you. He is unique... Great, an example for all singers

I loooooohoooooohoooooohooooove iit !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, for just existing, Jonas, my model
I'm a singer, and everytime I'm tempted by thinking "I'm good", I listen to you, then I go back to an humble way of seeing myself.
thank you again...
See you

Tamino,Florestan, Faust...I predict he will be one or even the best tenor of our time.

and Walther v Stolzing (Edinburgh), Don Jose (London, big success), Don Carlo, des Grieux (soon in Vienna), Alfredo (esp. great success in Paris), Cavaradossi (soon), Parsifal, Kings son (Königskinder), Rodolfo, Tito (on DVD), Fierrabras (was just on TV), concerts and Lied recitals. Just got the Gramophone UK Award for his Cd with Strauss songs. He is very versatile and doesn't want to be catalogued.
Fantastic actor as well.
