Carreras and Caballe two unbeatable artists - they had power and emotion in every note - There will never be anyone better than these two -absolutely wonderful

[@guidomancini3792]

Oggi, 16 maggio 2019, ricordo con grandissima emozione, quella sera di quasi 45 anni fa, quando ebbi la fortuna di poter essere presente allo spettacolo con il quale il grande José debuttò nel mondo della lirica. Considero José, e lo dico senza retorica, un grandissimo uomo ed un altrettanto grandissimo attore e cantante. Ancora oggi, a distanza di 45 anni, riascoltare la sua voce ha suscitato "recondite armonie". Grazie José!!!

[@guidomancini3792]

Mi piacerebbe colloquiare con la persona che ha condiviso il mio, che presumo essere un amante della lirica. Grazie!

[@user-gj9wl8bu9s]

Да! Каррерас - великий человек,пример для многих,самозабвенное служение искусству и людям. Неподражаемый голос: тембр, чистота,мастерство,эмоциональность,величайший профессионализм- вот что делает его великим актёром.Сколько энергии он вложил в борьбу с лейкемией за человеческие жизни .Низкий ему поклон.Храни его Господи

[@CotaDangelo]

What a debut in La Scala, he got ovations in every aria he sang...My respect to Josep!!

[@piccaluga35]

The smalto on Carreras' voice is unbelievable. Even richer than Di Stefano and no problems with the top notes, an excellent Bb in the opening arietta and a solid high C with Caballe in the duet. What a voice!

[@ANTONIOTONI68]

Absolutely true! In my opinion, Carreras was usually better than Di Stefano. Extraordinary!

[@margybickerton1016]

Carreras to my mind was the greatest - I have never enjoyed an opera or concert to the extent I did when he was in them - absolutely beautiful powerful voice - and full of feelings and emotions- he made you feel his performances.

[@LoveMusic-pd5iz]

What does smalto mean?

[@piccaluga35]

@@LoveMusic-pd5iz smalto means the sheen or gloss on the voice, the sound is brilliant but not edgy.

[@LoveMusic-pd5iz]

@@piccaluga35 Thank you! You are so right, a perfect term to apply to Carreras' beautiful voice

[@lucasdebevec8581]

Carreras y Caballe cuando cantan JUNTOS se potencian. ¡¡¡¡Es una una unión indescriptible!!!!! El está aquí en estado de gracia infinita.

[@bethfiori4708]

Such a gorgeous voice, with both passion and refinement, from an artist who faced death at the height of his powers, returned to his career with a somewhat different but no less beautiful voice, and whose lifelong energetic dedication to art and philanthropy is an inspiration!

How exciting then and still is, what a beautiful Tenor and Artist! His voice timbre is unique shining youthful with rich colors, and I like that it did not age as much as others'. Thank you for posting,

[@downyc]

This is in the time when Jose Carreras was a bright young tenor on the rise and some people were wondering if he was even better than the two most popular tenors in the world, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti. He was a different sound and the voice seemed to have strength throughout his vocal range. Perhaps, most people do not know that in the mid-1980s, Carreras began to show signs of fatigue, and on July 15, 1987, he was diagnosed with acute lymphocitic leukemia. He underwent chemotherapy and bone marrow surgery and returned a year later in concert, again. When you hear him singing with the other two tenors in "Three Tenors" concerts, you are not hearing the voice that awed the world, just a few years earlier. This recording shows the dfference in his voice.

[@user-py1jg6bb2r]

I am kind of "hate" three tenors stuff... but it was a great marketing effort to the general public... I was told that it was not a real opera goer's thing at all. But Carreras had gorgeous bright open handsome voice, kind of a reminder of Pippo, my favorite Italian singer Del Steffano. It is absultely glorious to see Jose on stage at his peak, with his handsome appearance on top of his shining voice on all stages. He is unique and never less than Pavarotti nor Domingo. @@downyc

Aquesta interpretació del Josep Carreras és simplement brillant i sobretot el que aporta al personatge és EMOCIÓ. Per mi és el tenor per exel·lencia que arriba al cor.

I criticize Carreras many times , buts he does sound beautiful here

[@marcela21884]

He was a "baby tenor" when he made his debut...

[@user-py1jg6bb2r]

not so, his timbre has the ringing tone, squillo, very youthful, has been till later years. That is his trademark.

Si sente che costa perche spingeva molto. Ma che bello! :)

No, stop this nonsense! There were a handful of great tenors and he was one of them. Be grateful we had a choice at the time; Pav, Domingo, Bergonzi, Gedda , Bonisolli etc-not only great singers, but also personalities! Count your blessings and stop dismissing great artists!
