An epic 'Nessun dorma' from opera star Michael Spyres at Classic FM Live | Classic FM

[@crystalprice7858]

I didn’t think anyone could ever come close to Maestro Pavarotti. I was wrong. This is absolutely sublime. Goosebumps!! 🔥

[@josegime6480]

I still think that Pavarotti's version has no comparison, but I totally agree that this tenor is sublime. Another who also elevates the Nessum Dorma to the top is Jonathan Antoine.

[@Teladian2]

​@@josegime6480Michaels tone is darker and rounder than Pavorotti, and he has as much passion.

[@someone.06]

Not even close, get your ears checked.

[@robert111k]

Come on. Pavarotti's Nessun Dorma was weak. He was a leggero (lirico-leggero if you want, whe he grow older) and this is an aria for a spinto voice. Look for Corelli's version, or even Domingo's. Then you'll see how this aria should be sung.

[@joemidnight2404]

If I could stop crying, I could possibly give an accurate praise of this tenors earth shattering performance...

[@ti-jesuadeleke5563]

Amazeballs. He appropriately decided to be "still" for this aria. I've seen him animated with other pieces. The only thing that would have made this perfect was if he held that last note just a little longer- but I'm splitting hairs. Bravo, Michael!!

Thank you, Michael Spyres! This is the first time I’ve been able to bear hearing another artist sing Nessun Dorma after Pavarotti’s rendition of it in “Yes, Giorgio” was forever emblazoned onto my heart. It’s a bittersweet moment because it represents time marching on, and our need to make room in our hearts, and in our ears, for contemporary artists who have made arias their own - arias of which the definitive performances were by beloved singers of days gone by. It also made me smile - because it represents time marching on, and the knowledge that life continues, and what we once thought would always bring us sadness does give way to wonderful and beautiful experiences. Different. But, wonderful and beautiful nonetheless. Bravo!

Wow! So subtle and so perfect! Michael does something I haven't seen with any other version. He very, very subtly rounds the vowels in the final Vincero. I'm not even sure it is intentional. It may be a happy side-effect of the emotion in that final line. I had to rewind and listen over and over. It is tremendously endearing and heartfelt.

This 'Nessun dorma' by him is a clear improvement over his previous versions, especially the seamless transition into the high notes and a more meaty sound required for this genre.

[@낄끼리잉]

just beautiful bravo

[@JamesAHollandMusic]

The world of Opera is just as corrupt as any other part of the music industry. For decades now Jonas Kaufmann has been hailed as the greatest current tenor but listening to this artist, it is clear that there are better tenors out there. This was incredible on every level! Bravo Maestro

[@dvillegaspro]

And Spyres is not even a "true" tenor but rather had to work very hard to develop his tenor range because he is naturally a baritone. It's even more impressive, and in my personal opinion his rendition of Nessun Dorma is the best I've ever heard.

There is only ONE great Tenor ever lived and he was Luciano Pavarotti. He made Nessun Dorma what it is... a Masterpiece for the enjoyment of many generations to come. Michael Spyres will never be able to sing Nessun Dorma with the shameless gusto and passion Pavarotti did. Neither be comfortable in the high notes and especially need to sing it a tad bit faster as it sounds a little droopy. But overall Michael do have a great talent indeed.
