Francisco Araiza

Mexican tenor Francisco Araiza, sings Si Ritrovarla Io Giuro from Rossini's La Cenerentola,onto where he gives all the piece through a masterclass of singing, conducted by Riccardo Chailly.

[@Fuiga]

well in case you dont know... Francisco Araiza is one of the best mozart tenors in the world and of all times... and this aria fits his voice so nice as well.

[@MenteAmoryVida]

El más grande Tenor Mexicano de todos los tiempos.

[@GerardoRosvaenge]

Certainly a masterclass of singing. Bravo Araiza y muchas gracias Fuiga.

[@RickChristman]

It could not have been said any better.. . .. A "masterclass" of some of the finest singing of all time. Bravo Francisco. You ALWAYS did show the rest of us how it was done !

[@luidemarahue1]

BRRRAAAAAAVOOOOO !!!! What a wonderful and beautiful voice. One of the great Tenors of our time.

[@klitenmestre1]

Siento una debilidad increible por este gran tenor. Su voz es preciosa, sus agilidades limpias y afinadas y su belcanto del mejor que he podido oir en toda mi vida!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bravo gran Francisco Araiza Gran tenor!!!!!!

[@MenteAmoryVida]

Un tenor con voz poderosa, acacciaturas exactas y cantando Rossini con potencia y timbre amplio. ¿Será que difícilmente en la actualidad habrá nuevamente Tenores como FRANCISCO ARAIZA o RAMÓN VARGAS con técnica e interpretación perfecta?

[@fernandoparedes7557]

Javier Camarena es uno de ellos y se une a la lista de mexicanos destacados a nivel mundial

[@Rigelcentauri58]

STUNNING!!! it is incredible how easily he hits de top notes without losing the colour of the voice. He deserves to be among the greatest singers of history. Bravo FRANCISCO ARAIZA!!!!

[@ericerwin888]

I discovered this beautiful voice when I was 14 and have never found another Rossini tenor who can match him in phrasing or warmth... technically perfect

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

What a voice! And his acting is actually very realistic and not overdone, as is (unfortunately) common in some opera singers or productions, in any way. He really is wonderful. :D

[@tenorschofield]

BRAVOOOO!!!!!, realmente maravilloso tenor es Francisco Araiza!!!

[@yesblanche]

This is just fantastic...I fully agree with the posters sentiments that this is a 'masterclass of singing'. Wonderful!

[@cantanteporsiempre]

pure gold!!

Maravillosa interpretación, me encanta, bravo maestro Araiza!

[@Cherubinetto]

Eccellente, credo che Araiza sia uno dei tenori con il timbro di voce più bello che io abbia mai ascoltato. La tecnica e l'intrepretazione sono naturalmente una meraviglia ma il suono è una bellezza totale

[@arturo8402]

I love Araiza...he sung the leggiero rep with balls!!

[@TheInternetIsSerious]

That was stunning. Well sung!

[@Fuiga]

mille grazzie per scrivire questi parole. scuza il mio italiano, non e buono. ma io credo anche che Araiza e uno di migliore tenori nel mondo. DIECI MILLA ANNI al nostro tenore messicano. ciao e mille grazzie

[@miwdiva]

I agree, Juan Diego Florez is cute as Ramiro, but he doesn't have the fire, the balls, the virility of Araiza...I love this man, he is so fabulous.

[@yesblanche]

This is marvelous!! What a wonderful singer...such a beautiful voice and secure technique.

[@pljcj]

Bravo! There is no better Ramiro than Araiza. Fioratura with balls!

[@alfredobarajas8997]

No era tenor ligero como flores pero tenia la agilidad de uno el mejor tenor en rossini y mozart sin duda

[@norma2401]

Bravo Maestro !!!

[@watekeman]

algo me hace pensar que este papel se hizo para el, he escuchado tantas interpretaciones pero ninguna con tanto sentimiento como el de este aria, como debe de ser. gracias por el aporte

[@vaquero7x]

Maestro Araiza is amazing!!

[@vitellia]

What a great performance! Such a warm and even "meaty" sound but so flexible and agile! I may begin to prefer him even to Juan Diego! Araiza ROCKS!

[@Fuiga]

hey... My pleasure!! I hope you enjoy him, he is one of the best tenors and he is Mexican, he is great!

[@secretofsinging]

FABULOSO !!!! BRAVO

[@eurydike]

beautiful!!!!!

[@Desideria7]

He is not a tenor, he is a man with a high voice (like used to say Caruso). Just great, the best Rossini singer of all times!

[@Gregory10000000000]

Wonderful!

[@user-iw2ex7ze8r]

Bravo maestro

[@turbofreddy]

Great technique! A real voice lesson not to open the mouth too much when singing the high notes!

[@dalferr]

Bravo!

[@slimgersh]

Genius!

[@clairejucker3644]

Francisco Araiza est et restera mon Ténor préféré et mon souvenir le plus extraordinaire.

[@Fuiga]

Cenerentola in this particular production was Ann Murray, and it is a very worthy production in general... all the singers are a great treat

[@Gisechan]

Este hombre es el mejor Ramiro de la historia. Hay también una grabación de 1982 por youtube de una representación con Marilyn Horne que está también impecable y aunque no lo veo me transmite todo con la voz. No hay punto de comparación con ningún otro que haya escuchado. No digo que Flores y otros lo hagan mal es solo que Araiza es alucinante y les pasa muy por encima.

[@DanielHernandez-mq9yj]

escucha a Javier camarena :)

[@AndySaenz]

VIVA MEXICO! I'm a huge fan of Juan Diego, but I think this guy is better. I'm not just saying that as a fellow Mexican, but purely as an opera fan.

