[@voce29]

A rare mixture of intelligence, vocal power and lyric refinement. An extraorinary rendition never heard before. Thank you for posting this.

I was there in the third row. He was absolutely stunning. Amazing.

.....eine Ohren- und Augenweide.....habe die HD-Übertragung am 14.5. erlebt ...... und davon kann man träumen ....

[@liricobarroco]

the best of the galaxy!

[@fr609]

He's a genuinely nice guy too. I met him briefly back stage after his recent solo recital at the Met.

[@VespasianMusic]

Fabulous! I can hardly wait until May 14, when I'll be seeing it at the Met.

[@Chenier0608]

Soberbio, Jonas!. El mejor Siegmund del momento.

[@Sylt1954]

Bravo !!!

[@annea1b]

thank you for posting this. Any more? Please?!!!

[@keyar87]

Sounds very, very good in my opinion. His dark timbre suits this role of Siegmund perfectly. Powerful and flexible.

[@joanabanyeres]

extraordinaire voix.

[@visse264]

@ChelseaJoeCool Agree. I guess you're right about that.

[@ChelseaJoeCool]

He is not the best Siegmund, but nowadays it is good that we have someone who sings at least above average.

[@Tosqueta]

¡¡¡¡¡ I M P R E S I O N A N T E !!!!!

[@amfortas1978]

I think there are many Kaufmann's fans in youtube. He is a good singer, but people keep saying he is 'perfect' everywhere just make others feel funny. Real classical music lover wouldn't easily say any singer 'perfect'

[@HeavyOpera1]

Reminds me of Jon Vickers (one of my favorite Siegmunds) a bit.

[@wTrevorh]

A descent effort, but his voice is way too dark. This aria usually sounds a bit brighter and more melodic. Where's the light in this piece?

[@ChelseaJoeCool]

@macfolger No one can touch him? Have you heard Svanholm, King or Windgassen? They can! Yes he is a great tenor of our time, but not the best!

[@ChelseaJoeCool]

@mariusfelix I`m not a big Lorenz fan and I don`t think that he is better than Kaufmann.

[@macfolger]

@ChelseaJoeCool Nonsense. No one can touch him..........He is one of the great German tenors of our times. Great voice, intelligence, musicality.......and his heroic looks. He is exceptional in every way.
