A voice like no other absolutely brilliant

[@MLewis6270]

This was the production that got me hooked on Cosi, particularly Hadley's performance. Un'aura amorosa is when the comedy up to this point suddenly becomes something more. Ferrando is a romantic who is not just playing at love. For him there is a deeper meaning. Beginning to open up all the bittersweet emotions coming in the second act. Brilliant Mozart. Brilliant production. Brilliant singing.

I can't stop listening to this!

[@mirjamdevries9376]

Potente, corposo, con acuti squillanti e voce bella e brillante , solare! 💥🌹

[@draganvidic2039]

He sings like a boss! Full sound, no crooning or nasality.

[@matheuscastilho8940]

One of the last great lyric tenors in the world

[@andrzejzborowski4920]

That's the right technique. Jerry Hadley was an underrated singer in my opinion.

[@tkmmusician]

God I miss him.

[@michaellawrence6696]

I don't have to understand the language to totally express how much Mozarts music touches me. He was and always will be the master.

[@IsaacChute-m6n]

Great voice!!! One of the best!

[@陳科祕書長]

Hadley could sing and act so marvellously, and in this video his acts with each note he sings while making gestures. A greatest singer and artist.

[@Butchy1]

It's sung with great sensitivity and musicality by Hadley but I prefer him in other repertoires (Massenet, Puccini).

[@therealronalddonald9220]

Definitely slowed it down to show off. But I approve (Y)

[@eileenryan9006]

Spellbinding.

[@TimothyJonSarris]

Prefer this rendition over the one he sang under M° Tate.

[@foljamb]

interesting--hadley answers don al fonso's question conversationally (talky, fast) and then does the repeat (slower) as a personal reverie...ok, but the aria is among mozart's uniquely most beautiful tunes from beginning to end, and oh, how i wish hadley started it as a reverie instead of a smart conversational reply, cutting off half of mozart and turning it into flippancy--jerry, didn't you want to sing every 8-bar line as mozart's most beautiful 3/8?--and the extended cadences? aren't they the most exquisite extended over-repeated one-last-kiss? you didn't do that, pal--was it the gig--was it the director...well, now here you are immortalized on youtube

Jerry considered everything! Originally, he intended to be a CONDUCTOR and musically thought from that perspective. He sang it with the charm that was HIS choice always making strong bold choices.
