Beverly Sills - Dunque io son! - Il Barbiere Di Siviglia

[@GeorgeSand78]

I second that! I just love the way she has FUN! She just bounces to the music! Why can't we all just enjoy singing like THAT!

[@eacs86]

Bev Sills makes this look so easy! Lovely.

[@godivapaw]

YOU are nuts!!!! Beverly Sills OWNED this role!!!

[@flouraki]

Beverly Sills is beautifully wonderful!! OM GOSH!!!

[@caltrask51]

Her voice is so flexible. I love her in this role.

[@baritonoguapo]

Alan Titus is singing Wotan now. Who'd have expected that?

[@allstatebass]

i love you bev.

[@Njamh]

Sí se parece a la partitura original... la tengo delante ahora mismo, y se parece muchísimo ^^ . Creo que ambos están magníficos, y han sabido llevar muy bien la complejidad que esta aria implica ;)

[@akoljrkdsf]

wow its so beautiful! why couldnt life be like a operette :/

[@petelovesbevsills]

I have done you the favour and yes Teresa and Herman are total magic!!! Is it OK to say that I personally still am crazy about Beverly's interpetation of Rosina?? Teresa was a stunning singer but we cannot compare a mezzo with a coloratura soprano! Cheers!

[@Spiceofmadrid]

@candidnt Lol you just made my day :)

[@Agorante]

No, Henry Price was the tenor. That's Titus. Titus was nominally a baritone at this point in his career but he sounded awfully tenorish and sang some tenor parts. Then he became a Verdi baritone. Today he's a Wagnerian Heldenbariton.

[@radubradu]

Not yet, this is the first part of the trilogy. Also Rosina isnt a contesse yet...And thats why Bartolo seeks revenge on Figaro...Anyway wikipedia it. Or better yet read the Beaumarchais plays

[@wickedismycrack714]

I seriously got a kick out of this comment....Very true!!

[@baritonoguapo]

It depends upon whether the conductor will allow it and the Figaro has enough energy.

[@catchersmitt0]

LOL :-)

[@vitellia]

He certainly is a great singer with such voice and presence, but fioritura/ semiquaver runs just weren't his things i guess... I'll start praying for another Juan Diego Florez who's a baritone...

[@allstatebass]

lol. but, the notes he sings are actually accurate.

[@jmiller05]

His agility is way off too.

[@gustopheles]

Alan Titus is fantastic here. And Sills *sounds* good, but the ornamentation is wacky.
