Jose Carreras Sings "Amor ti vieta" from Fedora

Live at Liceu, 1993

[@jeffbetts9420]

Illness or no illness there will be a lot of tenors who would like to sing this well. Certainly a great singer before his illness and I for one am glad he continued to sing after his illness. An example to us all.

[@bethfiori4708]

Indeed, he is an inspiring example of perseverance and committed passion. Bravo!

[@leilaguimaraes7375]

Que linda voce!!!!Carreras inolvidable!!!

[@bethfiori4708]

He is the most gorgeous leading man, with stage presence, interpretive subtlety, charisma, and most importantly, a voice that melts hearts.

[@pump066]

1983 Carreras was another tenor.This sounds like the 90's, with much more insecure high notes and more vibrato. He's still one of my all time favorites, this latin Heldentenor!

[@kevinbraden798]

This would also be post cancer. That chemo and long therapy is tremendously hard on the body. He came back rather quickly and successfully, but the voice was still effected. ♥

[@larrywoods6318]

One of the great voices regardless what of others say.

[@alexcarreras9864]

Great tenor. A incredible human 👏🏻👏🏻

[@kelvinpipe4339]

Absolutely beautiful, well done Josè

[@terrietackett8964]

This Tenor has brought me endless joy....One of the greatest, ever.

[@varaldoampelio34]

Carreras è un grandissimo' anche se la malattia gli ha minato la voce è sempre emozionante ascoltarlo e il suo timbro si sente sempre. Ha un anima e un'aura straordinarie.

[@sylviakreye]

Thank you for sharing this phantastic moment! Josep Carreras is my favourite tenor.

Feliz cumpleaños, maestro!!!!!!!

[@czechoperafan]

I saw Fedora with Carreras (and Baltsa) at the Wiener Staatsoper in 1994. Thank you for recording. Remembrance of times past :-)

[@MrSwifts31]

The problem is that we have two Jose Carreas voices Pre 1987,and Post 1987. In the late 80's Jose was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.Although with treatment he recovered,the voice was never what it had been before(sadly) Whether this was the result of the leukemia,or the harsh drugs and treatment he had for it who can say?

[@mickey1849]

By his mid-30's the best of his voice was gone.

[@mikedeieso920]

Few can match the voice quality of Carreras at his best. One of the more beautiful and interesting, especially in his prime. I’ll take his any day over the more “technically superior” voices whose praises the opera snobs love to sing.

[@lucpebo2]

No, this perfomance was recorded live in Liceu in 1993. I Have it on dvd.

@C1r5a19 In fact, lucpebo2 is right, this performance was in 1993, and you can see it complete at my youtube channel. Thanks. bye.

[@musi45ro]

Que belleza. La voz de Carrera me gusta más que la de Pavarotti aunque la de Pavarotti es una joya, un diamante invaluable. Cómo se hubiera escuchado esta aria en la voz de Miguel Fleta.

[@amantedellopera1681]

Far from his best here,but in his prime he had a wonderful voice,vibratto is all over the place here

[@millonety123]

@sugarbist, es cierto. Una pena, tenia muy buenas cualidades para el canto.

[@Agorante]

Don't take that stuff about having trouble with high notes too seriously. Tenors just like to feel sorry for themselves. There are many tenors with more insecure top ends and many baritones too. I heard Pavarotti blow a top note in Lucia and Domingo in Pagliacci. Carreras, when well, was quite reliable. This piece may be too heavy for him but it's not too high. A great, great singer but maybe a bit to introspective.

[@mickey1849]

Yes, in the 1970's, a great singer. Not in 1993.

[@marcela21884]

Carreras has always admitted in interviews that he had a problem with high notes. But, who cares about high notes? He can brings the notes a little lower and still sound wonderful. Besides his stage presence and good looks forgive the lack of high C...

[@mickey1849]

In the 1970's.....Yes!

[@eurydike]

where is it possible to get this dvd?

[@C1r5a19]

thanks for sharing this, but it's 1983, not 1993

[@jenniferlogan4914]

Yes, 1993, I saw it at Covent Garden in ‘94.

[@gregmutch3833]

Childishly grandiose. Indeed narcissism wrecked a once lovely personable voice.

[@mickey1849]

The illness is called "Giganticitis". By age 11 he certainly believed himself to be the next Pippo or Lanza. However, God failed to cooperate with him in his ambition. He is lacking the requisite amount of vocal folds for greatness, and also pharyngeal space for high notes.

[@maridedona9135]

E allora sentite Mario del Monaco…

[@ransomcoates546]

Already shot vocally here. His illness obviously made things very much worse, but he was in late di Stefano territory long before Pippo himself.

[@mickey1849]

Yeah. He was really pushing here. Sounds like it too.

[@mino7520]

Je ne pense pas que cette interprétation soit exemplaire, en effet la voix est altérée et tremblante et les aiguës sont timides. Sans doute est ce le fait de la fatigue engendrée par la maladie et on ne peut que souhaiter qu'il retouve sa voix des années passées.

[@beachfanatic2010]

He sang for many years with a damaged voice. This is obviously too heavy for him. Why didn’t he just stick to singing the lyric tenor repertorio? I don’t get it!

[@larrywoods6318]

for the same reason Pav didn't.......

[@connormacleod2023]

You can't stick with the lyric forever it's not a matter of choice but of possibility the voice become havier with ageing ..In most cases everything is personal it's how you age ...

[@mickey1849]

He trashed his voice early on..............................Icarus. He could have stuck with the lighter roles and made a fine living. It's a CHOICE.

[@jorgealbertojoselettera4829]

Por qué tan gritado???

[@sugarbist]

It seems that Carrera's vocal line is all shot up at a very early age.It's a shame, bacause he did have a fine quality of voice early on

[@robert111k]

Ufff, qué mal estaba ya Carreras.

[@grahammorgan3858]

Sorry. Too much vibrato and sometimes a bit flat. Straining. Nothing like his young years. Remarkable vocal courage and control of his then limited capability

[@keiththomas9174]

Carrera seems to struggle that was not very good

[@militarpoliticanoticias9539]

Hay una grabación de esta pieza de 1975 acompañado de piano, en la que Carreras está fantástico. En esta, el pobre comete todos los defectos que puede cometer un cantante de ópera, y alguno más. Se esfuerza mucho, eso sí.

[@robertotorres9945]

Pues esta grabación es muy superior a muchas otras q tú puedas decir q no comenten errores técnicos. Debes saber...que él no posee la mejor técnica.....pero con sus interpretaciones supera a muchos....te enseño 100 tenores con está aria....y en la plenitud de sus facultades y no lo van a superar.

[@militarpoliticanoticias9539]

@@robertotorres9945 Carreras tuvo unos años muy buenos, su juventud, y unos años muy malos, cuando volvió tras su enfermedad y hasta que se retiró de la ópera. Luego se dedicó a los recitales, que son menos exigentes, y volvió a tener unos años buenos. No entraré en si su problema tenía que ver con su enfermedad, con defectos en la técnica, o con mala elección de repertorio. No lo sé. Pero sí se que aquí estaba en su peor momento vocal, con un vibrato tan abierto que parece el grito de Tarzán y con problemas graves para mantener la voz con un volumen uniforme. Y eso no hay interpretación que lo arregle. En esta misma producción y también con Freni hay una grabación de Plácido Domingo de la misma época, donde está mucho mejor. Y ni hablar de compararlo con tenores como Bjorling, Di Estefano, Corelli o cualquier otro de los grandes de la primera mitad del s. XX.
