Jonas Kaufmann: “E lucevan le stelle”

As part of the first performance in the new Met Stars Live in Concert series, tenor Jonas Kaufmann sings Cavaradossi’s Act III aria from Puccini’s “Tosca,” live from the Polling Abbey in Bavaria, Germany. July 18, 2020.

[@SR-jx8yu]

The timbre of his voice fascinates me! Sounds like a baritone with tenor extension! So warm and delicious!

[@user-iv4rj7zg3n]

for those who r impressed with this so-called perfomance , I really feel sorry for u because u cant differentiate the true beauty from this pure ''hit . How can u describe this bullshit with words like amazing , magnificant and so on ? He has no technick , no soul , no idea how to sing . He can not even take enough air to perform profecionally , the sound is lost and blocked deep down in throat and as a result all we hear is false notes . Listen to Franko Corellio or Domingo (in his best years ) and u will understand the difference . because the perfomance like that the opera nowadays is dead .

[@niikwho1075]

@@user-iv4rj7zg3nthis was a great performance. His style is simply very different from that of Corelli or Domingo.

[@leoknoll5428]

This diminuendo is witchery to me. The crescendo following black magic. Bravo

This was my mother's favourite. She's been gone for 1.5 years, so I'm listening in her honour.... thank you Jonas

HaSi Danke, Jonas Kaufmann, danke, Helmut Deutsch für das wunderbare Konzert am Sonnabend. Es war ein Ohren- und Seelenschmaus. Ich habe selten 20 Dollar so sinnvoll ausgegeben. Danke an die Met Opera für die Initiative und die Intermezzi!

[@barndad2220]

That was absolutely magnificent. Tosca was my mother’s favorite opera and I had the pleasure of escorting her to the production by our Indianapolis Opera Company months before she passed. While bittersweet she was happy to be out, happy to enjoy Tosca, and happy to share an evening with her son. A beautiful memory for me to this day. I now think back on that evening and smile. Bravo!!!!! And thank you.

[@berkerdemirpolat680]

E lucevan le stelle, Ed olezzava la terra Stridea l'uscio dell'orto E un passo sfiorava la rena. Entrava ella fragrante, Mi cadea fra la braccia. O dolci baci, o languide carezze, Mentr'io fremente le belle forme disciogliea dai veli! Svanì per sempre il sogno mio d'amore. L'ora è fuggita, e muoio disperato! E muoio disperato! E non ho amato mai tanto la vita! Tanto la vita!

[@JamesAHollandMusic]

Oh what an artist! The greatest Tenor of our time. Nobody comes even close to his vocal mastery today. Even Domingo and Pavarotti couldn’t sing the diminuendo on that phrase! If only I too could have been a tenor but, alas, I’m just a baritone and, as such, will never be able to sing these divine melodies! Bravo Maestro Kaufmann!

[@jackoconnell9428]

Look up Corelli's diminuendo on this.

[@sergiovega3940]

Con dos cojones ! Sin complejos, arriesgando y expresando. Cansado de escuchar egos que no se la juegan y repiten lo mismo una y otra vez. Ir a ese pianísimo, cambio de color no puede ser más acertado dentro del contexto de la ópera. Está rogando que le dejen mandar una carta al amor de su vida mientras espera para ser hecho mierda. Nadie cantaría esto si no fuese desde la pena y el desgarro más profundo del alma. Bravo 🎉

[@marialuisadellacasabelling2292]

Thank you very much for the lovely moments you give me. It is a pity that you sip your presence in Italy, leaving Venice , Emilia Romagna aside. Hier are the "melomani" of the area.

Years go by, but still nobody can sing it like him, and I think nobody ever will.

Have you heard Corelli in Parma? If not, please listen to the greatest E Lucevan Le Stelle ever. I would love to hear your opinion.

@user-iv4rj7zg3n Corellio is great, certainly...but Jonas's version here is still just excellent. I stand by my positive assessment.

[@chrishollandsworth6700]

@user-iv4rj7zg3n This definitely outshines the Jose Carreras version as well. Jonas clearly 'knows to sing', despite your disapproval.