[@slimgersh]

Araiza here is simply marvelous!

[@David45NV1]

@ivancin25 Ramon Vargas es un buen cantante mientras que MAESTRO ARAIZA es un GRAN cantante, un GRAN actor y un GRAN liederista. No hay comparacion.

[@cicciobarracchia]

Super

[@SoundAndFury12]

i think im in love.....with his voice.

[@aguacun]

By the way, here at youtube there are some videos of a baritone Nelson Matinez... he have the CORE of the voice ... is great!

[@kriklun]

WOOOOW...:D:D:D now thats how it should be done...:D:D:D

[@alexmacias]

GENIUS!! BRAVO ARAIZA!

[@tomasjuhasz]

absolutly Bravo!

[@deepeyes29]

i love how the chorus members preen everytime he hits the C. ha!

[@Lora0993]

Marvellous, the perfect Ramiro

[@germanquintero10121946]

una voz prodigiosa con una tecnica exquisita

[@martindogo]

Lo ke hace este hombre es muy dificil de hacer,y hacerlo de la forma ke lo hace mas aun...bravo,por supuesto es un tenor liero,para su voz,son mas faciles estas coloraturas ke para por ej,un tenor lirico o un espinto,pero igual es dificil cantar Rossini.saludos-

[@zegermans750]

so as someone who got into opera recently, can anyone today actually sing rossini this well?

[@oliverdelica2289]

Not much unfortunately

[@0maalo580]

Que viva la madre que te pario !!!!

[@jewelmarkess]

Araiza IS better than Florez. I'd imagine everyone will agree with you there. And Araiza could sing ANYTHING - best Mozartian tenor since Wunderlich, best Rossinian tenor in recorded history, and he could sing Wagner too, well enough to put many today's Wagnerian tenors to shame. Check out also Ramon Vargas - also a Mexican tenor and among the best in the world today. Not Araiza, but fuller voice than Florez.

[@jewelmarkess]

Very true. If only he'd have been a little younger...

[@alfredomontane578]

ARAIZA Y FLORES NO SE PUEDEN COMPARAR PORQUE SON DE DISTINTAS ÉPOCAS. SI LOS PONEMOS,CADA UNO EN SU MEJOR MOMENTO,PREFIERO A ARAIZA PORQUE SU TIMBRE ES MENOS LIGERO QUE EL DE JUAN DIEGO Y AÚN ASÍ,DEMUESTRA UNA AGILIDAD VOCAL SORPRENDENTE, EN ROSSINI Y MOZART ERA ESPECIALISTA Y UN GRAN INTÉRPRETE DE LIED.

[@Fuiga]

I have the whole DVD so I will rip the aria and post it for you! soon you will see it here, you can subscribe to my videos so you will get a notice whenever I upload it

[@redepecho]

eres maestro de musica??? ni siquiera compares, cada uno con lo suyo..ok

[@Fuiga]

Hell YEAH!!!!

[@ezayi]

What they are saying is the truth. Flores has such a small voice it is ridiculous he became so famous because of recordings. It is very disappointing when someone hears him live. Usually I don´t say that kind of things but unfortunately it is the truth.

[@js59695]

yes and better but this is good. liten to juan diego florez or ramon vargas or...i dont like rockwell blakes voice but he has amazing technique. My absolute favorit is Lawrence Brownlee but Vargas sings it with balls using correct technique

[@norma2401]

?????

[@aguacun]

Totally agree with you... I think the best techinque of famous latin tenors Araiza is teh owner. Shame he was seduced by the dark side of the force for heavy roles. The core of the sound you mentioned is the use of the body, that is the support and gives the color of the voice in the old singers techinque... this kind of breath emition is no longer tought!Juan deigo is a good artist...but have no "core"!

[@Productora_HL_Noticias]

Aquí algo efectivamente lo canta bien pero no como los de ahora que lo más estacato Araiza no canta el aria completa, escuchen versión del rey del fiato Rockwell Blake, quién se puede decir él verdadero precursor del canto rosiniano, que luego siguió Lawrence broonleen, Juan Diego Flórez y Camarena.

[@Productora_HL_Noticias]

@@alex37644 interesante tu comentario, según tú cuál es la verdadera forma de cantar agukidwdes de rossini, con el marcado estacado de araiza y voz más de falsete o la versión de Blake, juan diego h compañía qie la cantan más de punta y no citan marcado estacato

[@Productora_HL_Noticias]

@@alex37644 creo que si mal no me equivoco juan diego florez canta diferente a Araiza, Camarera sí se puede tomar como sucesor a la técnica de Araiza. Más estacato marcado Blake, florez, broonlee tienen una misma forma sí se compara la técnica. Menos estacado y más ligado.

[@Tico4president]

My God, his voice is soo beautiful but the aspirated coloratura is a bit annoying imo

[@CamoflaugeDinosaue]

You think? I find his version to be the perfect medium betwen JDF and someone like Javier Camarena. Florez nailed every note but his coloratura kind of blended together a bit much, whereas Camarena stuck a butchers knife of breath between every single note - amazing skill, but doesn't sound as good. Maestro Araiza seperates them just enough, without at all going overboard, all while keeping his baritone-like warmth. Pretty amazing imo.

[@oswaldobmeraz]

Yo estoy harto también de esos comparamaníacos.

[@ezayi]

It doesn´t have anything to do with having a strong voice. It has to do with really carrying to perform whatever a singer has to do in a piece. Unfortunately for him he has three dinamics; Mezza di voce, mezza di voce and mezza di voce. And is very boring. If for that Im considered a "bad valuer" according to you... then with pleasure.

[@mannullll]

bastante mal diria yo =) mi humilde opinion
