Such a powerful, beautiful performance by such a tenderly handsome Carreras. He never fails to draw me into the music.

Grandísimo Carreras!

[@marcela21884]

Grande Josep !

[@philippeclement8140]

Une folie d'un point de vue vocal, car le rôle est lourd et très exposé. Mais cette lecture ardente, romantique, où la voix est maîtrisée, avec un timbre de jeunesse et d'ardeur, façonne un personnage inoubliable, une incarnation d'exception. Juste formidable, beau souvenir des (brèves) années d'or de Carreras.

Величайшие голоса XX века! Кареррас великолепен!!! Брависсимо, маэстро!

[@rosacelani9866]

Ok , io però aggiungerei Pavarotti anche per la sua longitudine della voce.Carreras già prima della malattia nn aveva la voce degli anni ‘70

[@janosvas8597]

such honey in his voice

[@vassilismoustakis1214]

Thank you! This is a great performance. I have the full opera in vinyl 'pirate' recording. The voice of Carreras was superb that night. He performed a melodic version of the role. Not so dramatic yet great! More dramatic versions can be found in Del Monaco or even better at Corelli.

[@richarddelguidice6416]

That may be, but Carreras gave the character more depth and humanity.

[@maninironmask7925]

No version is more dramatic, vivid, and realistic than Giuseppe Di Stefano's.

[@richarddelguidice6416]

@@maninironmask7925 I am in complete agreement. Di Stefano is the best I have ever heard.

[@johnblasiak2499]

Great here

Carreras was in his prime from his debut in New York through the 70's once the 80s came he was decline especially the top voice but still good until his illness

Kauffmann hahahaha the bariton tenor??

[@andrzejzborowski4920]

@@ezequielborjas7116 Kaufmann is not a baritone. He is a lyric tenor pretending to be spinto

[@andrzejzborowski4920]

@@ezequielborjas7116 I agree with you. He had a beautiful voice when he was young, but with lack of support. Later he changed his tecnique, but I don't like it. Too much throat. As you write "voce ingolata".

[@lucianogualtieri6721]

Premetto che sono un ammiratore di Carreras. Ma trovo stupido e volgare quanto scrive su Kaufmann.

[@pippofan]

Well sung! Can you hear who his influence was in this performance?

[@Luifernal6]

Su emisión era más limpia y nada nasal él era muy superior a Domingo

Insomma è al limite delle sue possibilità...

The "limit of his possibilities" is so far beyond that of most mortals.

[@stone301]

There’s glimpses of beautiful singing, but his top notes are noisy Juan Diego Florez-esque screams

[@nikolaikrinets5136]

Вы больны? 😅

[@Mariano-ge6de]

Su voz no tiene nada que ver con la de Florez. Florez es un tenor ligero muy bueno en Rossini y algunas óperas de Belcanto y en ese repertorio tiene unos agudos espectaculares. Carreras efectivamente, en este repertorio está tirante, precisamente se destrozó la voz por cantar repertorio inapropiado para su voz. Era un lírico y se empeño en cantar papeles veristas y Verdianos totalmente ajenos a sus características vocales y llegó pronto el declive.

[@Ilvermibaleno]

Ci stava per lasciare le penne...troppo urlato, zero legato, zero Verdi insomma.

[@eluceanlestelle]

...sì, è troppo urlato, spesso si arrampica sugli specchi, il legato non mi pare così brutto ,ma una voce così bella chissà quando la sentiremo ancora !

[@AlainArvelo]

this era of carreras (77-84) is unmatched. go back to listening to juan diego flores

[@margybickerton1016]

Oh I think you only need to hear the applause and all the bravo etc to know you are very wrong - Carreras was magical!!

[@llfillipo2131]

early carreras much better than pavarotti Also pavarotti is very overrated Both sang dramatic roll by besiness But voice is more suitable for carreras(actually he also not suitable dramatic roll) Because carreras is lyric, Pavarotti is reggero…

[@David-dz3ig]

@@AlainArvelo I would go back to 1974- 1984. 1975-1976 were also terrific years for Carreras. (Boheme,Luisa Miller)
